Custom martial arts apparel with no minimum order means your dojo store is always open for the single purchase just as much as the bulk event. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints every shirt individually after the order is placed. There is no screen setup fee, no minimum quantity to hit before production starts, and no inventory you need to hold. One student can order one shirt and receive it at home in about a week.
Traditional screen printing requires you to collect enough orders to hit a minimum (usually 12 to 48 pieces), pay upfront, wait for production, receive a bulk shipment, and then distribute shirts to students. That process involves weeks of coordination and a financial commitment before a single shirt is sold.
No-minimum print-on-demand eliminates every step in that chain. You open the store. Students click the link. They order. Shirts arrive at their home. You do nothing after the initial setup.
The implications for how schools operate are significant. You no longer need to time shirt runs around enrollment peaks or tournament seasons. A new student who joins in April can order their school shirt immediately instead of waiting for the next bulk run in September. A parent who wants a hoodie for a cold tournament day in February can get one without triggering a whole school order cycle.
The no-minimum policy applies to every product in the Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog:
Students can mix and match. One student orders a performance tee. Another orders a hoodie and a hat. A parent orders just a hat for themselves. All three orders process simultaneously, all ship to the individual buyer, and you receive nothing in the mail and handle no distribution.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Without a minimum order requirement, the economics of running a school apparel program improve significantly:
| Factor | Traditional Bulk Order | No-Minimum POD |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cash required | $300 to $1,500+ | $0 |
| Inventory risk | High (unsold sizes) | None |
| Admin time per shirt run | 4 to 10 hours | Under 1 hour (setup only) |
| New student access | Wait for next batch | Immediate |
| Ongoing availability | Limited (sell out) | Unlimited (prints on demand) |
The unit price per shirt is higher than a large bulk screen print run (for quantities above 100 pieces), but the total cost of ownership, including time, risk, and cash tied up in inventory, typically favors POD for most school operators.
A few tactics that multiply the revenue from a no-minimum school store:
See the full income potential in our dojo merch shop setup guide.
Free setup, no minimum, US-printed. Your store is open the moment you finish setup and never closes.
Start FreeCorrect. There is no minimum order quantity. A single student ordering one shirt pays the same per-unit price as a school ordering 200 shirts for a tournament. Both orders process through the same store.
No setup fees and no per-design charges. You upload your logo or design when you set up the store, and it applies to every product you activate. There is no charge for adding or changing designs.
Every order ships free to the buyer regardless of quantity. Bear Grips Pro Shops includes shipping in the base item price. Students who order from your store receive their shirt at home with no additional shipping charge.
