Promotional Umbrellas

Promotional Umbrellas

Every day companies are looking for new and interesting promotional give-away items to help promote their company and their brand.  Promotional Umbrellas can be a fantastic item for consideration due to their lengthy shelf life and their usefulness.

If you think about what the marketing execs at a company want the most … brand recognition, you’ll quickly see how having Promotional Umbrellas as part of their give-away item strategy can be very helpful in achieving long term brand recognition.

Umbrellas don’t tend to be discarded that often.  In fact, if they aren’t damaged, Promotional Umbrellas will stick around for years.  And while it may not rain every day, at least not in your state, every time it does, and your Promotional Umbrellas are popped open to reveal your company logo, it’s another reminder for the customer that you are a quality brand and a company that they want to work with.

Promotional Umbrellas

Promotional Umbrellas from AMBRO Manufacturing are high quality umbrellas that bear a company’s logo in one or two places.  The typical Promotional Umbrellas project includes an 8 panel umbrella with two panels opposite of each other, showing a 2 color logo.

The standard logo size is 10” x 6” and is generally printed in 1 or 2 colors, although up to 4 colors can be used.

When selecting the appropriate contract screen printing partner to work with on your Promotional Umbrellas project, you will want to be sure that they have worked with multi-color nylon printing before, specifically waterproof nylon, which does not accept standard screen printing inks.

You will also want to ensure that they are familiar with printing on constructed umbrellas.  Many screen printers are used to printing on flat surfaces, where as you know, umbrellas tend to have … well … an umbrella shape.

Four Color Process Screen Printing

Four Color Process Screen Printing

There are a few options for designers when considering a multiple color, photo realistic T-Shirt or other garment.  The primary process is Four Color Process Screen Printing with Simulated Four Color Process Screen Printing as a second option and Sublimation Printing as a third option.

Four Color Process Screen Printing

The process of Four Color Process Screen Printing is typically used on a white shirt to create photo realistic results.  An experienced screen printer like AMBRO Manufacturing will work with your design team to develop the color separations for your Four Color Process Screen Printing project.

Artwork in a JPG, BMP, PNG or other common format is separated into CMYK values and using specialized separation software, sequences of print are calculated to achieve the multi color result.

Once the color separations are completed, and the screens are burned, your screen printer can begin printing your Four Color Process Screen Printing just like any other screen print job.  The main differences in Four Color Process Screen Printing vs. traditional screen printing, is the type of inks used. 

Opaque / See Thru, inks are used in a 4 color process printing job.  This enables inks to lay on top of each other to create multiple colors out of 4 basic colors.  It is for this reason that the white background or white shirt is so critical.  White is one of the colors that is used to create the effect of the other colors.   Since the inks are opaque, the white base is a component of the color results.

If you need to have a shirt other than white for Four Color Process Screen Printing, then you will need to speak with your contract screen printer about using Simulated Four Color Process Screen Printing, which involves more than 4 colors.
