The Bear Grips House Brand: A Guide to the In-House Blanks on Pro Shops

Every catalog has a house brand, and on Pro Shops that house brand is Bear Grips. Alongside licensed names like Bella+Canvas, Next Level, Champion, Sport-Tek, and Gildan sits a line of 12 pieces built and priced by the platform itself: two cotton tees, a crewneck, a hoodie, two shorts cuts, a sports bra, a biker short, and three legging styles. For a vendor deciding what to stock in a new shop, the house brand pieces are worth understanding on their own terms, not just as filler between the name-brand basics. Here is the full lineup, what each piece costs, and where it fits next to the rest of the catalog.

What "House Brand" Means Inside the Pro Shops Catalog

Most print-on-demand catalogs are built entirely from licensed brands: Bella+Canvas, Gildan, Next Level, and the rest. Pro Shops does that too, but it also runs one line that the platform designs, sources, and prices itself: Bear Grips. A house brand piece is not a private-label copy of a licensed style. It is a separate product line built to a specific price point and fit, sold in the same catalog, under the same no-minimum ordering rules as every other brand a vendor can stock.

For a vendor building a shop, the practical difference is small: house brand and licensed brand pieces list side by side, print the same way, and ship on the same timeline. The difference that matters most is price and category coverage, which is where the rest of this guide focuses.

Why Bear Grips Pricing Sits Where It Does

VIP base prices on the Bear Grips line save $4.05 to $11.07 per item compared to the Free plan base, the same VIP discount structure that applies across the whole catalog. Where the house brand differs from most licensed brands is coverage: it is the only single line that spans tees all the way through to leggings, which lets a vendor build most of a category, tops through bottoms, from one brand family if that is the look they want. A full breakdown of what a vendor actually keeps per item is in Bear Grips brand profit margins.

Mixing Bear Grips With Bella+Canvas, Next Level, and Champion

Nothing about the catalog requires a shop to pick one brand and stay there. A common pattern: the Bear Grips Airlume tee as the entry-level cotton tee, a Bella+Canvas or Next Level piece for a softer triblend option, Champion for a heavyweight hoodie, and Bear Grips leggings and the sports bra rounding out the women's activewear side, where the house brand has more range than most single licensed lines in the catalog. See how the two most-stocked tee brands compare to the house brand tee in Bear Grips vs Bella+Canvas and Next Level.
