Closed length is the spec that decides whether a model goes in a bag or a pocket. We publish it in centimetres and inches, because that is the number your listing has to state.

Sun protection

UV protection options

An umbrella blocks UV in two ways: the fabric density and the coating applied to the inside face. A black coating layer is what turns an ordinary canopy into a sun umbrella, and it is the reason a UV model costs slightly more than the equivalent plain build.

We produce black-coated canopies on the mini capsule and 3-fold platforms. The rating we state is UPF 50+, confirmed by a test report we can send you — the standard the test was performed to is stated on the report itself, and we do not put a rating on a page without the document behind it.

If you are listing a sun umbrella on a marketplace, the rated value on your listing has to match the report. We give you the report so the two agree.

What a UV order needs from you

Canopy colour (coating is applied to the inside face, so the outside colour is unaffected), the model you are building on, and the destination market so we send the right report.

Minimums are the same as any other custom order — 24 pcs from stock, 100 pcs with your logo, 300 pcs for full-canopy print.

Weight is the net weight of the umbrella without packaging and varies slightly with handle choice and print method. UPF ratings are stated on the test report for the specific canopy ordered.

Packing & container loadings

Packing & shipping information

Folding umbrellas pack tighter than any other category, which is why they are the easiest line to ship by carton, by container or by courier.

Why buy folding umbrellas here

Ordering & customization

Our own production line

We manufacture golf, straight and folding umbrellas in our own factory. Our team manages production, inspection and order shipment.

Closed length stated, not implied

Buyers compare 20 cm against 32 cm before anything else. We publish it in both units per model so your listing copy writes itself from the spec sheet.

UPF options with a report behind them

Black-coated UV canopies are available on the compact platforms, with the test report supplied so your listing value matches the documented rating.

Core stock held year-round

The compact models sit in our core stock list, so a small seller can reorder before a listing runs dry rather than waiting on a full production run.

Folding umbrella questions

What buyers ask before ordering

How many ribs does a folding umbrella actually have?+
Compare the specifications for your selected model. We confirm the frame, canopy and packing details with the quotation.
Can I get a UPF-rated sun umbrella?+
Yes, on the compact platforms, using a black-coated canopy. The rating we state is UPF 50+, and the test report is supplied so your listing value matches the documented figure. Tell us your destination market and we send the applicable report.
What is the smallest closed length you make?+
The mini capsule closes to 20 cm / 7.9 in, which is the pocket-carry end of the range. The 3-fold compact is 28 cm and the standard auto open/close is 32 cm.
Are folding umbrellas restocked regularly?+
The compact models sit in our core stock list and are held through the year, with restocking when stock runs low. Tell us the models and colours you sell and we will confirm current stock and restock timing by email rather than leaving you to guess.
Can a folding umbrella carry a full-canopy print?+
Yes, from 300 pcs. The panel is smaller than a golf canopy, so fine detail needs simplifying — send the artwork and we will tell you before plates are made whether it survives the print.
