Printing techniques for umbrellas
We use various printing techniques to print on umbrellas.
Screen printing is the most commonly used technique, involving direct printing onto the fabric of the parasol, typically onto the canopy segments. It's particularly suitable for logos or designs featuring lines and surfaces, especially those with up to 4 colours. This method yields exceptionally durable results, with vibrant printing colours and fairly accurate colour matching. However, intricate designs may pose limitations, and multi-coloured designs or small print runs can become relatively expensive. Nevertheless, screen printing proves highly cost-efficient for larger print runs with fewer colours.
We offer various types of digital printing. Digital transfer printing allows designs to be applied to fabrics of any colour, while digital sublimation printing transfers the print to white fabric. These techniques enable printing of multi-coloured designs with colour gradients, such as photos or multi-coloured logos. Digital printing can be more intricate and costly than screen printing, particularly for larger print runs.
Another digital printing option is the doming sticker. A small plate is digitally printed, finished and then stuck onto an umbrella handle.
There are also other finishing techniques that are occasionally used on umbrellas, such as lasering.
