Bear Grips Pro ShopsYoga Studio Shirts, No Minimum Order
- No minimum order on any studio shirt at Bear Grips Pro Shops.
- Print one shirt for a new teacher or fifty for a workshop launch.
- Same per-unit price whether you order one or one hundred.
- Removes the bulk pre-order problem that kills small studio merch programs.
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.
Why No Minimum Matters for Yoga Studios
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.
Single-Shirt Orders in Practice
Real cases where studios use no-minimum ordering:
- New teacher joining the staff. The studio sets up the teacher tank in their size; the teacher orders one.
- Workshop launch where the studio wants a workshop-branded tee. Students order their own size during workshop signup.
- Retreat where 8 to 12 participants want a retreat tank. Each participant orders their own.
- Student who wants a custom version of the studio tee with their own name on the back.
How Per-Unit Pricing Stays Competitive
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:
- Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee: $19.88
- Performance Workout Tank: $19.88
- Women's Mid Length Racer Tank: $29.88
- Bella+Canvas Premium Triblend Crew Tee: $23.88
- Women's Premium Triblend Racerback Tank: $25.88
When a Studio Should Still Use Bulk Print
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.
How To Set the Studio Up for No-Minimum Ordering
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.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is there a setup fee for a new design?
No. The base price for each shirt already includes everything (blank, print, packing, shipping). There is no per-design setup fee.
How long does a single shirt take to ship?
About 7 days from order to delivery in most US zip codes. Workshop drops should be ordered 10 days before the workshop date.
Can we run a flash sale on a limited-edition design?
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.
Do students see the lack of minimum?
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.
