Bear Grips Pro ShopsCheap Team Shirts for Small Business: Construction Crews, Classrooms, and Office Staff
- Team shirts across industries share the same base pricing: from $19.88 VIP for a cotton tee.
- Construction crews, teacher teams, and office staff all buy the same basic pieces with different design needs.
- No minimum order means a 3-person office and a 30-person crew pay the identical per-shirt price.
- Cheap team shirts should still cover a real margin if the business is reselling rather than issuing them at cost.
Whatever the industry, a small business ordering team shirts hits the same wall: the local print shop wants a bulk order to hit a fair price, and most teams under 20-30 people do not need that many identical shirts. Construction crews, teacher teams outfitting a school year, and office staff all run into this the same way. Cheap team shirts, done right, means paying a fair single-piece price regardless of team size or industry.
Team Shirt Pricing Is the Same Across Industries
| Team type | Typical piece | VIP base | Suggested per-person retail or cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction crew | Cotton or moisture-wicking tee | $19.88-$23.86 | At cost, company-issued |
| Teacher team (school year kickoff) | Cotton crew tee | $19.88-$23.88 | $25-$28 if sold to staff |
| Small office staff | Polo or long sleeve | $29.88-$34.88 | At cost, company-issued |
The core insight: the base garment price does not change based on your industry. What changes is the design and how the piece gets distributed.
Construction Crews on a Budget
Crew shirts for construction businesses work best as company-issued cotton or moisture-wicking tees, printed with the company name and a back callout (phone number, license, service area). At $19.88-$23.86 VIP base, a 10-person crew costs $199-$239 to fully outfit with one shirt each, with zero unsold stock left in a truck bed.

Teacher teams often want a shirt for the first week of school, field day, or a grade-level identity. A cotton crew tee at $19.88-$23.88 VIP base, printed with the school year and grade or team name, keeps this affordable enough that a school or PTA can fund it directly, or sell it to staff at a small markup ($25-$28) without pricing anyone out.
Small Office Staff Apparel
Office teams tend to skip tees for client-facing roles and go straight to polos or long sleeves. At $29.88-$34.88 VIP base, a small office of 5-15 people can outfit client-facing staff for $150-$525 total, again with no minimum order forcing extra unused pieces.
The Common Thread: No Minimum, No Waste
Regardless of industry, the same rule holds: order exactly the number of team members, not a rounded-up batch size. New hire on a construction crew, new teacher joining mid-year, new office hire, all get their shirt the same week without waiting for the next bulk print run.

What is the cheapest team shirt option for a small business?
The Bear Grips Airlume cotton athletic tee at $19.88 VIP base, the same price whether the team is 3 people or 30.
Is there a discount for ordering more shirts at once?
No volume discount is needed. Every piece is the same base price whether ordered as a single unit or across a full team, since there is no minimum order requirement.
Should a school sell team shirts or give them away?
Both work. Many schools and PTAs fund the base cost directly and give shirts away, while others sell at a small markup ($5-$8 over base) to cover the cost without a fundraiser.
Can construction and office teams use the same platform?
Yes. The same 63-product catalog covers tees, polos, long sleeves, and hoodies suited to both crew and office use.
