By combining high-quality materials with advanced printing techniques we ensure your customised umbrellas not only look exceptional but also perform reliably in real world conditions

Screen Printing for Logo Umbrellas

This method of printing remains one of the most reliable and cost-effective methods for producing customised umbrellas, particularly for businesses that want strong, bold branding at the right price.

For many clients, this method is ideal when the design is simple – typically one to three colours, allowing for clean, consistent results across larger orders. It’s a proven process that delivers durability and clarity, making it a popular choice for marketing campaigns, events and corporate use.

This process involves applying ink through a stencil onto each panel of the umbrella canopy. This ensures that the design is applied evenly and remains sharp, even after repeated use in challenging whether conditions. For customers looking for dependable branding without the need for full colour, this method offers excellent value.

When placing an order, we will first review your artwork to confirm whether this is the most suitable option. If your design is more complex or requires photographic detail, alternative methods may be required, which we will recommend in the following sections.

For straightforward branding, however, screen printing continues to be a preferred solution for businesses that want a balance of quality, durability and competitive price, while still achieving strong visual impact

Dye Sublimation - Branded Umbrella Printing

For clients looking to generate something truly eye catching - this is the most advanced process available for personalised umbrellas. Unlike screen printing, which is suited to simple artwork, this type of application allows for unlimited photographic detail including tints and shading and full eight panel coverage.

The dye sublimation process uses heat and a specialist heat press to transfer the design directly into the fabric. This method ensures the ink is absorbed into the material rather than sitting on the surface, resulting in a smooth durable finish that will not crack or peel, even after years of regular use.

One of the main reasons why businesses choose this method is the amount of detail that can be achieved. From landscapes and maps to intricate branding elements, this technique delivers a premium level of quality that is ideal for retail, promotional and special projects.

This type of branding is particularly effective where a fully bespoke build is required, allowing each umbrella to be created entirely around the customers brand. For clients who want to move beyond basic application, dis sublimation offers complete creative freedom.

While the price is typically higher than traditional methods, the visual impact and long-term durability justify the investment. It is especially suited to orders where branding plays a key role in influencing purchased decisions.

When you placed a request or order, our team will guide you through the full process, including design preparation and product time. Depending on the complexity of your design, production time may vary, but the end result is always a high-quality umbrella that reflects your brand at the highest level.

Digital Printing for Flexible & Short Run Orders

Digital printing offers a flexible solution for our customers that require smaller quantities, faster turnaround time or more adaptable design options. This type of printing is ideal when a quick order is needed or where artwork may change between runs.

Unlike traditional screen printing, digitalised printing allows for more detailed designs without the need for complex setup, making the overall process quicker and more efficient. This makes it a practical choice for customers who need speed and convenience without committing to larger volumes.

While the finish may not reach the same premium level as dye sublimation, it still delivers strong visual results at a competitive price, particularly for short runs or promotional projects. It is often used when flexibility is required or when a special campaign calls for rapid production.

How Digital Printing Differs from Dye Sublimation

While both methods produce detailed designs, the process behind them is very different.

With dye sublimation, the design is first printed onto transfer paper and then applied to the umbrella fabric using heat and a heat press. As the material comes off the press the ink has been infused into the fibres, meaning the print becomes part of the fabric itself. This is why sublimation delivers a higher level of durability, with detail that remain vibrant for years without cracking or peeling.

Digital printing, by contrast, applies the ink directly onto the surface of the canopy. This type of printing does not require the same same heat transfer process process, making it quicker and more flexible for short orders or where fast turnaround time is required. However, because the ink sits on top of the surface rather than being absorbed, the finish may not achieve the same depth or long-term performance as die sublimation.

Photographic Printed Branded Umbrellas

Photographic printed branded umbrellas take custom design to the next level level, allowing full, high definition imagery, landscapes and detailed artwork to be reproduced across the canopy with exceptional clarity. Unlike standard logo applications, this process enables your corporate umbrella to become a true visual statement, transforming a simple promotional item into a high impact brand asset.

Using advanced dye-sublimation techniques, we can print everything from subtle gradients to bold, higher resolution images ensuring your company logo integrates seamlessly with the wider design. This is particularly effective for brands looking to stand out in crowded environments such as events, exhibitions and retail spaces.

For marketing teams, this style of promotional item offers far greater storytelling potential. Whether it’s a scenic backdrop, architectural detail or brand inspired artwork, photographic printing allows your message to be communicated instantly and memorably.

Our production capabilities also support small batch requirements, making this an ideal solution for limited edition campaigns, venue retail or specialist projects where exclusivity matters. At the same time, we maintain a full range of umbrella styles, including golf umbrellas, walking umbrellas and compact telescopic models, ensuring the finished product is aligned perfectly with your brand positioning.

Interior Printed Branded Umbrellas

Interior printed branded umbrellas offer a unique way to elevate promotional umbrellas into memorable, high impact promotional items. By printing on the inside canopy your design is revealed when the umbrella is in use, creating a far more engaging and personal brand experience than traditional exterior prints.

These high-quality products are the perfect choice for retail rich environments such as museums, galleries and visitor attractions where customers are looking for a meaningful souvenir and an opportunity to make a secondary spend. From full glorious colour artwork - inspired by exhibitions to iconic venue imagery, interior printing transforms an umbrella into a valued keepsake.

This approach is equally powerful for events and venues. Formula 1 circuits can be reproduced in full detail across the inner canopy, while horse racing events such as the Cheltenham Gold Cup can feature the racecourse track in full detailed colour. For golf courses, interior designs can showcase a signature hole or the entire course layout, creating a premium item that visitors will value long after their visit.

Unlike low-cost umbrellas, which are often not geared for retail environment due to durability issues and potential returns, our interior printed range is specifically designed for resale. These high-quality products are engineered to perform in real world conditions, ensuring customers leave with a product that lasts. For retailers, this means a confidence in the product and reduced risk of dissatisfaction or returns.

At iBrolly Ireland, we stand behind our umbrellas with a performance guarantee, making them ideal for retail, visitor attractions and premium personalised umbrella programs.

Importantly, this is the same product in terms of structure and performance - simply enhanced with a more premium internal finish. This makes it an ideal upgrade for personalised umbrellas where the inside canopy is a key part of the design and overall presentation.

This attention to detail makes a significant difference for interior printed branded umbrellas, delivering a smooth, uninterrupted finish that elevate the product into a high-quality item. It is ideal for retail and boutique environments, where presentation and perceived quality are critical.

Umbrella Canopy Blocking Agents

Our standard option is a silver coating, which provides excellent and protection by reducing light penetration and improving comfort in bright conditions, while also limiting showthrough from external designs. For projects requiring a higher level of performance – particularly where the exterior canopy is white, we also offer a premium titanium coating.

This advanced option delivers near 100% light block out, effectively prevent preventing any external design from showing through while maximising sun and rain protection.
