Guide to Promotional Golf Umbrellas Customisation Options

Promotional golf umbrellas are excellent marketing tools. Not only popular on golf courses, they are also appreciated as gifts for families and couples, as they can be taken for walks and protect a few people from the rain at the same time.

Golf umbrellas have to be sturdy and robust - they are usually kept for a few years. For that reason companies do not shy away from investing a little more to make their umbrella extra special. Here we go through all the elements of the golf umbrella to explain all the personalisation options available.

Canopy

Umbrella canopy is the most prominent element of the umbrella and it is the part that usually gets personalised. It's the fabric that's spread across the frame that protects the user from the rain or sunshine. The canopy is made up of panels that are sewn together and the number of panels varies according to umbrella style - from just one big panel to the most popular eight panels to even more. Printing is done on these panels - by printing just a logo or a full colour artwork that encompasses the whole canopy.

The video below explaines the canopy printing processes and options in more detail:

Some umbrella styles allow to have double canopy, meaning that the inside of the umbrella is different to the outside. It can be just a dfferent colour or a printed design.

In addition to printing the canopy, an extra option is binding round the edge of the canopy. This means sawing an extra strip of farbic, usually in a contrasting or complimenting colour, round the edge of the umbrella.

Frame

The frame of your promotional golf umbrella doesn't need to be limited to just black of silver. Its colour can be personalised so that it matches elements of your artwork or the canopy itself.

Handle

Umbrellas usually come with their own handles but if required, these can be replaced with non-standard and upgraded options. Options include:

• wooden crook handles that give a classic look
• special foam handles for increased comfort
• plastic handles in a range of colours

In addition, some handles allow for the insertion of a printed decal. This has a 3D, glossy effect and can be done in full colour.
