Bear Grips Pro ShopsCustom Comfort Colors Tees With No Minimum Order Required
- Traditional Comfort Colors wholesale means opening a supplier account and buying blanks in bulk before you print anything.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops skips that step entirely: single-piece printing at the same base price whether you sell one or one hundred.
- VIP base on the Oversized Boxy Crop Tee is $24.88 per piece, with printing, packing, and free shipping included.
- No upfront inventory purchase, no leftover stock, no wholesale minimum quantity.
Searches like "comfort colors tee shirts wholesale" and "comfort colors custom shirts bulk" usually come from the same place: someone needs a handful of custom Comfort Colors shirts and assumes bulk buying is the only path in. It is not the only path. Here is how single-piece Comfort Colors printing compares to the traditional wholesale route, and when each one actually makes sense.
Why Most "Wholesale" Searches Are Really About Avoiding a Minimum
Almost nobody searching for wholesale Comfort Colors shirts wants to run a wholesale business. They want a design on a handful of shirts without paying for a case of blanks they will not use. Traditional apparel wholesale is built around bulk pricing tiers, meaning the per-piece price only gets good at quantities most small businesses do not need.
Traditional Wholesale vs Single-Piece Printing
| Path | Minimum quantity | Upfront cost | Leftover inventory risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional wholesale + local printer | Often 12-24+ pieces | $150-$500+ before you sell one shirt | Yes, unsold sizes and colors sit in a closet |
| Bear Grips Pro Shops single-piece printing | 1 piece | $0 (print on demand as orders come in) | None, nothing is printed until it sells |
How Single-Piece Comfort Colors Ordering Works
The Oversized Boxy Crop Tee is priced the same per piece whether one person orders it or fifty people order it over a month.
- You upload your design once.
- Each order prints, packs, and ships individually, USA printed, about a week to the buyer's door.
- You set the retail price and keep the difference between retail and the $24.88 VIP base (or $29.92 on the free plan).
- Nothing prints until someone actually buys it, so there is no unsold stock to store or discount later.
Who Benefits Most From No-Minimum Printing
- Small gyms and studios running a one-off member drop with 10-30 expected buyers, not enough volume to justify a bulk print run.
- Solo instructors and coaches who want a few shirts for themselves and a handful of regulars.
- Teachers and community organizers printing for one class, one event, or one fundraiser.
- New brands testing whether a design sells before committing to bulk stock.
Setting Your Profit Margin Per Piece
Since there is no bulk discount tier to chase, pricing stays simple. A common structure on the $24.88 VIP base:
- $34.88 retail builds in a $10 profit per shirt, the platform's default recommended margin.
- $38.88-$44.88 retail works for a limited drop, event merch, or a design with strong demand.
- The default profit recommendation exists as a starting point. Vendors set their own retail price with no restrictions.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need a wholesale account to get custom Comfort Colors shirts?
No. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints single pieces at the same base price as a large order, no wholesale account or supplier relationship needed.
Is there a minimum quantity I have to order?
No. One shirt prints the same as a hundred. There is no minimum order quantity anywhere in the catalog.
Does the price get better if I sell in bulk?
The per-piece base price stays the same regardless of volume. Your profit scales with how many you sell, not with a wholesale discount tier.
What if I only need a handful of shirts for one event?
That is exactly the use case single-piece printing solves. Order as few as one, no leftover inventory, no unused sizes.
