A Complete Guide to Custom Umbrellas in Australia
When it comes to promotional products and uniform accessories, few items are as practical, or as versatile, as custom umbrellas.
At Uniform Link, we believe umbrellas are one of the smartest investments a school or business can make: they’re useful, long-lasting, and every time they’re opened, your logo is on display.
An added bonus? Umbrellas allow your students, staff, or clients to represent your brand with pride. Helping get your name out into the community in a professional, polished way.
Here are our top recommendations for the best umbrella types for schools, corporates, and branded events.
1. Golf Umbrella
Our pick for corporate events and sports teams.
Large and sturdy, golf umbrellas are designed for maximum coverage. They’re ideal as a corporate umbrella for executives moving between meetings, or as reliable school umbrellas for staff on sports days.
Their durability makes them one of the best corporate umbrellas for branding.
Handles are often wooden, rubber, or hook-shaped, giving a polished and professional finish. A golf umbrella with your logo is the ultimate custom umbrella for showcasing your brand in style.
2. Foldable Umbrella
Our pick for students and staff on the go.
Foldable umbrellas, whether folding or pocket-sized, are lightweight, practical, and easy to carry in handbags or backpacks. We recommend these as a versatile school umbrella option for students, or as a practical custom logo umbrella for businesses at events.
Handles are typically small and functional, often rubberised or plastic, sometimes with automatic open/close features. Their portability makes them one of the most popular styles of custom umbrellas for everyday use.
3. Wind-Resistant Umbrellas
Our premium custom umbrella pick for outdoor events.
Engineered with vented or double canopies, these umbrellas resist turning inside out, perfect for coastal schools and outdoor corporate events. The ergonomic rubber handles make them easy to carry. A wind-resistant corporate umbrella not only keeps your staff dry but ensures your branding is visible in all conditions.
4. UV / Sun-Protection Umbrellas
Our pick for summer events and businesses conducted outdoors.
With UPF-rated fabrics, these umbrellas are ideal for school carnivals or outdoor promotions. We recommend them for both school umbrellas and corporate umbrellas where sun safety is a priority.
5. Inverted Umbrellas (Reverse-Fold)
Our pick for offices and staff gifts.
These modern umbrellas fold inside out, trapping water inside to avoid wet floors. They’re excellent for corporate umbrellas in office settings and practical for teachers on school grounds. Straight or loop handles make them ergonomic, while branding transforms them into a standout custom logo umbrella.
