A-to-Z of Printing:"U" is for Umbrellas, Sun Shades, and Parasol Applications

Whatever the size of your customization business and the types of machines you own, there’s great profit potential in printing on umbrellas. From printing dye-sublimation designs, logos and patterns with Texart printers for personal umbrella products, to adding vinyl graphics to vinyl canopies and other heavy-duty outdoor umbrella products with TrueVIS printer/cutters, umbrellas represent a great source of revenue for sign and graphics providers. 

It’s also true that after 2020, and with many restaurants and other businesses moving their operations outdoors to provide outdoor services, printing on patio umbrellas and other outdoor applications has suddenly become a much more lucrative product in the sign and graphics industry. The following applications show some different umbrella products  you can add logos, custom patterns, messaging and personalized graphics to.
