SB - v.small quantity logo printed golf umbrellas wanted for my brother's birthday!

xadoc

Hiya,

Anyone got any bright ideas for where to go locally in Birmingham or on the web to get 1-3 golfing umbrellas printed with the logo of my brother's new company on?

I want to give them to him as a gift - I think he'd be chuffed.

Would need to be under £25 for however many (3 best, but will only get one if that's all I can afford).

Need to be of reasonably good quality. Not much point if they look shabby.

I'm struggling to find anywhere that can do it in a small enough quanitity.

Thanks!

Most companies would take that kind of money for the print setup charge, so I think you will struggle.

Promotional material just isnt economical in small quantities (I have tried to get stuff for myself with my company details on but it's not happening unless I want to fork out for larger quantities)

I know who sells what you are after, a really good quality company Sunderland.....

The e means it can be embroidered with a logo of your choice.
Great idea for a pressie.

Thanks for that, they look very swish, and more or less exactly what I'm after!:T

Have never heard of Sunderland of Scotland before... Doesn't look like they do web orders. I've emailed and asked where my nearest store is. Fingers crossed.

Anyone with any more ideas I'd really love to her from you.

I understand about the tooling cost, but you never know, there might be a small business somewhere that thinks they can do it, and I'm not averse to going down the embroidered route, which may cost less?

If the worst comes to the worst I could always buy some umbrellas and some of that iron-on t-shirt stuff... but I'd rather get it done properly.

Well, Sunderland have never replied to my email. Anyone with any better ideas?

involution ltd sent me a catologue I saw them first in Marketing magazine, very efficient anyway with e-mails and catologues and getting back to me. The price for T-Shirts seem fair not sure how competitive though

Thanks,

I ended up getting it done locally in the end by a small community enterprise. I bought the umbrella at TK Maxx for £5.99 (I had no idea how hard I'd have to search for a plain umbrella!), they tested the printing by using the umbrella sleeve (with my blessing) and were happy with it, so did the printing for £12 all-in (4 prints, one for each white panel).

I was happy enough, and my brother was over-the-moon.

Thanks for everyone who gave advice.

Should have said, I provided the logo in jpeg format by email.
