Black Umbrellas for Corporate Gifting, Events and Branding

Looking for high-quality black umbrellas you can brand with your logo? We manufacture premium black umbrellas for corporate gifting, events, hospitality and VIP clients. Choose from city walkers, golf umbrellas or custom folding umbrellas in deep black, then add subtle branding such as engraving, internal canopy print or Pantone-matched details. Ideal when you need something smarter than a giveaway, and more memorable than a standard promo item.

Why choose a black umbrella for branding

A well made black umbrella feels premium, gets used in real life, and puts your logo in someone’s hand for years. It works for client gifting, events, hotels, property launches, members clubs, finance and tech. Black also photographs well and suits formal environments, so it can sit in a boardroom, concierge desk or VIP welcome pack without looking like promo merch.

Custom umbrella options

You can keep the outside clean and place the branding inside the canopy, or print a single bold logo on one panel. You can go tone on tone for something subtle, or use a high contrast white print for something louder. We also offer engraving on handle rings, Pantone matched internal canopies, woven or printed labels, and printed or embroidered tie wraps. All of those subtle umbrella branding details make the umbrella feel more like a gift than a giveaway.

Umbrella models available in black

We supply black City Walker umbrella for city use, compact folding umbrellas for travel, and large vented golf umbrellas for outdoor coverage. Each model can be produced in deep black with your branding placed the way you want it. If you need samples or want us to recommend the right style for your audience, we can do that.

Umbrella lead time, print and delivery

Fast UK print on stocked black canopies is typically 2 to 3 weeks from artwork sign off. More complex builds with internal print, matched seams and custom details are usually 5 to 7 weeks. Typical starting order is from 50 units, depending on the model. We can also discuss fulfilment if you are sending these as gifts to individual clients or team members.

FAQs: Branded Black Umbrellas

Can you print our logo on a black umbrella without it looking cheap?
Yes. We can do subtle tone-on-tone print, single-panel logo print, or internal canopy print so the outside stays plain and less ‘promotional.’ We also offer engraved handle rings and branded tie wraps for a more premium look.

What’s the typical turnaround time for printing an umbrella?
For stock black canopies printed in the UK, it’s usually around 2–3 weeks from artwork approval. Fully custom builds (e.g. printed inside and out, Pantone matched interior, custom hardware) take longer.

What’s the minimum order?
Our black umbrellas start from around 50 units, depending on the model (city walker, folding, golf, etc.). Tell us what you need them for, gifting, retail, event use, and we’ll point you at the right option.

Do you supply travel-size / folding black umbrellas as well as full-size?
Yes. We supply compact folding umbrellas that come with a matching sleeve, mid-size city walking umbrellas for everyday use, and large vented golf umbrellas for outdoor coverage. All can be produced in deep black with your branding.

Can you ship them directly to our clients / staff?
We can handle fulfilment and distribution on request. If you’re planning a client gift drop, onboarding packs, event VIP sets, etc., let us know and we’ll advise what’s realistic based on quantity and timeline.

Can you make a true ‘Vantablack umbrella’?
Vantablack is a specialist light-absorbing coating, not a standard umbrella fabric, so it isn’t practical for everyday use in the rain. What we do instead is create ultra-dark matte black umbrellas with minimal hardware, discreet branding and deep black canopies to achieve that same dramatic effect.
