How to choose
Start with where the gear will live — that's the part we enjoy most about a weather brief. A conference umbrella that walks five minutes from venue to hotel is a different product to a golf umbrella standing in a downpour on a Melbourne tee. For event and delegate gifting, a compact 21-inch auto-open umbrella in 190T pongee with a 1-2 colour screen print sits beautifully at AU$8-$14 per unit at 100qty. For premium gifting, step to a 30-inch golf umbrella with a fibreglass frame, wooden handle and tone-on-tone canopy — the weight tells the story before the logo does. Ponchos and rain jackets are where the creative brief really plays. Disposable festival ponchos in recyclable PE suit high-volume activations at under AU$3; reusable 210T polyester ponchos with printed hoods and drawstring pouches land around AU$12-$22 and feel like considered merchandise. For rain jackets, embroidery on the chest reads as premium; full-colour heat transfer on the back panel carries the campaign across a festival field. Branding method matters. Umbrellas are typically screen-printed one panel at a time, so a 1-2 colour logo on two opposing panels is the clean, cost-effective choice. Edge-to-edge sublimation across every panel opens full-colour pattern work — the right call when the canopy is the campaign. On jackets, embroidery holds through wash cycles; digital transfer suits photographic or gradient artwork. On MOQ: most branded umbrellas start at 25-50 units, ponchos from 100, and rain jackets from 25-50 depending on fabric. Bulk rollouts for national campaigns drop 25-40% from the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250 and 500. For eco-minded briefs, our rPET shell umbrellas and recycled-polyester ponchos carry the sustainability story credibly, with recycled packaging to match. Always order a sample. Frame strength, canopy weight and the way a handle sits in the hand are decided in 30 seconds of holding the real thing — never on a spec sheet.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-colour panel print, a compact auto-open umbrella sits around AU$8-$14, a mid-size umbrella AU$12-$22, and a 30-inch golf umbrella AU$18-$35. Reusable branded ponchos land AU$12-$22 at 100qty, rain jackets AU$28-$55. At 500 units expect 25-40% off. Full-panel sublimation adds AU$2-$5 per unit. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off. Embroidery on jackets adds AU$2-$4 per unit with a one-time digitising fee around AU$55.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for branded umbrellas and rain gear?▾
Most branded umbrellas start at 25-50 units, reusable ponchos from 100, and rain jackets from 25-50 depending on fabric and branding. Disposable PE ponchos for large activations typically start at 500. For bulk rollouts above 2,000, expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000.
How long does branded rain and weather gear take to produce and deliver?▾
Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many core umbrella and poncho lines are branded in 1-4 business days, with 3-5 day express available on 400+ SKUs. For weather-triggered rollouts we can often courier same-week on stocked decorated umbrellas from our Sydney warehouse.
What branding methods work best on umbrellas and rain jackets?▾
Umbrella canopies are screen-printed panel by panel, so 1-2 colour logos on one or two panels are the clean, cost-effective choice. Edge-to-edge sublimation across every panel unlocks full-colour pattern work. On rain jackets, embroidery reads as premium and survives wash cycles; digital heat transfer suits photographic or gradient artwork on back panels.
Can I see a sample before I commit to a branded umbrella run?▾
Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your artwork are available on larger runs. Frame strength, canopy weight and the way a handle sits in the hand are decided in seconds of holding the real thing — never on a spec sheet alone.
Do you offer eco-friendly umbrellas and rain gear?▾
Yes. Our eco range includes rPET shell umbrellas made from recycled plastic bottles, recycled-polyester ponchos, and rain jackets in bluesign-certified fabrics. Recycled packaging and FSC paper hang tags are available on request, so the sustainability story holds from canopy to carry pouch.
Which umbrella style suits conferences versus golf days versus retail gifting?▾
Compact 21-inch auto-open umbrellas suit conferences and delegate packs — light in the bag, fast to open. 30-inch golf umbrellas with fibreglass frames and wooden handles are the premium AGM and corporate gift piece. Inverted umbrellas with reverse-close canopies are the style retail customers actually keep — a smart gift-with-purchase for winter campaigns.
