A custom embroidered shirt search usually means one of two things: someone wants a stitched logo on fabric that stretches with wear, or someone is using "embroidered" loosely to mean any custom logo shirt. At Bear Grips, tees are printed with your logo rather than embroidered. Here is why that is the better fit for a tee catalog, what it costs, and how to still land a stitched piece in the same order.

Are T-Shirts Embroidered at Bear Grips?

No. Every tee and tank in the catalog is printed. Embroidery works best on structured panels like a hat front, not the stretch knit fabric of a t-shirt, which is why the catalog handles tees, tanks, and every other apparel piece through printing instead. The full split between embroidered and printed products is in the custom embroidered apparel guide.

No Minimum, No Setup Fee, No Wholesale Tier

Whether the original search was for wholesale, personalized, or single-piece tees, pricing works the same way across the board: one tee or a hundred, same per-unit price, no setup fee, and free shipping included. Vendors set their own retail on top and keep the margin.

Custom Embroidered T-Shirts for Women: The Printed Alternative

For searchers specifically after a women's cut, the Bella+Canvas Women's Favorite Tee is the dedicated fitted option in the catalog at $19.88 VIP base, printed with the same unlimited color range as every other piece.

Add an Embroidered Hat to the Same Order

To land a stitched piece alongside a printed tee, pair the order with one of the three embroidered hats: the flat bill snapback, cuffed winter hat, or youth baseball cap. Full detail on each is in the embroidered hat product lineup.
