Selling a custom hoodie is one of the most common print on demand searches, and for good reason: hoodies carry a higher retail price and a higher margin than almost any other product in the catalog, without requiring a minimum order to test. Bear Grips Pro Shops runs four hoodie-family products (Comfort Soft Hoodie, Champion Performance Hoodie, Classic Zip-Up Hoodie, and Youth Hoodie) at different price and audience tiers.
| Hoodie | Brand | VIP base |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort Soft Hoodie | Bear Grips | $36.88 |
| Youth Hoodie | Gildan | $36.88 |
| Classic Zip-Up Hoodie | Gildan | $41.88 |
| Unisex Champion Performance Hoodie | Champion | $45.88 |
The Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt ($34.88 VIP) is worth stocking alongside these for customers who prefer no hood at all.
The Comfort Soft Hoodie is the standard everyday pullover and the natural starting point for most shops. The Classic Zip-Up Hoodie serves customers who specifically want a front zip, often for layering over other apparel. Stocking both is common once a shop has confirmed hoodie demand, rather than choosing one at launch.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Customers accept a higher retail price on a hoodie than on a tee, which widens the gap between base cost and retail price. A Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 VIP base sold at $55 to $65 clears $18 to $28 in margin, well above the platform's default $10 recommendation and roughly double the typical tee margin. The Champion Performance Hoodie at $45.88 VIP base supports an even higher retail price given the brand recognition.
Three placements cover most hoodie designs: a center chest logo or wordmark, a smaller left-chest mark paired with a large full-back graphic, and front-and-back combination designs. There is no per-color charge or extra fee for printing on the back panel in addition to the front, so both sides can be used at no added base cost.
Because there is no minimum order, a new hoodie design can go live as a single product test rather than a bulk commitment. If it does not sell after a reasonable window, remove it and try a different design or color combination with zero unsold inventory left behind. This is the core advantage over a traditional bulk hoodie order, covered in more depth in the no-minimum comparison.
