Yes. The 200pcs MOQ applies per color variant. For example, you could order 200 black + 200 white umbrellas with the same logo design. We recommend consolidating colors where possible to optimize costs.

Yes, we strongly recommend ordering a pre-production sample. Standard sample cost ranges from $30-80 per piece depending on complexity, plus shipping. 3D printed creative parts samples start from $50. Sample costs are typically credited back on bulk orders over 1,000 pcs. Sample production takes 7-10 days.

Customization & Design

Almost everything can be customized: canopy fabric (color, pattern, material), frame color, handle design (including 3D printed custom shapes), tip and cap design, logo printing method and position, packaging design, and accessories like carry sleeves or gift boxes. We offer Pantone color matching for precise brand color reproduction.

Screen Printing — Best for simple logos with 1-4 colors. Most cost-effective for bulk. Digital/Heat Transfer — Full color, photo-quality. Great for complex designs. Embroidery — Premium look, best for text logos on single-color panels. Sublimation — All-over print that covers the entire canopy. Unlimited colors. We will recommend the best method based on your design and budget.

Yes. We support logo printing, Pantone color matching, handle design, labels, packaging, and other details to match your brand.

3D printing allows us to create umbrella handles, tips, and caps in shapes that are impossible to achieve with traditional injection molding. You can have handles shaped like your product, logo, mascot, or any custom design. We use industrial-grade materials (PLA, ABS, nylon, resin) with various surface finishes.

Shipping & Payment

T/T Bank Transfer — 30% deposit, 70% before shipment. PayPal — for sample orders and small amounts. Western Union — for sample orders. Trade Assurance (Alibaba) — optional buyer protection. L/C (Letter of Credit) — for orders over $10,000.
