Umbrellas – Umbrellas in this category are guest and giveaway umbrellas that can be personalised with the hotel logo, from compact folding models kept at reception to long automatic and golf umbrellas used at entrances and events. Choice depends on canopy diameter, frame construction, opening mechanism, handle type and the printing method used for the panels.
For a quotation, give the quantity, the model type, the number of logo colours and which panels should be printed, together with a vector logo file. Canopy size, frame materials and decoration options are listed in the technical data of each item.
Umbrellas: procurement considerations
- Canopy size: Larger canopies protect two people at an entrance, while compact folding models are easier to lend out and store behind the reception desk.
- Frame construction: Fibreglass ribs and wind-vented canopies survive gusts far better than simple steel frames, which matters at exposed entrances.
- Opening mechanism: Manual, automatic open and automatic open-close versions differ in convenience and in the number of moving parts that can fail in loan use.
- Print area: Logos are usually printed on one or more panels; the number of panels and colours printed has a direct effect on the unit price.

Yes, printing on one, several or all panels is possible. Please state the number of panels and colours so the set-up cost can be quoted.

Compact folding or mid-size automatic models are usually chosen for loan, as they are easy to store and to return; entrance use favours larger canopies.
