Why Buy a Steel City Branded Umbrella?

At Steel City, we design and supply branded umbrellas to do one job well: keep your brand visible, useful, and remembered. We focus on impact and durability first, giving your logo a large, high-visibility canvas on a product people actually keep and use. Whether you’re planning corporate gifts, promoting an outdoor event, or equipping staff with practical branded merchandise, we help you choose an umbrella that fits the job.

• Durable and Weatherproof: We select umbrellas built for everyday UK use, so your branding stays in circulation long after the event rather than ending up forgotten or broken.
• High-Impact Branding: We prioritise large canopies and smart panel layouts, giving your logo multiple print areas so it’s seen clearly from every angle.
• Variety of Styles: From compact folding umbrellas for daily carry to large golf umbrellas for maximum presence at events, we help you match the style to how and where it will be used.
• Eco-Friendly Options: For brands with sustainability goals, we offer umbrellas made from recycled materials so your merchandise aligns with your values as well as your visual identity.

We know branded merchandise only works if the quality holds up. Our umbrellas aren’t just practical - they’re designed to leave a lasting impression. Get in touch for free visuals and speak directly with your dedicated Account Manager to make sure you’re choosing the right option from the start.

FAQs

Are these umbrellas suitable for all types of promotional and corporate events?

Yes. We supply umbrellas for everything from corporate giveaways and golf days to outdoor festivals and staff kits. The key difference is choosing the right style for the setting. For high-footfall events or long outdoor days, we usually recommend larger, sturdier umbrellas so your branding stays visible and the product lasts.

Can I customize the design of my branded umbrella?

Absolutely. Customisation is where branded umbrellas really work. We help you choose the right print method, placement, and colour combination so your logo or message stands out clearly on the canopy. Our team works with you from concept to approval to make sure the final design reflects your brand properly.

What sizes do your printed umbrellas come in?

We offer a full range, from compact foldable umbrellas that are easy to carry day to day, to large golf umbrellas that maximise coverage and brand visibility. If portability matters most, we’ll steer you toward smaller styles. If impact and presence are the priority, larger canopies are usually the better choice.

Do you offer eco-friendly logo umbrellas?

Yes. We offer eco-friendly umbrellas made using recycled materials, ideal for brands that want their promotional products to support sustainability messaging without compromising on quality or print finish.

What is the minimum order quantity for your umbrellas?

Our minimum order starts at just 25 units, which works well for small teams, internal campaigns, or targeted giveaways, while still scaling easily for larger corporate orders.

How long will it take to receive my umbrellas?

Turnaround times are typically 7-14 business days, depending on the product and level of customisation. If you’re working to a tight deadline, let us know early and we’ll advise on the best options or expedited production where possible.

Are your umbrellas windproof?

Many of the umbrellas we supply feature reinforced frames and vented canopies, making them far more reliable in windy conditions. This is especially important for outdoor events where performance matters as much as appearance.

Can I order samples before making a bulk purchase?

Yes. We always encourage samples where possible, especially for larger orders. Seeing the umbrella and print quality in person helps you make a confident decision before committing to bulk production.

What is the best umbrella style for an outdoor event?

For outdoor events, we usually recommend larger umbrellas such as the Fibrestorm Golf Umbrella or the FARE Okobrella AC Golf Umbrella. These styles offer maximum coverage, stronger frames, and a bigger branding area, making them ideal for corporate, sporting, and hospitality events.
