Bear Grips Pro ShopsHybrid Athlete Bulk Team Orders
- Bulk orders are handled the same way as single orders: no setup fee, no minimum, no maximum.
- Same per-piece price for 1 piece or 100 pieces on the same plan.
- Common bulk uses: event-day team kits, coaching cohort launches, club anniversary drops.
- Coordinated through the same shop or as direct bulk orders off-shop.
Hybrid athlete bulk team orders work the same way as single-piece orders on Bear Grips Pro Shops. No setup fee for volume, no minimum, no separate wholesale tier. Whether you order 1 piece or 100 of the same design, the per-piece price stays the same at your plan's base rate. Here is how bulk fits into a hybrid club ordering pattern.
Why Bulk Pricing Works the Same as Single-Piece
The Bear Grips Pro Shops model uses print-on-demand fulfillment. Each piece prints individually at order time, even when 50 of them go through at once. There is no economy-of-scale price drop at higher quantities because the cost structure does not change.
The benefit: a single-piece order on the club shop pays exactly the same per-piece price as a bulk order. Base cost is the same whether one member orders a tee in week one or your event team places a 30-piece walkout order in week six.
The trade-off: this model does not get cheaper per piece at higher volumes the way a traditional screen printer with 144-piece minimums does. For most clubs, the trade-off is worth it because the no-minimum flexibility makes single-piece ordering possible at all.
Common Bulk Order Situations
- HYROX or hybrid event team kit. A team of 12 to 30 competitors needs the same walkout shirt for an event. Order placed 2 to 3 weeks before event day.
- New coaching cohort launch. A coach launches a new 12-week program with 40 athletes. Each athlete receives a cohort-branded tee as part of the program package.
- Club anniversary or milestone drop. A 60-piece anniversary tee for the club's 5-year mark. Distributed to active members and offered to alumni members.
- Sponsor or partnership drops. A co-branded shirt with a partner brand, sponsor, or event organizer. 50 to 200 pieces typical.
- Bulk gift orders. 30 to 60 tees for trial-class kickoffs, new-member onboarding gifts, or coach-to-client gifts.
Bulk Order Logistics
Two ways to handle bulk orders:
- Through the public shop. The bulk design is listed as a regular product. Each team member or supporter buys their own piece direct. Club earns standard margin on each sale.
- Direct bulk order on the club account. Coach or owner places one large order on the dashboard with all sizes specified. Ships to single address (club or event venue) or splits to individual addresses.
For order sizes above 100 pieces of one design, contact support to coordinate fulfillment timing.
Bulk vs Traditional Screen Printer Comparison
| Factor | Traditional Screen Printer | Bear Grips Pro Shops |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | Typically 24 to 48 pieces | 1 piece, scales to any quantity |
| Setup fee | $25 to $80 per design per color | Included in per-piece price |
| Per-piece price at 50 units | Lower than POD at this scale | Same as single-piece base |
| Lead time | 2 to 4 weeks typical | About 1 week |
| Reorder ease | New batch cycle | Already in shop, instant reorder |
Traditional screen printer wins on per-piece cost for runs of 100+ same-design pieces. Bear Grips Pro Shops wins on lead time, flexibility, and the ability to keep the design available year-round through the club shop.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Do you offer wholesale pricing for orders over 100 pieces?
Base price stays the same regardless of order size. Savings come from upgrading to VIP plans, which lower base prices by $4 to $11 per piece compared to free plan.
Can a bulk order ship to multiple addresses?
Yes. Each piece in an order can ship to a different address if needed. For event teams, this lets you ship to each competitor's home rather than the club address.
How long does a 50-piece bulk order take?
About a week, same as single-piece orders. For very large runs (200+ pieces of one design), add a few days of buffer.
Can I get a bulk discount if I commit to recurring orders?
The plan structure handles this. Upgrading from free to Self-Service VIP ($59/mo) saves $4 to $11 per piece on every order. Most cost-effective way to lower per-piece costs across recurring runs.
