What Champion Tee Price Actually Means on a Print-on-Demand Shop

The base price is what a vendor pays Bear Grips per unit at cost. It covers printing, packing, and free US shipping to the end customer. The retail price is what the vendor charges that customer, and the vendor sets it. There is no fixed markup and no approval needed to change it.

How Many Sales Cover the VIP Subscription

Piece	Save per unit on VIP	Units to cover $59/mo
Cropped tee	$6.07	About 10
Crewneck	$8.04	About 8
Performance hoodie	$8.05	About 8

On the $105 a month Done-For-You VIP plan, the same savings alone cover 13 to 17 units, before counting the design, mockup, and curation work bundled into that plan.

Setting a Champion Retail Price That Keeps the Margin

The default recommended profit across the catalog is $10 an item, but Champion pieces often support more given the brand recognition and heavier feel. Example: a Champion crewneck at the $41.88 VIP base priced at $59.88 retail nets $18 profit per sale, before the vendor has spent anything on marketing.
