The cost to put a logo on a shirt or hat depends on which method is used and which product it goes on, not on how complicated the logo looks. Embroidery and printing are priced into the base cost of the item itself on Bear Grips Pro Shops, with no separate per-color or per-stitch fee layered on top. Here is what each method actually costs by product.
Embroidery stitches the design directly into the fabric with thread, which works best on structured pieces like hats. Printing applies the design to the surface of the fabric with ink, which works on shirts, hoodies, and polos. In the current catalog, the Classic Flat Bill Snapback, Cuffed Winter Hat, and Youth Classic Baseball Hat all use embroidery, while the Classic Rope Hat and Premium 5-Panel Baseball Hat use printing.

Unlimited design elements and colors are included in each of these base prices, so a busier logo does not raise the cost.
No. The base price is all-inclusive, which removes the traditional per-color screen printing setup fee and per-stitch-count embroidery charge entirely. A five-color logo and a single-color wordmark cost the same to produce on the same product.

Embroidery generally holds up well on structured pieces like hats, and printed apparel is produced to standard wash care. Neither should be treated as a lifetime guarantee.
A clean, high-resolution logo file prints and stitches the sharpest. Most standard image formats work for upload.
