Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for branded umbrellas and rain gear? Most branded umbrellas start at 25-50 units, reusable ponchos from 100, and rain jackets from 25-50 depending on fabric and branding. Disposable PE ponchos for large activations typically start at 500. For bulk rollouts above 2,000, expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000.

How long does branded rain and weather gear take to produce and deliver? Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many core umbrella and poncho lines are branded in 1-4 business days, with 3-5 day express available on 400+ SKUs. For weather-triggered rollouts we can often courier same-week on stocked decorated umbrellas from our Sydney warehouse.

What branding methods work best on umbrellas and rain jackets? Umbrella canopies are screen-printed panel by panel, so 1-2 colour logos on one or two panels are the clean, cost-effective choice. Edge-to-edge sublimation across every panel unlocks full-colour pattern work. On rain jackets, embroidery reads as premium and survives wash cycles; digital heat transfer suits photographic or gradient artwork on back panels.

Can I see a sample before I commit to a branded umbrella run? Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your artwork are available on larger runs. Frame strength, canopy weight and the way a handle sits in the hand are decided in seconds of holding the real thing — never on a spec sheet alone.

Do you offer eco-friendly umbrellas and rain gear? Yes. Our eco range includes rPET shell umbrellas made from recycled plastic bottles, recycled-polyester ponchos, and rain jackets in bluesign-certified fabrics. Recycled packaging and FSC paper hang tags are available on request, so the sustainability story holds from canopy to carry pouch.

Which umbrella style suits conferences versus golf days versus retail gifting? Compact 21-inch auto-open umbrellas suit conferences and delegate packs — light in the bag, fast to open. 30-inch golf umbrellas with fibreglass frames and wooden handles are the premium AGM and corporate gift piece. Inverted umbrellas with reverse-close canopies are the style retail customers actually keep — a smart gift-with-purchase for winter campaigns.
