Custom branding options are vast
When it comes to creating branded merchandise that truly stands out, the ability to design your promotional umbrella from the ground up offers unparalleled opportunities. At Umbrella Workshop, we don’t just print logos; we craft bespoke umbrellas tailored precisely to your specifications, utilising a wide array of advanced printing methods and customisation techniques. With decades of collective experience in the umbrella industry, our dedicated team is perfectly placed to guide you through every step, advising on the best models, print options, and bespoke features to perfectly showcase your unique brand or design. We’re committed to using only quality materials and fabric, ensuring your promotional umbrella is not only eye-catching but also built to last, offering enduring brand exposure and practical utility.
The power to design your promotional umbrella lies in the breadth of customisation options available. This goes far beyond simply adding a logo; it’s about creating a cohesive, high-quality representation of your brand that resonates with your audience.
Pantone Matching: Achieving perfect brand consistency is paramount. We can precisely Pantone match the umbrella fabric to your exact brand colours, ensuring your promotional umbrella aligns seamlessly with your existing corporate identity. This meticulous colour matching is crucial for maintaining brand integrity across all your marketing materials.
Digital Printing: For intricate designs, gradients, or full-colour photographic imagery, digital printing is the ideal method. It allows for crisp, vibrant results and complex artwork to be faithfully reproduced across the umbrella’s canopy. Whether it’s a detailed product shot or a nuanced graphic, digital print ensures your design makes a striking visual impact.
All Over Print: Maximise your brand’s visibility with an all over print on umbrella. This technique extends your design across every panel of the canopy, creating a seamless and immersive visual statement when the umbrella is open. It’s a powerful way to make your promotional umbrella truly unforgettable.
Double Canopy Printing: For added intrigue and impact, consider a double canopy umbrella with distinct designs on the inside and outside. This allows you to surprise your audience with a ‘hidden’ message or a different aesthetic once the umbrella is opened, adding depth and a unique reveal to your branding.
Internal Map Printing: A particularly innovative and practical customisation is printed maps on umbrellas, often applied to the inner canopy. This unique choice is highly popular with property developers, estate agents, and hotel clients, transforming the umbrella into an interactive and highly useful guide.
To truly design your promotional umbrella with distinction, attention to the smaller, premium details makes all the difference:
Custom Umbrella Handles: The handle is the primary point of physical interaction, making custom umbrella handles a key area for enhancement. We offer a variety of materials (wood, metal, rubberised finishes) and customisation techniques like engraving, debossing, or bespoke moulding. For orders over 500 pieces, we can even Pantone match handle materials and create unique shapes, ensuring your umbrella feels as good as it looks.
Engraved Handle Rings: For an added touch of luxury and exclusivity, engraved handle rings on umbrellas offer a subtle yet powerful branding opportunity. Laser-engraved logos or wording on metal handle rings provide a permanent, high-end finish that sets your umbrella apart from standard promotional items.
Personalised Umbrella Tie Wraps: Even the humble tie wrap can become a branding asset. Personalised umbrella tie wraps can be printed with an excerpt of your canopy design for seamless continuation or embroidered with a logo or URL for a premium, tactile finish. This ensures your brand is visible even when the umbrella is neatly closed.
Woven Labels: For a sophisticated and durable touch, woven labels on umbrellas or their sleeves provide a premium customisation option. These finely crafted labels can feature your logo, a slogan, or even product information, adding a mark of quality and attention to detail.
Customised Shafts, Rib Tape & Poppers: We can tailor the colour of the umbrella shaft, incorporate custom-coloured perimeter or rib tape for visual flair, and even Pantone match, print, or engrave the metal or plastic poppers on the tie wrap for complete brand integration.
Personalised Umbrella Carry Cases: Extend your brand presence even when the umbrella is stored with a customised umbrella carry case. Ideal for golf or sports umbrellas, these cases can feature your logo, ensuring brand visibility even when the umbrella is being transported.
At Umbrella Workshop, we don’t just offer extensive customisation; we guarantee premium quality. All our umbrellas come with a 2-year guarantee as standard, assuring you that your promotional umbrella is built to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting brand exposure. We manufacture a comprehensive range of models, including robust golf umbrellas, elegant walking umbrellas, and convenient folding umbrellas, ensuring we have the perfect canvas for your unique design.
Your promotional merchandise should be as distinctive as your brand. By choosing to design your promotional umbrella with us, you’re not just creating an item; you’re crafting an experience that reflects quality, innovation, and attention to detail.
Think about how you want your promotional umbrella to look; what it is going to be used for (e.g event, give-away, advertising); and the type / colour of the handle.
Think about your logo and branding message. How many colours do you want to include? Do you want to colour match your umbrella canopy?
Think about the overall effect you want. How many panels do you want to have your brand on? Most umbrellas have 8 panels. A double canopy allows your message to be displayed inside and out.
Design options such as perimeter or rib tape, a printed tie wrap or a printed sleeve with a handle are available.
We have designed and manufactured thousands of umbrellas for brand holders and agencies, and give our clients guidance and assistance as to what works and what doesn’t.
Our team would be delighted to guide you in umbrella design options.
We have an artwork team that can provide photo realistic images of your umbrella design to help with signoff for team or client.
