Printed umbrellas are an incredible advertising tool for businesses. Not only are they very functional items (especially during the rainy season), but they’re also carried around everywhere which makes them a great advertising medium. Umbrellas can be used all year round, to protect you from the rain and the sun. Smart companies make use of the wide printing surface on the umbrellas' panels to print logos or advertising/branding messages. Customizing umbrellas allow brands to reach large target audiences and thereby increase their visibility. As a result, customized umbrellas play a significant role as moving advertisement to promote companies' brand.

Below, we will guide you in preparing to print your customized umbrellas.

Designing and Configuring your Umbrellas

Our umbrellas are printed through a process called silkscreen printing, which is the same process that is used for non-woven bags for example. You can configure your umbrellas in accordance to your preference based on a variety of options available on the website. Each available option is explained through a short description and and diagrams for each option in our configurator’s dropdown menus.

As with all promotional items, you always have to bear in mind the maximum dimensions of the printable area before placing your order. Always make sure that the dimensions of the design that you send is do not exceed the dimensions of the printing area. Please also note that the maximum printable area also depends on the type of umbrella that you wish to order. You can find the dimensions for each umbrella type in the large pop-up image accessible in the dropdown menus.

The dimensions will be provided in the following format:

ARTWORK INSTRUCTIONS
Kindly take note on the below requirements before submitting your artwork to us.

  • All fonts must be outlined (converted to curves, so that it cannot be edited by typing)
