Order One Next Level Tee Sample Before You Order for the Whole Team
Quick Answer- The real risk in a company-wide tee order is not the price, it is discovering the logo looks wrong only after fifty shirts have already shipped.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops prints Next Level tees one at a time, so a founder or office manager can order a single sample with the actual logo before the full team order goes out.
- A sample costs the same per-unit VIP base price as a full order, $23.88 to $24.88 depending on fabric, with no separate sample fee.
- Once the sample checks out, the same shop link goes out to the whole team. Nothing needs to be reprinted or reset up.
Company swag orders usually get planned around a single decision point: does the logo actually look good on the shirt. Most teams only find out after a bulk order has already shipped, printed, and arrived, at which point a bad placement or color choice is expensive to fix. Because Next Level tees print one at a time through Bear Grips Pro Shops, that decision point can happen a lot earlier and a lot cheaper.
The Hidden Risk in a Company-Wide Tee Order
A logo that looks clean on a screen can print differently on fabric: color shift on a heathered triblend, placement that sits too high or too low, a size run that does not match who is actually on the team. When the first time anyone sees the finished product is the day fifty boxes arrive, there is no room to adjust without reprinting the whole batch.
Why Single-Piece Printing Removes That Risk
Because the catalog has no minimum order, one shirt prints at the same per-unit price as a hundred. A single Next Level tee with the real logo, in the actual fabric, arrives in about a week, giving the team a chance to check placement, color, and fit before committing budget to the full order.

How to Run a Sample Order the Right Way
- Upload the final logo file to a Next Level style, not a placeholder version.
- Order one sample in the size most common on the team, not the smallest or largest.
- Check color, placement, and fabric feel against the actual logo file, not the on-screen mockup.
- Share the shop link once the sample is approved.
From Sample to Full Team Rollout
Once the sample passes muster, nothing about the setup changes for the rest of the team. Each person orders directly through the same shop link, in their own size, shipped free to their own address. There is no bulk reorder, no new proof, no separate case to open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ordering one sample cost more per shirt than a bulk order?
No. The per-unit VIP base price is the same whether one shirt or a hundred are ordered.
How long does a sample take to arrive?
About a week from order to door, the same turnaround as any other order in the catalog.
Can the design change after seeing the sample?
Yes. Update the product listing and reorder a new sample with no reprint fee or setup charge.
If one size is wrong on the sample, does the whole team order need to change?
No. Each employee orders their own size directly, so a sizing note only affects that individual's order.
