The Right Shape of the Umbrella
June 15, 2016
Advantages of the classic shapes
Promotional umbrellas can differ from one another in many features. The shape plays a particularly important role: it has a significant influence on usability and determines how easily the logo umbrella can be stored and transported. While walking-stick umbrellas are fitted with a long handle and can therefore often also be used as a walking or hiking stick, printed umbrellas in the form of a pocket umbrella feature a retractable shaft. This makes them considerably smaller when folded and far easier to transport. Thanks to their compact dimensions, such promotional umbrellas can also be stowed away in bags without any trouble during dry, sunny spells. From there, they can be quickly and easily produced whenever needed. This makes them ideally suited for use in everyday life.
Choosing the Right Model
When deciding on the shape of an umbrella, size plays a role in several respects: it is not only a question of whether the promotional umbrella should fit in the glove compartment, but also of the relationship between the size of the umbrella and the height of its future owner. Printed walking-stick umbrellas in XXL format can prove to be an ideal purchase for tall people, while smaller people find them harder to handle. Conversely, taller people may feel uncomfortable with a promotional umbrella in miniature format, whereas small people delight in the model's particular handiness. Walking-stick umbrellas are often distinguished by greater stability and effortlessly withstand even stronger winds. Owing to their size, however, they take up quite a lot of room and are difficult to stow away. Carrying them in a bag or the glove compartment is out of the question. A mini umbrella, on the other hand, can easily be tucked away. In return, though, it proves more susceptible to strong weather conditions.
More Individuality Through Unusual Shapes
With printed umbrellas, a distinction can be made not only between models with a long, retractable shaft. The individual variants are also characterised by different shapes of the actual rain canopy. There are, for example, heart-shaped models that are particularly well suited for use on Valentine's Day and aimed at especially romantic people. A square shape is also available. With their unusual shapes, promotional umbrellas stand for individuality. They stand out from the crowd and attract even more attention.
