Ordering and minimums
How ordering branded umbrellas works
Ordering branded umbrellas with Promotional Umbrella Experts follows four steps: request a quote, approve artwork, confirm your order, then we produce and deliver. Send your logo and quantity for a quote and approve a digital proof as part of the order process, then production runs approximately 10 working days from artwork approval, with rush orders accommodated where possible. You order online or by phone on 1300 25 60 70, with no storefront to visit.
Minimum order for branded umbrellas
The minimum order is 25 units per style, custom printed with your logo. A few premium or made-to-order lines carry a higher minimum, which we confirm with your quote. Per-unit pricing improves as quantities rise.
How to get a quote for branded umbrellas
Request a quote from Promotional Umbrella Experts by sending your chosen umbrella, quantity and logo through the quote form or by calling 1300 25 60 70. We reply with pricing, decoration options and a realistic timeline, and can recommend styles if you are unsure. No payment is taken to request a quote.
Small businesses and one-off orders
Yes, Promotional Umbrella Experts works with small businesses, startups and one-off event orders from 25 units. You do not need to be a large company or order in the thousands. We are family-owned and handle orders of every size across Australia.
Re-orders and repeat branding
Re-orders are straightforward because we keep your artwork and specifications on file. Reordering the same branded umbrella is quick to quote and produce, and we can adjust quantity, colours or decoration whenever your needs change. Quote your previous order or reference when you get in touch.

Ordering branded umbrellas in bulk

Request a quote with your quantity for an exact figure.
Pricing and value
How branded umbrella pricing works
Branded umbrella pricing at Promotional Umbrella Experts is quote-based and depends on the umbrella, the quantity, the decoration method and the number of print positions. Larger quantities lower the per-unit price. Request a quote with your details for an exact figure tailored to your order.
What affects the price of a branded umbrella
Four things drive the price: the umbrella style and frame, the order quantity, the print method, and how many canopy panels or positions you brand. Premium frames and full-colour or multi-panel printing cost more than a single-position screen print. We help you balance budget and impact when we quote.
The Price Beat Promise
If you find a comparable product from another Australian supplier for less, we will do our best to beat it on a like-for-like basis, matched on product, quantity, decoration and lead time. Send us the comparable quote and we will review it.
How quantity changes the unit price
Unit price falls as quantity rises, because setup and artwork are spread across more units. Ordering several hundred umbrellas usually costs noticeably less per unit than the minimum. Ask for price breaks either side of your target quantity and we will show them.
Payment and invoicing
Payment is handled as part of the order process once your quote and artwork are approved, not when you request a quote. We invoice your business and confirm terms with your order. No payment is taken to get a quote or a digital proof.
Artwork and decoration
Artwork formats we accept
Vector artwork is preferred, such as EPS, AI or PDF files with outlined fonts, because it prints cleanly at any size. We also accept high-resolution PNG or JPG and can advise if your file needs work. Send what you have and our team will check it.
How the digital proof works
We prepare a digital proof showing your logo on the chosen umbrella, which you approve as part of the order process before anything is made. The proof confirms placement, size and colours so there are no surprises. Production only begins once you are happy with it.
Decoration methods available
We decorate umbrellas by screen print, full-colour panel print and heat transfer, chosen to suit your logo and canopy. Screen print suits bold one or two colour logos, while full-colour panel print handles detailed or photographic artwork. We recommend the best method when we quote.
PMS and brand colour matching
Yes, we colour-match to PMS (Pantone) references so your branding stays consistent. Supply your brand colour codes and we match them on the canopy as closely as the fabric and print method allow.
How many logo colours and positions are possible
You can brand from a single panel up to all canopy panels, in one or multiple colours, depending on the umbrella and print method. Golf umbrellas offer up to eight printable panels for high visibility. Tell us your logo and goal and we will advise the best layout.
Production and turnaround
How long umbrella production takes
Standard production is approximately 10 working days from artwork approval, with rush orders accommodated where possible. Transit time to your location is additional. Tell us your in-hand date and we will confirm a realistic timeline.
Rush and express options
Yes, rush orders are accommodated where possible for tight deadlines. If you have a fixed event date, tell us early and we will check express production and stock. We give you an honest in-hand date as part of the quote.
What happens after artwork approval
Once you approve the digital proof, your order moves into production and runs approximately 10 working days, with rush orders accommodated where possible. We keep you updated and confirm dispatch. Approval is the point the production clock starts.
Stock availability and timing
Timelines depend on current stock levels, which we confirm at quoting. Popular styles are generally well stocked, and we flag any item with a longer lead time up front. For made-to-order or large-format products, allow additional time.
Ordering ahead for a known event date
Order as early as you can when you have a fixed event date, and tell us the in-hand date you need. We work back from your deadline, confirm production and transit, and recommend express options if timing is tight. Early ordering gives the most flexibility.

Delivery timing after dispatch
Delivery time after dispatch depends on your location, typically a few working days to metro areas and longer to regional and remote areas. This is additional to the production time. We confirm expected transit when we quote.

We do not operate a public showroom or pickup point, so orders are placed online or by phone on 1300 25 60 70. We are a service-area business and deliver to you anywhere in Australia. Samples can be arranged where needed.

Products and suitability
Umbrella types available
We supply golf, compact and folding, executive, inverted, market, auto-open, curved-handle, vented and storm-proof umbrellas, plus marquees and gazebos. Each suits a different use, from handheld giveaways to commercial venues. Browse the full range to compare styles.
Which umbrella suits which use
Golf and compact umbrellas suit giveaways and gifting, executive umbrellas suit premium client gifts, and market umbrellas suit hospitality venues. Inverted and storm-proof styles handle wind and rain. Tell us the use and we will match the style.
Windproof and storm-rated options
Yes, our vented and storm-proof umbrellas use double-vented canopies and fibreglass ribs to hold in strong wind. They are built to flex rather than break in gusts. These suit exposed sites, coastal venues and windy regions.
Eco and rPET options
Yes, we offer eco-friendly umbrellas with rPET canopies made from recycled plastic. They brand the same way as standard canopies and suit sustainability-focused organisations. Ask for the eco range when you quote.
UPF and sun protection
Many of our umbrellas offer UPF 50+ canopies that block the majority of UV, which suits outdoor events and high-sun regions. Sun protection is a strong selling point for hospitality and event use. We can confirm UPF ratings per style.
Branded marquees and gazebos
Yes, we supply branded marquees and gazebos for events, markets and activations, custom printed with your logo. They offer large branding areas and pack down for transport. These suit trade shows, sports days and pop-up activations.
