Bear Grips Pro ShopsBear Grips Blanks With No Minimum Order and Zero Inventory Risk
- Every Bear Grips piece, from the $19.88 Airlume tee to the $54.88 leggings, prints and ships one at a time at the same base price as a bulk order.
- There is no case minimum and no upfront purchase; a piece is only produced after a customer or vendor places the order.
- Unsold inventory does not exist in this model since nothing is made ahead of a sale.
- Shipping to the end buyer is free and orders typically arrive in about a week.
The Old Bulk-Order Problem for Bottoms and Layers
Leggings, biker shorts, and a sports bra are exactly the categories where bulk buying punishes a small shop hardest. A typical wholesale case minimum on activewear bottoms runs 24 to 48 units split across sizes XS to XL, and colors cannot be mixed freely inside that minimum. A vendor guesses wrong on size distribution and ends up with a stack of mediums nobody wants, sitting in a closet for a year, money already spent.
How Single-Piece Ordering Works on Every Bear Grips SKU
On Pro Shops, a Bear Grips Comfort Soft Hoodie or a pair of Signature Seamless Leggings is not produced until an order comes in. A vendor lists the piece once, at the VIP or Free base price plus whatever profit is set on top, and each unit is printed, packed, and shipped only after a customer buys it in their specific size and color. Order one unit or a hundred in a month and the base price per unit does not change. There is no volume discount to chase and no volume penalty for staying small. The full setup steps for a first shop are in the Bear Grips house brand overview.

Where No-Minimum Ordering Matters Most in the Bear Grips Line
The effect is largest on the highest-priced pieces. A 24-unit minimum on the $54.88 VIP seamless leggings would tie up well over $1,300 before a single sale. A 24-unit minimum on the $45.88 padded sports bra runs a similar range. Single-piece ordering removes that math completely, which is part of why leggings, biker shorts, and the sports bra show up in more small shops now than they did when case minimums were the only path to stocking activewear bottoms. A category-by-category breakdown of the whole line is in the complete Bear Grips blanks lineup, and the profit side of the math is covered in Bear Grips brand profit margins.
The Same Model, Different Trade
No-minimum, print-to-order is not unique to activewear. The same underlying math, skip the case minimum, print what is actually ordered, applies whether the product is a legging or a branded work shirt, covered from the service-trades side in custom electrician shirts: no minimum and bulk pricing side by side. The mechanics are identical across the whole Pro Shops catalog, Bear Grips pieces included.
Order One Piece or a Hundred
Every Bear Grips piece prints to order at the same base price, no minimum, no upfront stock.
