How Pricing Works

1

Base Price

Your all-inclusive cost per item. Covers printing, packing, and free shipping to your customer. Nothing else to pay.

2

Your Retail Price

You set any price you want above the base. We recommend base + $10-15 per item. No restrictions on pricing — you're in control.

3

Your Profit

The difference is yours. 100% of the markup goes to you. We never take a cut of your profit — just the base cost per order.

Still Pricing Out a Local Print Shop?

Most businesses start by calling a local printer. Here's why that math doesn't work for branded merch.

Local Print Shop

  • 50-100 piece minimums — per design, per color
  • $750-$2,000+ upfront — before selling a single item
  • Stuck with inventory — unsold boxes in your back room
  • Limited selection — 1-2 product types, limited colors
  • You ship it — packing and mailing is on you
  • Never updated — same products year after year

Bear Grips Pro Shops

  • No minimums — sell 1 item at a time
  • $0 to start — pay only when customers order
  • Zero inventory — printed on demand, shipped direct
  • 100+ premium products — from Nike, Champion, Bella+Canvas, and more
  • Free shipping included — on every order, always

Frequently Asked Questions

How much profit can I make selling custom apparel?

It depends on your retail price and plan. On the Free plan, a basic tee has a base cost of $23.93 — sell it for $34.99 and you keep $11.06 per sale. On VIP ($59/mo), the same tee costs $19.88 — sell at $34.99 and you keep $15.11. VIP pays for itself after just 15 sales per month.

What is the base price?

The base price is your all-inclusive cost per item. It covers printing, packing, and free shipping to your customer. You set any retail price above the base — the difference is your profit. VIP plans unlock lower base prices, saving you $4–$11 per item.

Is VIP worth it compared to the Free plan?

VIP ($59/mo) saves you $4–$11 per item on base prices. If you sell 10+ items per month, VIP pays for itself and increases your profit margins. The more you sell, the more you save. Use the calculator above to see exactly how much you'd save.

How does this compare to a local print shop?

Local print shops typically require 50-100 piece minimums per design, thousands of dollars upfront, and you handle shipping yourself. With Bear Grips, there are no minimums, no inventory, and free shipping is included on every order. You only pay the base price when a customer orders.

Can I earn even more with the affiliate program?

Yes. Every account gets a built-in affiliate link. Refer other businesses and earn 10% of their subscription fee forever, plus $1 for every unit they sell. It's passive income on top of your merch profits — and it costs you nothing to participate.
