Case study

Event merch that became a brand moment for Legl

Legl wanted giveaways that drew people to their stand and had a story behind them. So they swapped high volumes of standard freebies for a smaller range of premium merch: bamboo notebooks, branded artisan chocolate and power banks built to last.

The merch acted as a real conversation starter. People were drawn to the stand and curious to hear the story behind the products. We noticed higher footfall, more meaningful conversations and a greater number of follow-ups post-event compared to previous years.

Sustainability rating

Every product graded, and we show our working

Most suppliers put an eco label on part of their range without saying what earns it. We check every product against five criteria, and the number it meets sets its grade. This marketplace lists the products that meet at least two.

  • Eco-Friendly Materials Plus
  • Eco-Friendly Materials
  • Upcycling
  • Responsible Manufacturing
  • Positive Supply Chain Impact
  • AA4 or 5 criteria metMeets almost everything we look for
  • A3 criteria metStrong on materials and on how it was made
  • B2 criteria metClears our bar on two independent counts
  • C1 criterion metOne point in its favour, and no more. We only sell this if no viable alternatives are available.
  • D0 criteria metNothing we can evidence. We don't sell this.

Questions? We've got you covered

The range covers golf umbrellas with large vented canopies, executive walking and city umbrellas, and compact folding umbrellas that fit in a bag. Most have windproof fibreglass frames and automatic open mechanisms. Choose a golf size for the biggest print area or a folding umbrella for a giveaway people carry every day.

Many are. A meaningful share of the range uses recycled rPET fabric for the canopy, woven from recycled polyester rather than virgin plastic, and several lines are made from recycled drinks bottles. Some carry the AWARE tracer, which verifies the genuine recycled content. We list the specific material on each product so you can see exactly what makes it greener.

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate, the same plastic used in drinks bottles. The bottles are collected, cleaned and spun into a polyester yarn that is woven into the umbrella canopy, which gives the same water resistance as a standard canopy while diverting plastic from landfill.

Umbrellas are printed across the canopy panels. The common options are screen print in one to three colours over one, two, four or eight panels, full-colour print for detailed or photographic logos, and all-over sleeve printing for maximum coverage. The artwork and panel layout for each product is confirmed at the quote stage.

Vector artwork is preferred, ideally EPS, AI or PDF, though a high-resolution PNG or JPG can usually be worked with. A visual proof of how your logo will sit on the umbrella is provided for sign-off before anything goes into production.

Most of the range is built to handle UK weather. Fibreglass ribs flex in gusts rather than snapping, and many golf and walking styles use a vented or double canopy that lets wind pass through. A more wind-resistant frame also lasts longer, which is better value and reduces replacements.

Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by umbrella style and print method, and the figures shown on each product are a guide. Some lines are available in small quantities while large branded runs take longer to produce. We confirm the exact minimum and turnaround for your chosen umbrella when you request a quote.

Branded umbrellas that put your logo over everyone's head

A printed umbrella is one of the highest-impression promotional products you can give. It travels into town centres, train platforms and golf courses, carrying your logo across a full canopy that people actually want to keep and reuse. Our range covers the styles a corporate buyer needs, from large vented golf umbrellas to executive walking umbrellas and pocket-sized folding umbrellas, with windproof fibreglass frames and automatic open mechanisms across most of the collection.

Materials and the recycled story

The clearest sustainability win here is the canopy. A meaningful and growing share of the range uses recycled rPET fabric, woven from recycled polyester rather than virgin plastic, and many of those canopies are made from recycled drinks bottles. Some lines carry the AWARE™ tracer, which verifies the genuine recycled content rather than relying on a vague label. A small number of lines pair the canopy with a bamboo handle, and most frames use fibreglass ribs that flex in the wind instead of snapping, so the umbrella lasts longer and is replaced less often. We describe the specific material on each product so you can choose with confidence rather than guesswork.

Decoration and how branding works

Umbrellas are branded across the canopy panels. The usual options are screen print in one to three colours across one, two, four or eight panels, full-colour print for detailed logos, and all-over sleeve printing for maximum coverage. Larger golf canopies give the biggest print area; compact folding umbrellas suit a clean single-colour logo.
