Bulk construction shirt orders at Bear Grips Pro Shops use the same per-piece pricing as a single shirt order. A 10-shirt order pays $19.88 per tee at VIP base. A 200-shirt order pays $19.88 per tee at VIP base. No bulk discount math, no minimum threshold, no setup fees, no inventory. Free US shipping on every order.
Most custom apparel shops use a tiered bulk discount model: pay more per piece on 10 shirts, less per piece on 50, even less on 200. The model rewards quantity but punishes small orders.
Bear Grips Pro Shops uses a flat model: VIP base price is the same per piece regardless of quantity. The trade-off is that bulk orders do not get a deeper discount, but small orders do not pay a penalty. For most general contractors with rolling crew needs, the flat model averages out cheaper than a tiered model because the small orders happen more often than the deep-bulk runs.
For very large single-design runs (1,000+ pieces in one batch), a traditional bulk apparel vendor may still come out cheaper. The Pro Shops model is built for the 1-to-300-piece range where most construction crews actually order.
Most bulk orders sit in the 30-200 piece range. The flat per-piece pricing means there is no need to time orders around bulk thresholds.

Free shipping applies regardless of pattern. The shipping cost is built into the per-piece price.
Example bulk order pricing at VIP base for a typical seasonal refresh:

Total for 100-piece seasonal refresh: $2,533. Free US shipping included. No setup fees, no per-color charges, no minimum thresholds. Compared to a traditional bulk apparel program at $35-50 per crew member with rental fees, the seasonal refresh comes in at roughly $25 per crew member with zero rental commitments.
For bulk outerwear, the catalog covers:
The catalog does not include construction-specific outerwear like canvas work jackets, lined coats, or insulated bibs. For those pieces, sourcing happens through traditional workwear vendors. The Pro Shops catalog covers the branded apparel layer that sits over and under the workwear outerwear.
No bulk minimum, no setup fees. Flat $19.88 VIP base on tees regardless of quantity. Ship 100 pieces to one address or 100 different addresses. Free US shipping.
Start FreeNo. The per-piece VIP base price is the same on 1 piece or 1,000 pieces. The trade-off is that there is no setup fee, no minimum quantity, and no penalty on small orders. For most construction crews with rolling needs, this averages out cheaper than a traditional tiered bulk model.
There is no upper limit. Print partners can handle orders into the thousands of pieces per design. For orders over 500 pieces with tight delivery windows (event apparel, trade show coverage), reach out before ordering so the print partner can confirm timeline. Standard one-week shipping applies to most large orders.
Yes. The shop supports personalization fields at checkout. A 100-piece bulk order can include personalized crew names on each piece, with each crew member entering their name when they order. Personalization does not affect the per-piece price.
No, the per-piece price is flat on hats just like on shirts. A 100-cap order at $25.88 each is the same per-cap price as a single cap order. No bulk thresholds, no setup fees, no per-color surcharges.
