Golf umbrellas stand out for their large size, durability, and stylish design. Originally made for golfers needing wide coverage on open courses, they are now popular for city rainstorms, outdoor events, and as custom promotional umbrellas.

Sizes range from 25" to 34", like 27"x8K or 30"x8K, where “K” is the number of ribs. More ribs mean better wind resistance and stability, protecting users and gear from sun and rain.

Canopies use 190T nylon silver or 190T PG (pongee) fabrics. Silver nylon repels water, blocks UV rays, and keeps colors bright. PG fabric is soft and elegant. Frames evolved from heavy metal ribs to light, strong fiberglass or hybrids. Handles vary: EVA foam, plastic, wood, or metal, combining comfort and style.

Styles include manual straight-handle, automatic open, and two-fold compact models (less wind-resistant but portable).

Besides golf, they’re great as corporate gifts and for outdoor activities like hiking or picnics due to size and wind resistance.

Proper care—drying, storing in sleeves, and avoiding sun exposure—ensures long-lasting use from trusted umbrella factories.

Guangdong plays a key role in China’s umbrella industry. With its strategic location, solid manufacturing base, and focus on innovation, it has built a strong and distinct industrial ecosystem.

Since the last century, parts of Guangdong began producing umbrellas, supported by the Pearl River Delta’s light industry. Many umbrella factories initially focused on OEM exports. With skilled craftsmanship, reliable quality, and competitive pricing, Guangdong-made umbrellas quickly reached markets in Europe, the U.S., and Southeast Asia.

Over time, a full supply chain developed—from quality canopy fabrics and strong frames to design, production, and global sales. Today, the region offers a wide range of products, such as custom golf umbrellas, promotional umbrellas, and clear umbrellas in bulk.

Innovation remains central. Many companies now use automated cutting machines to boost accuracy and efficiency. New materials have made umbrella frames lighter and tougher. On the design side, brands offer more variety—from LED-lit or auto open-close umbrellas to cultural styles inspired by Lingnan heritage, appealing to fans of unique umbrellas.

E-commerce and livestream selling help Guangdong umbrellas reach wider audiences. Local industry clusters also strengthen cooperation in sourcing, R&D, and logistics.

Looking ahead, Guangdong’s umbrella makers will keep advancing in technology, design, and sustainability—ensuring lasting global impact.

On June 12, 2025, Blueprint Umbrella factory hosted an email review sharing session at its Shenzhen office. We invited companies producing diverse products from the Chamber of Commerce to observe this session, led by our foreign trade team. The session covered the entire umbrella inquiry process on Alibaba, from visitor marketing and analyzing store traffic to crafting inquiry responses. Our team demonstrated recommending suitable umbrella products based on email content, customer feedback, and regional needs, plus optimizing follow-up strategies.

Here's a brief introduction to Blueprint Umbrella factory: Blueprint Umbrella Co., Ltd. is a BSCI, ISO9001, and SMETA verified factory with over 20 years of specialization in the middle and top-tier umbrella market. We primarily manufacture advertising umbrellas and gift umbrellas, including two-fold, three-fold, four-fold, five-fold, and six-fold umbrellas, straight umbrellas, golf umbrellas, and children's umbrellas.

Participants left the umbrella-focused sharing session with valuable insights and shared their key takeaways.

At the 2nd China (Songxia) Umbrella Culture and Creativity Expo, the umbrella industry showcased innovations blending modern culture, eco-awareness, and technology with traditional Chinese elements.

The reverse folding umbrella folds inward, protecting fabric and preventing dripping—ideal for getting into cars or indoors.

Another highlight was the power bank umbrella, featuring a 2000mAh battery in the handle and a dual-headed cable for Apple and Android devices—perfect for rainy-day charging.

Design-wise, umbrellas from Dongshi Town, Fujian, used oil painting and scenic patterns, replacing dull geometry and gaining popularity in Europe and the U.S. Others featured traditional elements like the 24 solar terms and five elements, in collaboration with museums. High-end handles made of gemstone copper, enamel, and metal added luxury, with some umbrellas priced over 1,000 yuan overseas.

Material innovation also shined. Nano fabrics offer excellent waterproofing—water rolls off instantly—but support only solid colors due to tech limits.

Eco-friendly transparent umbrellas made from recyclable PVC or POE and reusable frames are fully recyclable and highly water-resistant, popular in Japan and South Korea.

The expo reflected the industry’s advances in materials, design, and function—signaling a shift toward more creative, diverse, and sustainable development.
