Offering plus size apparel through a traditional bulk order means guessing the size curve months before a single sale happens. Order too many 3XL pieces and they sit unsold. Order too few and a customer cannot find their size on launch day. Print on demand removes that guess entirely: each size only prints once a specific buyer orders it.
Bulk apparel orders require committing to a size breakdown before any sales data exists. Many small brands respond by ordering a narrow size range (typically S through XL) to limit risk, which quietly excludes plus size customers from the very first order. That decision is usually about inventory risk, not demand.
Most tees and hoodies in the Bear Grips catalog run a standard adult range up through 3XL, though the exact top size varies by specific product and cut. Before finalizing a design for a plus size audience, check the individual product listing for its size chart rather than assuming every style tops out at the same size.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Because production happens per order, a size-inclusive shop does not need to guess how many 2XL versus medium pieces will sell in the first month. Every size prints identically on demand, so a vendor can offer the full size run from day one without carrying the financial risk of an uneven size curve.
| Consideration | How it works |
|---|---|
| Base price | One listed base price per product, covering the standard size run offered |
| Extended sizes | Check the specific product listing for any surcharge on the largest sizes before setting retail |
| Retail price | Vendor sets one retail price or can tier pricing by size if the platform allows |
State the size range directly in the product description and in launch posts rather than making a customer dig for it. A shop that leads with "sizes XS through 3XL" in the caption converts better than one that leaves size range as a question mark. Pair a size-inclusive tee with the youth lineup for a shop that spans an entire family or team roster.
No minimum order means every size prints only when a customer buys it. Free to start.
