Bear Grips Pro ShopsCustom Apparel with No Minimum Order: The Complete Guide
- No minimum means you can order one printed shirt, hat, or hoodie without buying a bulk batch.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops has no order floor on any of its 63 blanks, from tees at $19.88 to leggings at $54.88 VIP base.
- Traditional clothing manufacturers set order floors of 24 to 100+ pieces per style and color plus setup fees per print.
- A no-minimum model lets a small business, team, or event order exactly what it needs and reorder later at the same per-piece price.
No minimum order means exactly what it sounds like: there is no smallest quantity you have to buy to get a custom printed shirt, hoodie, or hat. Order one piece for yourself, ten for a small team, or a hundred for a company event, and the per-piece price does not move. That is the opposite of how most clothing manufacturing has worked for decades, where a factory needs a minimum run to make a print job worth setting up. Bear Grips Pro Shops runs on the no-minimum model across its full 63-product catalog, printing each order only after someone actually buys it.
What no minimum actually means
"No minimum requirement" means a supplier will print and ship a single unit at the same base price as unit number fifty. There is no order floor, no per-color setup charge, and no requirement to commit to a fixed run of sizes and colors before you know what people actually want. On a Bear Grips Pro Shop, a design goes live the same day it is uploaded and stays available to order one at a time, indefinitely, until you take it down.
Compare that to the traditional clothing manufacturer model: a screen printer typically wants 24 to 48 pieces per design before they will even quote a job, plus a setup fee for each color in the print. A promotional products distributor often sets the floor even higher. Those minimums exist because traditional printing methods (screen printing, embroidery setup) have real per-job costs that only make sense to spread across a batch. Print-on-demand technology removes that constraint, which is why "no minimum clothing manufacturer" has become a real, searchable category rather than a contradiction in terms.

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.How the plans work without a minimum order
| Plan | Price | Live products | Order minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 3 | None, higher base price per item |
| Self-Service VIP | $59/mo | 200 | None, lowest base prices |
| Done-For-You VIP | $105/mo | 250 | None, full white-glove service |
None of the three plans require a minimum order quantity on any product. The plan fee covers how many designs you can keep live at once and how low your base price runs, not a purchase floor. You set your own retail price and keep the difference between what you charge and the base price, with a default recommended profit of $10 per item.
Is no minimum apparel good for a real business?
Yes, and for most small operations it is the better default, not a compromise. A gym, a construction crew, a new company, or a one-person online store rarely knows in advance exactly how many mediums versus larges it needs, or whether black or heather gray will actually sell. Committing to a 48-piece minimum locks in a guess. No-minimum ordering lets the actual buyer pick their size and color at checkout, so nothing gets printed that will not sell.
The tradeoff is per-piece cost: bulk wholesale runs can sometimes beat no-minimum pricing at very high volume (500+ identical pieces), but only if every piece actually sells. For anything under a few hundred units, or for products that need size and color variety, no minimum wins on both cost and risk.
