Umbrella Print Options

Photo Print Double Canopy

For this, the manufacturer prints a picture onto panels of the umbrella’s canopy. This is digital, and you are free to choose any color or picture you want. Your printed umbrella could have an individual picture on each panel. Or you can print just a single picture across the entire canopy.

The hallmark of the double canopy is uniqueness. Although double canopy umbrellas are slowly becoming more popular, it does not make them any less unique. The designs you choose are done on all eight panels of the umbrella’s canopy, inside and outside. Then they carefully put them back together to create your double canopy umbrella.

All Over Print Logo Print

This type of print involves forming an image that covers the entire canopy of the umbrella. The manufacturer plasters the image on each panel. Then each panel is hand-crafted together to form the canopy and create the image you desire. This way, the image on each panel comes out as a whole.

This is the most common type of print in brand advertising. In this print option, your brand’s logo is boldly imprinted on the canopy of your umbrellas. Each panel of the canopy will then have your logo written across it. This form of print principally gives your brand exposure and displays your brand name or logo.

Printed golf umbrellas are large umbrellas that have extrawide canopies of about 70 inches or more. Some golf umbrellas come with golf bags that make it easy to carry the umbrellas around. Some printed golf umbrellas come with single or double vented canopies to give them that extra protection against high winds. Furthermore, golf umbrellas give you the opportunity of having a wider space for your printed graphics.

Classic Umbrellas

The printed classic umbrellas are the most common types of umbrellas on the market. The classic umbrella has an ageless look. It has an arched canopy and a wooden hook handle.

The classic umbrellas are not foldable like the telescopic umbrella. Most classic umbrellas use microfiber fabric for their canopies which keep the users dry during a downpour. Umbrella manufacturers use metal or wood for their shafts to give that extra durability. Printed classic umbrellas come in a variety of sizes and colors. This gives you a lot of options to choose from. The colors and designs of the classic umbrella make the umbrella type fashionable and trendy.

Beach Umbrellas

People go to the beach for a relaxing day and to enjoy some sunshine. However, too much exposure to the sun can be harmful to the body. Printed beach umbrellas make the day at the beach a very comfortable one.

A beach umbrella has a long pole that you stick into the sand for stability. Also, it has a fairly large canopy that protects beachgoers as they lay in the sun. Most printed beach umbrellas come with the UV protection feature, protecting users from exposure to ultraviolet rays.

Some beach umbrellas allow you to adjust the canopy to whatever angle, giving you ample coverage. With beach umbrellas, you can just lay and enjoy a bright summer day.

Automatic Umbrellas

Automatic umbrellas are perfect for you if you want printed umbrellas. They are very convenient and easy to use. This is because automatic umbrellas come with a mechanism that allows you to open and even close the umbrella with one hand.

Automatic umbrellas come with a button near the bottom of the handle. All you have to do is push it to open the umbrella, and the canopy would spread and extend. To shut the umbrella, push the shaft down towards the handle.

Apart from being easy to open and shut, the automatic umbrella is also compact, making it portable. This umbrella can fit into your bag or purse. So, anywhere you go, you can be sure you would be covered.

Mini or Pocket Umbrellas

Mini umbrellas are made lightweight and portable. They are small enough to fit into your pockets. And if you happen to find yourself in an emergency where you are caught in the rain, the pocket umbrella would come in handy.

Printed mini umbrellas come in a variety of stylish designs.

Mini or pocket umbrellas do not take up too much space. The umbrella’s canopy ranges between 30 and 40 inches when it is open.

However, because mini or pocket umbrellas are small, they are at a disadvantage when it comes to durability. If you stay too long under the rain, you could get wet using a mini umbrella.

Inverted Umbrellas

Inverted umbrellas are unique umbrellas that close invertedly. This makes it easy for the excess water on the umbrella’s canopy to drip off easily. Inverted umbrellas are a fashionable innovation and addition to the umbrella industry. The inverted umbrella’s canopy closes in the opposite direction (upwards). So, some people refer to this umbrella as the reverse umbrellas. Also, with the design of this umbrella’s handle, you can place it around your arm if your hands are not free. For instance, when you are carrying groceries, and it starts to rain. All you have to do is secure the umbrella’s handle on your arm, and you are good to go.
