Bear Grips Pro Shops has no minimum order on any yoga studio shirt. A studio can print one tee for a new teacher's first class, or fifty tanks for a workshop launch, and the per-unit base price is the same. This removes the single biggest barrier to a small studio running a merch program: the bulk pre-order. Here is how the model works and why it changes what a small studio can offer.
Traditional studio merch goes through a bulk printer with a 12-shirt or 24-shirt minimum per design. The studio prepays for 12 small tanks and ends up with eight extra-smalls in the back room when only four students bought. The Pro Shops model removes this entirely. Each shirt is printed when a student orders it. There is no leftover stock, no upfront payment, and no minimum quantity.
Real cases where studios use no-minimum ordering:
The all-inclusive base price covers the blank, the print, packing, and free US shipping. There is no inventory holding cost, no warehouse footprint, and no order setup fee. Per-unit cost stays competitive with small-bulk orders (10 to 30 units) at most local print shops.
VIP base prices for typical yoga studio shirts:
Bulk screen-printing is still cheaper per unit on very large identical orders (100+ units of the exact same design and color) where every shirt is guaranteed to sell. For studio merch programs, this profile rarely applies. Studios typically run multiple designs, multiple colors, and unpredictable per-design sales.
The studio signs up free, uploads the studio logo, picks the products, and sets retail prices. The shop URL is shared with students. Each student orders their own size; the studio earns margin on every order with no inventory. See studio merch shop setup.
Sign up free. Print one shirt or fifty at the same per-unit price. Students order in their own size; shirts arrive at their door.
Start FreeNo. The base price for each shirt already includes everything (blank, print, packing, shipping). There is no per-design setup fee.
About 7 days from order to delivery in most US zip codes. Workshop drops should be ordered 10 days before the workshop date.
Yes. The shop supports collections and time-limited product visibility. Run a 7-day flash drop, then take the product offline. Each ordered shirt still prints and ships normally.
Students never see "minimum order" anywhere in the checkout flow. They pick size, color, and quantity, and the shirt ships. The no-minimum behavior is invisible to them.
