Weight is the net weight of the umbrella without packaging and varies slightly with print method. A full-canopy print run adds a few grams compared with a screen-printed one-colour logo.

Printing on this model

Printing on a canopy that folds

Eight panels at 26 × 17 cm. A compact logo prints cleanly; a wide lockup has to be scaled or set across two panels, and we show you the layout before print.

The fold lines are the constraint on any folding umbrella. Artwork that crosses a fold will crease, and on a three-fold frame there are more folds than on a two-fold one. We return a layout showing where each break falls.

Because this model is built on our own line, print and assembly run in the same building — which is why the lead time on a printed run is shorter here than on the partner-built categories.

Printable area

26 × 17 cm / 10.2 × 6.7 in per panel across eight panels. Fold lines are marked on the template file.

AI, EPS or vector PDF with outlined text is preferred. Send other formats for review. Request the panel template for your selected model before preparing final artwork.

auto open/close folding questions

Product FAQ

Does a one-touch open and close mechanism wear out?+
It is a moving part, so it is the first thing to be inspected. We test a sample from each run with repeated open-and-close cycles and check for spring fatigue. We do not publish a cycle figure because we have not measured one under a standard test.
Is 32 cm closed small enough for a bag?+
Yes. At 32 cm closed it fits a tote, a backpack side pocket or a glovebox. If you need something that goes in a coat pocket, look at the mini capsule model, which closes to 20 cm.
Is 385 g heavy for a folding umbrella?+
It is mid-range for an eight-rib auto open/close build. A six-rib compact will be lighter but less stable in wind; the weight here is the frame and the mechanism. For a marketplace listing, this is the figure to state.
Can the canopy be coated for UV protection?+
Yes, a black or silver coating can be applied. If the listing will carry a UPF claim, the rating has to come from a test report for the specific canopy ordered, and we send the report so the listing and the document agree.
Is this model made in your own factory?+
Yes. The folding line is our own, which is why we publish the rib count and closed length as our own measurements and why printed lead times are shorter than on the golf and straight ranges.
How many fit in a container?+
Packing details and container loading are confirmed for your selected model, quantity and packaging in the quotation.
