What makes a good quality promotional umbrella?

 

iBrolly custom manufactures all our umbrellas to order – even the smaller orders for the MOQ which is 50 units – there are a few elements that set our umbrellas above the vast majority of the promotional umbrella in the market..

  • All our frames feature fiberglass ribs – this renders the umbrella frame light and with the 4mm flexible ribs very strong and capable of handling windy conditions.

  • All our umbrella feature Automatic Opening – there will be a button just below the handle that is pressed to release a strong spring – this opens the canopy nice and quickly but as important also give the canopy stability when open.

  • We use Polyester Pongee 210T canopy fabric – this is low shine, stain resistant and is treated with a waterproofing agent ensuring the canopy will say clean looking for longer and will not leak.

  • We include perimeter tape to round of the canopy nicely – can be in a matching colour to the canopy or in a contrasting colour

  • Pantone matched canopy – with the option of utilizing R-PET fabric to offer then as ECO Friendly
