Colour Shaft Auto Open Single Layer Straight Umbrella
Full coverage digital print across eight panels on a colour fibreglass frame
What This Umbrella Is
A 23 or 27 inch auto open straight umbrella where the ribs and shaft are both colour fibreglass and the canopy is designed for full coverage printing. Unlike a logo-on-one-panel promotional umbrella, all eight panels can carry artwork edge to edge, which makes it the right base for campaign graphics, patterns and photographic designs.
What You Get For Specifying This Model
- Digital printing across all eight panels turns the whole canopy into the artwork.
- Colour fibreglass ribs mean the frame is visible and on-brand from underneath.
- Two sizes let the same design run as a standard and a larger version.
- Auto open on a straight shaft gives a clean, single-movement open.
- The curved plastic handle hooks over an arm or a hook, which people expect on a straight umbrella.
Buyers Who Specify It
- Marketing teams running artwork-led campaigns
- Retail and cultural institutions with a design range
- Distributors quoting full coverage printed umbrellas
What Goes Wrong Without It
- One-panel logo printing wastes seven eighths of the canopy.
- A black frame under a designed canopy cheapens the finished product.
- Photographic and gradient artwork cannot be reproduced by silk-screen alone.
Where It Ends Up
- Campaign and seasonal graphic umbrellas
- Museum, gallery and cultural retail
- Brand pattern merchandise
- Hotel and venue branded umbrellas

Getting The Most Out Of It
Step 1
Press the button with the canopy clear of faces and let the spring do the work.
Step 2
Close by pushing the runner down and rolling the panels in the printed order.
Step 3
Dry open so the printed panels do not stay pressed together while damp.
Step 4
Avoid dragging the printed canopy across rough surfaces.
Questions About This Model
Can you print photographs and gradients?
Yes. Digital printing across the eight panels is what this model is built for, which is how photographic and gradient artwork is reproduced.
Does the artwork line up across the seams?
Panels are printed with bleed and sewn to align. Fine detail crossing a seam will always show a small step, so we lay out critical elements within a panel.
Can the ribs be a different colour from the shaft?
Yes. Ribs and shaft are specified separately, so they can match or contrast.
Which size should we choose?
23 inch is the everyday carrying size. 27 inch gives more coverage and a larger printed area, and is the usual choice when the artwork is the point of the product.
