Most pressure washing business owners who search for custom shirts run into the same wall: local shops and traditional screen printers want a minimum order of 12, 24, or even 50 pieces before they will run your logo. That works fine for a five-truck operation restocking every crew member at once. It does not work for a two-person outfit that just hired its first helper, or an owner who wants to try one design before committing. Bear Grips Pro Shops flips the model: single-piece printing at the same base price whether you order one shirt or a hundred.

Why Traditional Print Shops Require Minimums

Screen printing and embroidery both carry setup costs: burning a screen, digitizing a logo, loading the press. A traditional shop spreads that setup cost across the order, so a 24-piece minimum keeps their per-shirt price reasonable. The tradeoff lands on the buyer: pay upfront for shirts you may not need yet, guess sizes for a crew that has not been hired, and store the extras in a closet.

How Single-Piece Printing Works Instead

Bear Grips Pro Shops prints each order individually, on demand, after the customer or crew member checks out. There is no screen to burn per order and no batch to run, so the price per shirt does not change whether one person orders or fifty do. Practically, that means:

Cost Comparison: Bulk Order vs No-Minimum Shop

ApproachUpfront costTurnaroundLeftover risk

Bear Grips Pro Shops, no minimum$0 (free plan) or $59/mo (VIP)About a week per orderNone, printed to order

The no-minimum model costs more per single piece than a bulk discount would, but it removes the two biggest risks for a growing pressure washing company: guessing volume and guessing sizes.

Setting Up a No-Minimum Pressure Washing Shop

  1. Sign up free (3 live products) or Self-Service VIP ($59/mo, 200 products) at the pressure washing shop page.
  2. Upload your logo once. It applies to every product you list.
  3. Pick your starter lineup: performance tee, long sleeve, polo, hoodie, hat.
  4. Set your retail price. You keep the margin above the base cost.
  5. Send the link to your crew or post it under your before-and-after content.

Where the Shirts Actually Come From

Every product runs on established blank apparel brands: Bella+Canvas, Sport-Tek, Gildan, Next Level, Champion, Yupoong, and others, printed to order in the USA and shipped free to whoever placed the order, crew member or customer. See the full fabric breakdown for which blank fits which job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there really no minimum order?

Correct. One shirt is priced the same per piece as a large order. There is no order-size threshold to unlock the base price.

How much does it cost to get started?

The free plan is $0/mo with 3 live products at a slightly higher base price per item. Self-Service VIP is $59/mo with 200 products at the lowest base prices.

Can I reorder the same design later?

Yes. Your logo and listed products stay in the shop. Reordering is the same process as the first order, any time, any quantity.

What if I only need a few shirts right now?

That is exactly what the no-minimum model is built for. Order two or three shirts today and order more next month as you hire.
