Bear Grips Pro ShopsBulk Moisture-Wicking Polo Shirts With No Minimum Order Required
- Traditional bulk polo orders require a minimum quantity, an upfront deposit, and a two to four week wait.
- Bear Grips prints one piece at a time at the same per-unit price as a hundred-piece order.
- The moisture-wicking performance polo runs $34.88 VIP base, $41.93 on the free plan.
- New hires or late additions to a team order without reopening a bulk production run.
Searching for bulk moisture-wicking polo shirts almost always means one thing: a team, a company, or a league needs matching shirts for a group of people and does not want to pay retail prices one at a time. The problem with most bulk and wholesale vendors is the fine print, a minimum order count, a deposit before production starts, and a wait of two to four weeks before anything ships. Single-piece printing through Bear Grips Pro Shops matches per-piece prices without the minimum.
Why "Bulk" Usually Comes With a Catch
Most wholesale and bulk apparel vendors price by quantity tier. A common structure looks like this: 12-23 pieces at one price, 24-47 at a lower price, 48 and up at the best price, each tier gated behind a minimum. That works fine if a team has exactly 24 or 48 people signed up on day one. It falls apart the moment a business needs 9 shirts, or a team grows by 3 people mid-season, or a company wants to test a design before committing.
Traditional Bulk Order vs Single-Piece Printing
| Traditional bulk vendor | Bear Grips single-piece | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | Usually 12-24 pieces | 1 piece |
| Upfront deposit | Often required before production | None |
| Turnaround | 2-4 weeks typical | About a week |
| Reordering for new hires | New production run, new minimum | Order one anytime |
| Size mix risk | Guess sizes ahead of time | Each buyer picks their own size |
What a Moisture-Wicking Polo Costs Per Piece
The Sport-Tek performance polo, the moisture-wicking piece in the Bear Grips catalog, runs $41.93 base on the free plan and $34.88 base on Self-Service VIP ($59 a month for 200 live products). That base price already includes printing or embroidery setup, packing, and free shipping to the buyer. For a full breakdown of retail pricing and profit per shirt, see the pricing guide.
How Teams and Businesses Order Without a Minimum
- Set up a shop, free plan for up to 3 live products, or VIP for the full catalog.
- Upload the team or company logo and list the moisture-wicking polo.
- Share the shop link with the team, roster, or staff group.
- Each person orders their own size directly, or the organizer places one combined order.
- New members join later and order the same polo without waiting for a new production run.

When True Wholesale Still Makes Sense
Single-piece printing is not always the cheapest option at extreme scale. A one-time order of 500 or more identical polos through a traditional bulk supplier can sometimes land a lower per-unit cost than single-piece pricing. For most teams, gyms, and small to mid-size businesses ordering anywhere from 5 to 100 pieces with any size variation, the no-minimum model comes out ahead once the deposit, minimum, and reorder friction of traditional bulk are factored in.
Order Without a Minimum
One moisture-wicking polo or a hundred, same price per piece, no deposit, ships in about a week.
Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum order for moisture-wicking polos?
No. Bear Grips prints one piece at a time at the same base price as a large order. There is no minimum quantity and no deposit.
Do prices change if I only order one polo?
No. The base price is the same whether one person orders or fifty people order. VIP base is $34.88 per polo regardless of quantity.
Can I reorder the same polo later for new hires?
Yes. The shop stays live, so new team members or employees can order the same design anytime without waiting for a new production run.
Are there wholesale discounts for very large orders?
Bear Grips pricing does not change by volume. For most orders under a few hundred pieces the no-minimum, no-deposit model works out ahead of a traditional bulk vendor once fees and turnaround are counted.
