Dispensary Apparel Wholesale: No 24-Piece Minimum, No Setup Fee

Dispensary apparel wholesale traditionally means 24-piece or 48-piece minimums per design plus a screen-printer setup fee per color. That model breaks for small dispensaries and slows down multi-location operators who need fast reorders. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints dispensary apparel without a wholesale minimum and without per-design setup fees. Order 6 tees or 600 at the same per-piece rate.

Why the Traditional Wholesale Model Breaks

Local screen printers and wholesale POD vendors are built for one transaction pattern: one design, big run.

• 24 or 48-piece minimums per design: If you need 6 staff polos in one design and 10 customer tees in another, you cannot meet the floor.
• Setup fees per color: A 3-color logo carries 3 setup fees, often $30 to $80 each.
• Reorder pain: Reorders smaller than the minimum require re-setup. Costs more per piece than the original run.
• Inventory risk: To hit minimums, dispensaries over-order and sit on unsold pieces.

How a No-Minimum Wholesale Model Works

Pro Shops prints on demand. Every piece is its own production run.

• No piece minimum: 6 tees or 60 tees, same per-piece rate.
• No setup fees: Multi-color logos print at the same rate as one-color.
• Reorders match originals: A 4-piece reorder of last month's design costs the same per piece as last month's 40-piece order.
• Zero inventory: Production runs after the order, not before. Nothing sits unsold.

Multi-Location Dispensary Apparel at Scale

Two approaches work for multi-location operators.

• One master shop: Central brand link with location-specific sub-sections (Denver staff, Boulder staff, COO crew). Cleanest for a unified brand.
• One shop per location: Each store runs its own Pro Shops link. Location-specific customer merch, regional designs, local pride pieces.

Either model carries no minimum. A new location can launch its apparel program same-day.

Wholesale Apparel Math Without the Floor

Use case	Pieces ordered	Traditional wholesale	Pro Shops no-min
4 staff polos, 1 location	4	Cannot order (under floor)	$140 (4 x $34.88)
10 customer tees test drop	10	Cannot order (under floor)	$199 (10 x $19.88)
20 hoodies, multi-loc	20	$760 + $80 setup	$738 (20 x $36.88), no setup
50 mixed staff and customer	50	$1,250 + setup if multi-design	$1,250+, no setup, mix any designs

The no-minimum model wins on small runs and ties or beats wholesale on larger mixed-design runs.

Run Different Designs Per Location at the Same Rate

Traditional wholesale charges per design. Pro Shops does not.

• Denver shop: Mountain-themed customer tee.
• Boulder shop: Trailhead-themed customer hoodie.
• Phoenix shop: Desert-themed snapback.

Each design is its own product in the shop. Each one runs at the catalog per-piece rate. No multi-design surcharge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a true wholesale rate at higher volumes?

The per-piece rate is the same whether you order 6 or 600. There is no separate bulk tier, but there are also no setup fees, design fees, or minimums to clear.

Can we run different designs at each location?

Yes. Each location can have its own design or its own shop link. No per-design surcharge.

How fast do bulk reorders ship?

About a week from order to delivery on most catalog items. Larger orders (200+) may add a few days.

Do you offer net-30 terms for established multi-loc operators?

Standard accounts run prepaid. Larger multi-location operators can request a custom account through support.
