A plain logo tee is easy to sell once. A shirt with a supporter's own name, a team roster on the back, or a tribute to someone specific sells at a higher price and gets requested again the following year. Because every Bear Grips order prints individually, adding a name or number costs nothing extra beyond the base price of the item, which makes personalization one of the easiest upgrades a fundraiser can offer.

Why Personalization Sells at a Higher Price

A generic shirt is a commodity: any buyer can compare it to a plain tee at a retail store. A shirt with a name, number, or tribute on it has no substitute anywhere else. That uniqueness is why personalized items routinely support $5 to $10 more in retail price than the same design without a name.

Running the Order Process for Personalized Shirts

Because each item is printed individually, a roster or name field is collected through the order form and applied to that single unit at print time. There is no bulk name-list upload required and no extra production step, since single-piece printing already means every order is a custom job.

Pricing Personalized Items

Frequently Asked Questions

Does adding a name cost extra to print?

No additional setup fee applies. Every order prints individually, so a name or number is simply part of that unit's design at the time it is ordered.

Can we list an entire team or club roster on one shirt?

Yes. A roster design with every member's name is a common and popular format for team, club, and class fundraiser shirts.

What if a supporter misspells a name on their order?

Review submitted orders before they are sent to print when possible, and correct any errors directly with the buyer before the order is finalized.

Is personalization worth the added complexity for a small fundraiser?

For most groups, yes. The higher price a personalized item supports usually more than covers the small amount of extra coordination needed to collect names.
