They offer more branding space than almost any other promotional item and are seen every rainy day. For durability, choose a fiber or windproof frame; for visibility, print several panels. If you already have a quote, Promopack beats it by at least 10% with the same umbrella.<\/p>\n<h2>When do promotional umbrellas make sense?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hotels, restaurants and car dealerships<\/strong>: loan or gift umbrellas that take your brand out onto the street.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outdoor events<\/strong>: they protect attendees and fill the event photos with your logo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Client gifts<\/strong>: a quality golf or windproof umbrella is kept for years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Field teams<\/strong>: sales reps, couriers or welcome staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They make less sense for mass summer giveaways or in places where it hardly rains; there, a <a href=\"https:\/\/promopack.net\/en\/merchandise\/custom-caps\/\">custom cap<\/a> or a tote bag works better.<\/p>\n<h2>Which umbrella style should you choose?<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Style<\/th>\n<th>Advantage<\/th>\n<th>Ideal for<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Golf<\/td>\n<td>Large diameter and lots of branding space<\/td>\n<td>Hotels, events and client gifts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Folding<\/td>\n<td>Fits in a bag or backpack<\/td>\n<td>Employee gifts and everyday use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Automatic<\/td>\n<td>Push-button opening, convenient<\/td>\n<td>Everyday use and sales teams<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Windproof<\/td>\n<td>Double canopy or fiber ribs that don&#8217;t break<\/td>\n<td>Coastal areas and quality gifts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Recycled (RPET)<\/td>\n<td>Canopy made from recycled bottles<\/td>\n<td>Campaigns with a sustainability message<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>They&#8217;re all under <a href=\"https:\/\/promopack.net\/en\/merchandise\/custom-umbrellas\/\">custom umbrellas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you print an umbrella so the logo is seen?<\/h2>\n<p>The usual technique is panel screen printing: the logo is printed on one or more panels with flat, water-resistant inks. Printing two opposite panels means the logo is visible from any angle. Digital printing allows full-color designs across the whole canopy, and pad printing or laser engraving adds a detail on the handle.<\/p>\n<h2>What determines the price of a promotional umbrella?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The style, diameter and type of frame.<\/li>\n<li>The number of printed panels and colors per panel.<\/li>\n<li>The quantity.<\/li>\n<li>Extras such as a matching sleeve or a gift box.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To compare, use the same spec in every quote.
