Custom Hoodie Print on Demand: A Printful Alternative for Sellers
- Custom hoodies are usually the highest revenue item in a print-on-demand storefront once a seller moves past the first month.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops prices the Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 VIP base, up to the Champion Performance Hoodie at $45.88.
- Free US shipping is included in every hoodie base price, with no minimum order.
- A no-minimum model lets a seller test a single sample hoodie before promoting a design.
The custom hoodie is where most print-on-demand storefronts start seeing real margin. It carries a higher retail price than a tee, fans treat it as a wardrobe staple rather than an impulse buy, and the per-piece margin on a well priced hoodie routinely beats two or three tee sales combined. Here is what to look for in a hoodie print-on-demand product, and how a Printful alternative like Bear Grips Pro Shops prices the same category.
What to look for in a custom hoodie print-on-demand product
- Fabric weight: lighter mid-weight for everyday wear versus heavier premium fleece for a name-brand feel
- Print or embroidery compatibility: full front and back print support versus embroidery-only chest logos
- Base price transparency: whether shipping is included in the number or added at checkout
- Minimum order: whether a single sample can be ordered before committing to a promoted design

Print placement options that hold up on fleece
Center chest, left chest with a full back graphic, and front-and-back combination layouts all print cleanly on standard fleece. Full-color designs run at the same base price as a simple one-color logo, since digital print on demand does not charge per color.
Setting hoodie retail price for real margin
The default recommended profit on Bear Grips Pro Shops is $10 per item, though most vendors charge noticeably more on hoodies than on tees given the higher perceived value. A Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 base priced at $55 to $65 retail clears $18 to $28 in margin per piece.
Ordering a single sample hoodie before a full launch
Because there is no minimum order, a seller can order one hoodie to check fit, color, and print quality before promoting the design publicly. This is one of the clearest practical differences from a bulk screen-printed hoodie order, where a full minimum has to be committed before anyone sees a physical sample. See the Yupoong hat guide to round out a starter lineup with headwear, and the full Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog for the rest of the apparel options.
