Product: Expanding Canopy Umbrella

Umbrella Project Features

Purbeck Ice Cream selected the expanding canopy umbrella to leverage the sleek, slimline features of a walking umbrella while also enjoying the benefits of an extended canopy. This design choice not only provides a larger branding estate but also offers extra coverage for the user, making it both practical and visually appealing.

The skyline umbrella includes an expanding canopy presents a fantastic opportunity for showcasing unique designs on larger panels. Purbeck Ice Cream’s distinctive design features a charming countryside skyline, complete with silhouettes of trees, rolling hills, and tractors set against a warm yellow sky. This picturesque scene spans most of the umbrella’s panels, creating a visually striking and memorable impression.

The skyline umbrella’s panels are vented, which enhances its durability and wind resistance. Each panel is meticulously printed before being sewn onto robust fibreglass ribs, ensuring a sturdy and long-lasting structure. The entire production process undergoes rigorous quality checks to guarantee that the artwork is consistently matched at every stage, maintaining the high standards of Purbeck Ice Cream’s branding.

Umbrella personalisation options

To further personalise this City Walker umbrella, other options include handle ring engraving and digital print on both the inside and outside of the umbrella panels.

Each umbrella model includes customisation options to suit your budget or lead time. It maybe you need an umbrella quickly and therefore we’ll offer you a UK printed umbrella which we can turn around within 2-3 weeks. Customisation options are limited to a logo print on a UK manufactured umbrella, but if you have a slightly longer lead time then we can create a more bespoke umbrella, as with this purple umbrella for Air Studios.

More premium bespoke umbrella customisation options include engraved handle rings, and umbrella carry cases. Both are great ways to include subtle branding. Personalised umbrella carry cases work well. For example, customising umbrella carry cases with a company logo. By doing this, the brand presence is evident, even when the umbrella is closed and being transported.
Another way to reinforce branding, is with printed and woven labels for umbrellas. These are great way to reinforce the presence of the brand logo for subtle branding, or message.

Along with customised branded umbrellas, we also manufacture bespoke bags. Find out more about our bags and complete your branded portfolio of merchandise with branded metalwork, drinkware and much more.
