Frequently Asked Questions

Once you have picked a Next Level fabric and style, the next decision is how to place your logo or design on it. Because print color count and design elements are unlimited at no extra cost in the Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog, the placement choice comes down to what reads best on the specific fabric, not what is cheapest to print.

Common Logo Placements on Next Level Tees

Left chest only. Clean, professional, works on any of the three fabrics.
Left chest plus full back. Adds a larger back graphic, popular for teams, events, and gyms.
Full front, centered. Best for a bold single graphic or wordmark design.
Sleeve print. A small tagline or year, works well on the crew tee styles.

Matching Your Design to the Right Fabric

Because triblend is always heathered, not solid, fine detailed line art can lose some crispness against the marbled texture. Bold, simple logos hold up best on triblend. Cotton and CVC give a smoother, more solid print surface, which handles detailed multi-color designs more cleanly.

No Extra Cost for Color Count or Placement

Unlike some print shops that charge more per additional print color, the Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog includes unlimited design elements and colors in the base price. A three-color logo on the chest plus a separate back graphic costs the same as a single-color wordmark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does adding more colors to my logo cost extra?

No. Design elements and print colors are unlimited at no additional charge.

Can I print on both the front and back of the same shirt?

Yes. Left chest plus full back is one of the most common layouts across the catalog.

Will my detailed logo look good on triblend?

Very fine detail can lose some crispness against triblend's heathered texture. For maximum detail, cotton or CVC gives a smoother print surface.

Do I need a minimum order to print my custom logo?

No. A single custom tee prints the same as a large order, with no minimum.
