A gift that gets used in London weather
An umbrella has a big print area and people genuinely use them, so a logo gets seen on the street when it is raining. They are popular as gifts for corporate clients, hotels, golf days, sponsors and staff. A good umbrella can last for years, which makes it good value per day of advertising.

How the print works
Umbrella panels, usually eight of them, each carry your design. A typical order prints your logo on one, two or four panels. This is a cost-effective choice with a clean look. Full-colour all-over designs are also possible, but they usually need larger orders. Avoid placing small text near the seams or the edges, and ensure your logo fits within the panel's narrow triangle shape. Choose a fabric colour that gives a good contrast with your logo.
Buying something that will last
Cheap umbrellas turn inside out in the first strong gust, and that is not a good look for your brand. Fibreglass frames, windproof vents and sturdier handles cost a little more but are much more durable. If the umbrellas are going to be used by staff or clients, it is worth spending more. For giving away at a stand, a simple folding one could be enough.
Lead times and minimums
Printed umbrellas usually come with a minimum order, and they are typically made to order, which can take some weeks if there is a special colour or a full-panel print. Ask us as early as possible. Tell us your quantity, budget and date, and we will suggest the best approach. We can arrange supply and delivery to your door anywhere in the UK for a quoted charge.
Ordering
Send us your logo as a vector file where possible, along with your preferred colours. Artwork set-up is free of charge when we print, and we will show you a proof of the panel layout before production.
