Compact Umbrellas

Compact umbrellas fold down small enough to carry every day, which is what makes them one of the more practical choices in the umbrella category. Manual folding formats are the volume purchase, straightforward, lightweight, and easy to brand. Auto open formats add convenience and are the preferred choice when the umbrella is being given to clients or attendees rather than staff. Windproof and vented compact umbrellas are built with reinforced frames or double-canopy venting to handle stronger conditions without inverting. At the higher end, rPET and recycled canopy formats carry a sustainability credential alongside the logo, and full canopy sublimation options give the artwork maximum panel coverage. Wooden handle and hook handle formats add a more executive finish for gifting applications.

A marketing team putting together a conference delegate pack could include a branded compact umbrella alongside other items. Every attendee takes it home, and the umbrella becomes part of their daily carry, used on the way to work, on the way to lunch, and on the way to the car. That is consistent logo exposure across a broad audience with no additional media spend.

Screen printing, full colour transfers, and sublimation are all available depending on the format selected.

What is the difference between screen printing and sublimation on a compact umbrella?
