Promotional Umbrellas are not the obvious product to appear within Eco Friendly Promotional Merchandise category but we think a combination of UK manufacture and rPet Polyester made from recycled water bottles for the canopy justify the inclusion.
8.2 x 500ml plastic bottles are shredded into small granules & from this new material rPET polyester is extracted which is the material our canopies are then made from.
Our umbrella supplying factory is based near to LSi down the M1 in Sheffield. Here umbrellas are printed & finished, and the selection of umbrellas is vast, from sizes, frames, auto opening options, handles and prints.
Now with umbrellas the old saying “you get what you pay for” does apply, you can, after all, purchase a 'Budget Golf Umbrella' with a twin ribbed steel frame that is made overseas and printed to order in the UK. Nearly all of us has at some stage I'm sure used a Budget Umbrella and it will have been perfect.
But when the wind blows, a 'storm proof promotional umbrella' will show its higher spec frame qualities and might be worth the extra investment. It depends on the budget, if the umbrella is a rescue one-off “help the customer to the car” product, or if it's a business gift with the hope it will be used many times and subsequently be worth the additional investment.
For all our UK made umbrellas, where the canopy is sewn to a range of different qualities and specification frames you can specify the eco-friendly canopy made from rPET polyester which is made from recycled water bottles.
Being Polyester this material can be printed in full colour across the entire surface area of each panel creating a completely bespoke canopy that is unique to you.
Just a tip though, we suggest that within your artwork, or a dedicated panel is used that explains this umbrella is made from recycled water bottles, cause without it, you really will have no idea that it is anything out of the ordinary!
