Custom-printed umbrellas for any weather

Staying dry and stylish whatever the weather

With blizzards of snow chilling the nation, it goes without saying that keeping dry is pretty important. It seems like only last week we were seeing blue skies and warmer weathers, and now it looks like Hoth is on the other side of the window. The point I’m clumsily trying to make is that umbrellas are a perfect promotional gift, no matter what time of year.

The British weather is unpredictable, so help keep your customers or colleagues protected from the elements with custom printed parasols from Sycal.

Not only does 2023 mark our 40th birthday, but also the 40th anniversary of the first umbrella we ever manufactured. A lot has changed over the last four decades, but the demand for quality custom-printed umbrellas has never wavered.

With an average of 156 days of rainfall each year in the UK, there isn’t a bad time to be putting a custom-branded umbrella into the hands of your customers.

Golf, Midsize, or Mini

For over a decade, promotional umbrellas have been an incredibly popular merchandise option for a wide range of demographics. With almost unparalleled practicality in wet and windy weather, as well as the opportunity to showcase your organisation’s logo, branding, or artwork, umbrellas are perfect for boosting brand recognition.

Whether they’re being used as corporate gifts, employee giveaways, hospitality tools, or branded for resale, take a look at some of our most popular promotional umbrella options.

Our umbrellas are available in three distinct variations: Golf umbrellas, midsize umbrellas, and mini umbrellas (also known as telescopic umbrellas). Each with its own distinct promotional and practical advantages.

Traditionally the tallest and widest umbrella style, golf umbrellas provide the most protection from the elements whilst offering the largest branding area to promote your organisation on the panels. With a length of around 30″ these umbrellas aren’t just for golf but can offer unparalleled cover for a wide range of demographics.

Sometimes, a golf umbrella might be a little too large or impractical, and that’s where the midsize brolly is perfect. With a very literal name, custom-branded midsize umbrellas offer protection from a downpour but are far more portable and practical. With a length of 23-25″, midsize umbrellas are a great promotional option for those looking for something smaller.

Also known as mini umbrellas, telescopic umbrellas are the most portable options available. With a length of 21″, these brollies can pop open and close using a telescopic mechanism, allowing it to retract into a pocket-size product. Supplied with a pouch; which can also be branded, mini umbrellas are designed to with practicality in mind.

With so many customisation options, custom branded umbrellas are a fantastic merchandise option.

Promotional umbrella customisation

Depending on the model selected, you can brand your promotional umbrella in countless ways! From the types of handles, shafts, ribs, or even the number of panels.

On the canopy itself, you can choose the colours of your brolly and brand them with your logo or marketing message. On some models, you can print the panels edge-to-edge with full-colour designs.

With vented options available, as well as windproof, stormproof, and reflective brollies, you can find the perfect promotional umbrella for your next marketing campaign.

If you’re looking for an eco-friendly twist in your branded merchandise, we can offer umbrellas with shafts manufactured from bamboo, as well as canopies made from recycled plastics.

A 2016 study by ASI found that 83% of umbrella recipients claimed that they would keep the product due to its useful nature. Future research found that customers keep branded umbrellas for an average of 14 months, which is nearly double that of other corporate gifts.

Over this period of time, custom-printed umbrellas generate over 1,300 impressions over their lifespan. Needless to say, umbrellas make your brand to stand out!
