Corporate Swag With No Minimum Order: How It Actually Works

Can you get custom corporate swag with no minimum order?

Yes. The true minimum order at The Bear Bar is one unit, with no setup fees and no minimum quantity. Because everything is 3D printed, there are no screens, plates, or molds to pay off before the first piece, so a single branded keychain costs the same to start as a batch of 500. Volume only lowers the per-unit price.

The Bear Bar is a custom 3D-printed swag company in Roseville, California, making products in the USA for tech companies, startups, SaaS teams, recruiters, and event organizers.

Why 3D printing removes the minimum

Traditional swag carries minimums because of setup costs. Screen printing, embroidery, and injection molding all require tooling or setup that only makes financial sense when spread across hundreds of units. 3D printing has no per-run tooling. The printer reads a file and produces the object, whether that is one piece or one hundred.

That changes what a small order looks like:

  • One prototype before a bigger run
  • A single custom gift for a specific client or new hire
  • A short set of booth giveaways for one event
  • A one-off mascot or hero installation

What you can actually order

Everything The Bear Bar makes is 3D printed. That includes:

  • Branded keychains and NFC tags
  • Desk figurines and custom mascots
  • Lightboxes and poker chips
  • Dominoes, phone stands, and puzzles
  • Large hero installations up to 6 feet tall

The Bear Bar does not make apparel, paper goods, embroidery, or anything fabric. If your project needs a printed shirt or a booklet, this is not the right shop. If it needs a physical branded object, it is.

Prints use PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and multi-color filament, chosen to fit the product and how it will be handled.

How the process works

Every project follows the same path before anything is printed:

  1. You send your logo and describe what you want.
  2. The Bear Bar sends back a mockup, a timeline, and pricing.
  3. You approve it.
  4. Payment is made 100% upfront, invoiced through QuickBooks by credit card or ACH.
  5. The order is printed and shipped.

Payment is upfront because materials are bought per project. Nothing prints until you have signed off on the mockup, timeline, and price, so there are no surprises on either side.

What to send for your logo

Vector files work best: SVG, AI, EPS, or PDF. A transparent PNG also works. If all you have is a screenshot, The Bear Bar can trace it into a usable file.

Shipping and pricing notes

US shipping is the standard. International orders are quoted case by case. Since there is no setup fee and no minimum, the price you see on the quote reflects the actual units you order, and ordering more brings the per-unit cost down.

The short version

  • Minimum order: one unit
  • Setup fees: none
  • Mockup and quote: provided before you commit
  • Made in the USA, shipped from Roseville, California

If you have a logo and an idea, you can get a free mockup and quote through the site before spending anything. Send over what you have and see the piece before it prints.

Are there setup fees?

No. Because everything is 3D printed, there are no screens, plates, or molds, so there are no setup or tooling fees.
