Silk Screen
This traditional method is highly effective and long-lasting. An image is transferred to the umbrella surface by ink, which is pressed through a stenciled ‘silk’ screen and treated with a light-sensitive emulsion. A screen is required for each color to be printed. Pantone Color match available.
We also print in metallic ink and reflective ink - a great way to make your umbrella design visible at night.
LOCAL PRINTING: The print size using this technique on ready-made in-stock rain umbrellas is roughly 9 inches wide x 7 inches tall. There is a restriction to not printing to the edge or close to the seams.
OFFSHORE PRODUCTION: When we custom manufacture our umbrellas offshore, we can screen print the panels prior to sewing. This allows amazing effects such as all over prints and bold messages and branding.
Digital Heat Transfer
This printing technology allows us to print full-color photographs or images on our umbrellas with digital heat transfer printing. This is a method of printing fibers with disperse dyes. The design, or print, is transferred from the pre-printed paper onto the umbrella by contact heat, then the dyes are absorbed by the fabric. Heat transfer printing is great for producing clear, very well defined images.

Full Color Dye Sublimation
Dye-sublimation printing is a digital printing technology using full-color artwork that works with polyester and polymer-coated substrates.
The end result of the sublimation process is a nearly permanent, high resolution, full-color print. Because the dyes are infused into the substrate at the molecular level, rather than applied at a topical level (such as with silkscreen and direct to garment printing), the prints will not crack, fade or peel from the substrate under normal conditions

Custom Design
Custom umbrella design is what we specialize in. We offer a number of design options for your branded promotional umbrella. These include printing on the canopy, interior canopy, piping and rib tape, tie-bands, customized handles, and frames.
Branding options most umbrellas have 8 panels, but this can vary. A double canopy allows your message to be displayed inside or out.
Other detail perimeters or rib take, a printed tie band or sleeve, and handle are finer details to create a bespoke, premium promotional umbrella.
