Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Branded Umbrellas
Find answers to common questions about ordering, custom printing, delivery times and product options. We specialise in high-quality custom branded umbrellas with no minimum order, making it easy to order exactly what you need.
Yes — we offer no minimum order quantity, so you can order a single umbrella or larger quantities depending on your needs. Some of our business customers choose to order one umbrella as a sample to test the quality before placing a larger order.
Yes, we offer tiered bulk discounts on all custom printed umbrellas. Discounts automatically apply when you order 6 or more units, with larger orders receiving greater savings.
You can view the full pricing breakdown directly on the product page below the “Add to Cart” button. Simply choose the number of panels you’d like printed, and the price per umbrella will update instantly.
Yes, we can print photos on our 2-colour umbrellas, using the white panels to ensure the best print quality and detail.
This makes them a great option for personalised gifts, allowing you to create a unique design with images, text, or both.
Full colour printing means your logo or design is printed exactly as supplied, including all colours, gradients, and fine details.
This printing method is available on our white golf umbrellas or two-tone umbrellas with white panels. Full colour designs can only be printed onto the white sections of the umbrella to ensure the best colour accuracy and finish.
For example, full colour printing is available on styles such as all-white, black/white, blue/white, red/white, navy/white, grey/white, pink/white, and green/white umbrellas.
1 colour printing is used for printing logos onto single-colour or darker umbrellas. Instead of full colour, your design is printed in one solid colour, chosen from our stock print colour options.
This method works best for simple logos without fine detail, gradients, or overlapping colours. For the best results, we convert your logo into a clean, single-colour version suitable for printing.
1 colour printing is typically used on umbrellas in colours such as black, navy, red, yellow, orange, and grey.
You can view examples of this print style on our product page images. If you’re unsure whether your logo is suitable, feel free to send it to us and we’ll advise.
In many cases, yes. If your logo uses two colours that do not overlap and both colours are available within our stock print colour range, we can usually print it using this method.
However, 1 colour printing is best suited to simple designs, so we recommend contacting us first to confirm your artwork is suitable. We’ll review your logo and advise on the best printing option to achieve a clean, high-quality result.
To offer custom printed umbrellas with no minimum order, we use a streamlined 1 colour printing process. This keeps production efficient while delivering high-quality logo umbrellas with fast turnaround times, including express options.
If your logo includes multiple colours, fine details, or more complex elements, we can still print it on darker umbrellas. However, this will require a minimum order quantity (typically starting from 6–10 units, depending on the design).
If you require full-colour or more detailed branding without minimum order restrictions, our 2-colour panel umbrellas allow printing on white panels with greater design flexibility.
For more complex artwork, please contact us or upload your logo, and we’ll provide a tailored quote along with the most suitable printing option for your design.
Yes, you can mix and match umbrella colours and still qualify for bulk discounts.
For example, you could order 3 black/white umbrellas and 3 blue/white umbrellas, and you would still receive the discounted pricing.
You can upload your logo during the final stage of the checkout process, where you’ll see an option to add your artwork before completing your order.
If you miss this step or are unsure whether your logo uploaded correctly, don’t worry — our team will always review your order and contact you if anything is missing or needs clarification.
The best format is the highest quality version of your logo, ideally the original file provided by your designer (such as EPS, AI, PNG, or PDF).
Because we print onto large golf umbrellas, your logo may need to be enlarged. Low-resolution files can lose quality when scaled, so high-resolution or vector files will always give the best results.
That said, you can upload whatever file you have. If the quality isn’t suitable, our design team can adjust or even redraw your logo to ensure your customised umbrella achieves the best possible print finish.
Rest assured, we always check your artwork and will never proceed to print with a low-quality logo.
Yes, you can request a proof during the checkout process. Your order will not go into production until you have reviewed and approved the design.
If you prefer, you can also request a digital proof or sample at any time by contacting us before placing your order. This is especially useful if you’d like to see how your logo will look on different umbrella colours before making a decision.
Yes, our custom printed umbrellas are designed for durability, performance, and long-term use.

Our umbrellas have 8 panels, forming a classic octagonal shape.
We can print your logo on 1, 2, or 4 panels, depending on your design and branding requirements.
No, we do not offer printing across multiple panels or full canopy (all-over) printing.
Our printing is applied to individual panels only, which ensures the best print quality and alignment for your logo or design.
In some cases, yes — printing on all 8 panels may be possible depending on your logo and how it needs to be positioned.
As this requires careful alignment and setup, we recommend contacting us first. We’ll review your design and advise on the best option to achieve a clean, consistent result.
Yes, you can print two different logos on alternating panels. We can also print up to four different logos when choosing a 4-panel print option.
