Branded umbrellas for companies: what they cost and how to choose
A rain item with your logo costs from £0.78 per unit, including printing. Branded umbrellas are not all used in the same way: a folding umbrella that fits in a backpack, an umbrella for reception, or a poncho to hand out at an event each does a different job. In this guide you will see today’s category pricing, selections for the most common uses with real products, and the details worth checking before you order.
How much does a branded umbrella cost?
Unit price with your logo in one colour in the standard print area, usually on one panel, excluding VAT and delivery. The price drops as quantity goes up because the print setup is spread across more units.

For concerts, races and large-scale giveaways
When rain hits at an event, what matters is a quick, light solution that is easy to hand out. A poncho in a pouch or compact pack takes up little space, weighs very little and is usually personalised on the pouch itself with UV digital print or pad printing.
Here it is best to avoid umbrellas: at concerts or races they get in the way more than they help. A poncho works better in a crowd, and you can combine it with other event merchandise in the same order.

If you want people to keep it with them all the time, format matters most. A folding umbrella with a sleeve and, better still, automatic opening and closing fits in a bag or backpack and can be used one-handed when getting into a car or a building. The logo is usually printed on one panel with screen printing or transfer.
Check the weight and the sleeve before the colour. A folding umbrella that is easy to carry gets kept; a bulky one ends up in a drawer. If your logo has gradients, digital transfer handles fine design details better than screen printing.

A standard umbrella fits reception areas and visitor use because it opens quickly, hangs neatly and has more presence than a mini folding style. On the panel, screen printing or screen transfer gives you a clean logo that is easy to read from a distance.
Do not look only at the fabric. What decides how well it lasts is the frame: fibreglass ribs are better than thin steel, and eight ribs are better than six because they spread the tension. If it will stay in the office, a comfortable handle matters too.

When the umbrella needs to cover more, show more and stand up better to wind, a golf style is the right choice. The larger panel area gives the logo more presence, and it is usually printed with screen printing or digital transfer depending on the design.
Print one or two opposite panels and that is usually enough for it to be seen from the front and the back. Printing all panels rarely improves the result and it does make the quote more complex. If you want a more understated gift, dark colours and wooden or bamboo handles work well.
