Raincoat and Umbrella Models: Promotional and Corporate Solutions

Rain often hits at the worst possible moment: at the exit of a trade fair, during a shift change on a construction site, or when a guest is getting into a taxi at a hotel entrance. Our Raincoats & Umbrellas category was created to help you be ready for these moments. Here you will find a wide range, from walking sticks and folding rain umbrellas suitable for personal use, to promotional raincoats distributed at events, work raincoats for field teams working outdoors, and accessories such as high-visibility vests, work boots and work gloves. We apply the experience gained from producing garden and café umbrellas to our corporate orders with logo printing as well.

What Is in the Raincoats & Umbrellas Category?

The category is divided into three main groups according to intended use. To determine which group you should look at, we recommend first considering who will hold the product, in what environment it will be used, and how often. An umbrella a bank gives to its customers as a gift and a raincoat worn by a construction company's night shift are not selected using the same criteria.

The cards below briefly summarize the key features of each group. You can find detailed selection guides on the relevant subcategory pages.

Choosing the Right Product for Corporate and Promotional Use

The most common mistake in corporate purchasing is deciding based solely on unit cost. However, the main purpose of a promotional product is to make your brand visible; an umbrella that breaks after a few uses leaves a negative impression of your brand as well. For this reason, when choosing a logo-printed umbrella or raincoat, consider your target audience, how long the product will be used, and how visible the print will be together.

For example, for a gift to top-level clients, a protocol umbrella with a wide canopy and a sturdy frame, or an elegant walking stick umbrella, is the right choice. For a product to be distributed to thousands of participants in a city run, a disposable raincoat that is lightweight, easy to pack and suitable for single use makes more sense. In in-between scenarios, such as dealer meetings or staff gifts, a folding umbrella or a reusable PVC raincoat offers a good balance.

Logo Printing and Made-to-Order Production

Akbrella is a manufacturer that has adopted made-to-order production as its core way of working. For umbrellas, we work with size, color, fabric and logo options; we apply the same approach to our corporate rain products. For corporate umbrella and raincoat orders, we plan logo placement, print color and product color together according to your brand identity.

When planning the print, we recommend paying attention to a few points. On umbrellas, the logo is usually applied to one or several panels of the canopy; the number and width of the panels determine how large the logo will appear. On raincoats, the back is the largest print area, while the chest area is suitable for a smaller and more refined application. Logos with thin lines or very small text may lose legibility on flexible and curved surfaces; in such designs, using a simplified version gives better results.

1. Determine the purpose of useIs the product a gift, an event giveaway, or personnel equipment? This decision directly determines the model group.
2. Finalize the quantity and delivery dateFor logo-printed orders, the average production time is 15–25 business days. Plan backward from the event date.
3. Prepare your logo fileA logo in vector format (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) is the best starting point for a clean print.
4. Approve the color and placementWe determine together the contrast between the product color and print color, and the panel or area where the logo will be placed.
5. Plan the deliveryShipping is made across Türkiye by cargo or freight; if you prefer, you can collect your order from the factory yourself.

Material and Durability: What Should You Look For?

Durability in rain products is judged at different points depending on the product group. For umbrellas, the frame and fabric are decisive, while for raincoats, material thickness and seam construction are what matter.

When choosing a rain umbrella, look at the number of ribs, the material of the ribs and the water-repellent quality of the canopy fabric. Fiberglass ribs bend in the wind and return to their original shape, which is an advantage for city use; metal ribs offer a more rigid structure. On the handle side, an ergonomic grip and the reliability of the opening mechanism (automatic or manual) make a noticeable difference in daily use.

For raincoats, PVC raincoats are thicker than disposable models and are designed for repeated use. Details such as taped seams, an adjustable hood, lining and reflective strips determine comfort and safety on site for workwear raincoats. For products worn over long periods, breathability and freedom of movement should also not be overlooked.

Tips for care, storage and a long service life

A properly stored umbrella or raincoat can be used for much longer than you might expect. Putting an umbrella in its case while it is still wet can lead to mold and odor in the fabric and rust on the metal parts. After use, the healthiest method is to dry the umbrella open or half-open, then fold it and place it in its case.

Dry raincoats by hanging them in the same way; PVC surfaces left folded while damp can stick together. On reflective products, washing and ironing at high heat can damage the reflective strips' ability to reflect light, so always follow the care instructions on the product label. Instead of drying work boots near a radiator or stove, dry them at room temperature with paper stuffed inside, which extends the life of the sole and the material.
