Bear Grips Pro ShopsYouTuber Merch with No Minimum Order or Inventory Requirement
- YouTuber merch ships one piece at a time with no minimum order requirement.
- No setup fee, no bulk commitment, no boxes of inventory in a closet.
- Per-piece price is the same whether one subscriber buys or one hundred do.
- Free shipping applies to every order regardless of size.
Bulk screen printing is the wrong tool for channel merch. A screen printer wants 24 or more pieces per design and charges a setup fee per color, which means a creator has to guess sizes, colors, and demand before a single subscriber has seen the design. Print-on-demand removes the guess entirely. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints a single piece at the same per-piece price as a hundred, with no setup fee and nothing sitting in a garage waiting to sell.
Why bulk orders never fit channel merch
A channel cannot know in advance which size mix subscribers will order, whether black or heather gray sells better, or whether a design lands at all. Three ways bulk orders go wrong for creators:
- Wrong sizes: 24 mediums ordered, subscribers want large and extra large, half the run sits unsold
- Wrong color: no way to test black versus a lighter colorway without committing to both in bulk
- Wrong design: a graphic the creator loves but subscribers do not buy turns into channel giveaways for two years
How the no-minimum pricing works
| Order size | Per-piece base | Setup fee | Free shipping |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tee | $19.88 | $0 | Yes |
| 10 tees | $19.88 | $0 | Yes |
| 100 tees | $19.88 | $0 | Yes |
The same flat pricing carries across the full catalog: hoodies, hats, joggers, and leggings. Base price does not move with volume, and shipping is always free.

Three workflows only work once the minimum order is gone:
- Parallel design testing: launch two or three tee graphics at once, watch which one subscribers actually buy, retire the rest
- Limited drops: run a one-off design tied to a milestone video or anniversary without inventory left over after the moment passes
- Per-subscriber customization: let a subscriber add their own name or a fan number at checkout
When a bigger order still makes sense
No minimum does not mean bulk is off the table. Some moments still call for a larger order:
- A meetup or convention appearance where the creator wants stock on hand to hand out
- A giveaway tied to a subscriber milestone
- A pre-order campaign where the creator collects interest first, then orders the batch
The per-piece price stays identical whether it is one tee or a hundred, so there is no volume penalty for staying small and no discount for going big.
Print One Piece at a Time
No minimum, no setup fee, no boxes of inventory. Same per-piece price whether one subscriber buys or one hundred.
Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is there a setup fee for a new design?
No. There is no screen fee, no plate fee, and no minimum order. The per-piece price covers print, shipping, and the platform.
Can each subscriber pick a different size or color?
Yes. Every subscriber checks out individually and picks their own size and color from whatever the creator makes available.
Does a multi-color design cost more per piece?
No. Designs can use unlimited colors at the same flat per-piece price.
How does this compare to selling through YouTube own merch shelf?
The merch shelf surfaces products under a video but has its own eligibility rules. A standalone shop has no subscriber requirement and no minimum, and can run alongside a merch shelf once a channel qualifies for one.
