Printed umbrellas as advertising material:
Your personalised umbrella or parasol, available from as little as 1 piece
When it comes to printed umbrellas as advertising material, the wheat is quickly separated from the chaff. As the inventor of numerous umbrella innovations, FARE offers you not only standard logo prints, but genuine custom-made umbrellas straight from the factory. Whether it’s a photorealistic full-surface all-over print or CI adaptations accurate to the millimetre – we’ll turn your umbrella into an eye-catching brand ambassador. Benefit from transparent lead times, free advice and our tried-and-tested premium quality.
Why printed umbrellas are the perfect advertising material
Advertising material must be visible, useful and durable. Umbrellas tick all these boxes with flying colours. Unlike one-off giveaways, high-quality umbrellas are used for years on end – and carry your promotional message through the streets with every shower.
As the manufacturer of successful models such as the Magic Windfighter and the Safebrella®, we guarantee that your promotional umbrella will withstand even stormy days thanks to our Windproof system. A faulty umbrella casts a bad light on your brand – a FARE umbrella, on the other hand, underlines your commitment to quality.
FARE Allover Xpress: Full-surface printing from as little as 100 units
Would you like to use not just a logo on a panel, but the entire umbrella canopy as a canvas? Whilst many suppliers only offer all-over printing for extremely large print runs, our FARE Allover Xpress provides the solution for fast and flexible bespoke production.
- Photorealistic digital printing: Unlimited colour variety across the entire canopy
- Low minimum order quantity: Available from as little as 100 units
- Fast delivery time: Approx. 10 weeks after approval of the production sample
Promotional labelling in detail: Far more than just exterior printing
A truly custom-made product is revealed in the details. In addition to the classic exterior print, here at FARE we offer modifications that standard dealers do not have in their range:
- Surprising interior print: Discreet on the outside in your corporate colour, with a bright blue sky or your campaign motif on the inside
- Finished handles: Create tactile highlights with 3D doming, laser engraving or a handle dyed in Pantone colours
- Custom closing strap: Woven labels or closing straps printed over the entire surface (e.g. with a website URL or slogan)
Process & Delivery Times: Transparency from Day 1
When it comes to custom-made products shipped directly from the factory (Far East), logistics are crucial. We offer you complete transparency for your project planning:

Decision-making made easy: umbrella visualisations from our experts
On request, our graphic designers can create a realistic visualisation of your design before the umbrella goes into production. This ensures there are no nasty surprises when cutting across the umbrella gussets.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about printed umbrellas
Can the umbrella be printed seamlessly across all panels?
Yes, with allover digital printing, the fabric is printed before it is cut into panels and sewn together. This makes it ideal for creating designs that span the seams (‘all-over’ designs).
What print files does FARE require for a custom-made product?
We require the desired graphics or logos. For photorealistic digital printing, we need high-resolution raster graphics (at least 300 dpi at actual size).
Can I see a sample before placing a bulk order?
Of course. Following digital approval, we produce a sample for bespoke orders. This is photographed or, upon request, sent to you for a final tactile inspection.
