The traditional custom apparel model required minimum orders of 24 to 72 shirts before a screen printer would touch the job. For a solo massage therapist who needs three shirts in their own size, that minimum meant paying for 21 shirts they would never use or going without. The no-minimum model eliminates that math entirely. Here is what it means for independent MTs, small spas, and clinics ordering custom branded apparel today.
The minimum order requirement was never designed for the needs of solo practitioners. It was designed for promotional businesses ordering thousands of event shirts, sports teams ordering for a full roster, or brands running large production runs.
For a massage therapist, the relevant order sizes are:
Bear Grips Pro Shops processes every order at any quantity. One shirt is treated identically to 100 shirts in terms of quality, print process, and shipping. The price does not scale with quantity on the per-unit side: each shirt is printed at the same cost regardless of how many are in the order. This is the core benefit of the print-on-demand model for small businesses.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The ordering process through Bear Grips Pro Shops is straightforward:
For spas and clinics wanting to outfit multiple staff members: each staff member can order their own size directly through the shared shop link. They all receive their shirt shipped independently. The director does not need to collect sizes or coordinate a batch.
For solo MTs who also want to sell shirts to clients: the same shop serves both purposes. You order your personal uniforms through the shop, and clients order their merchandise through the same link. Bear Grips fulfills all orders, whether for the MT or for the client.
The base price of each shirt determines your cost as the MT ordering your own professional wear. When you sell to clients, you set a retail price above the base and earn the margin.
Sample base prices for common MT uniform items:
Free plan pricing is slightly higher than VIP. Self-Service VIP at $59/month or Done-For-You VIP at $109/month unlock the lower VIP base prices. For an MT ordering a wardrobe of five to ten shirts for personal use, the VIP plan pays back quickly in reduced per-shirt cost.
There are no setup fees, no screen-print minimum charges, and no shipping fees on any order. A single polo shirt ordered for personal professional use costs the VIP base price plus the margin you set on your own order. You can set the margin to zero for personal purchases if you want to minimize your own wardrobe cost.
