Two new automatic folding sun umbrellas have joined the wholesale range: the 23-inch 10-rib automatic folding sun umbrella with 2+1 gold frame and wide strap and the 8-rib automatic folding business sun umbrella with slim gold bar handle. Both are three-fold models built on a 210T pongee canopy with a black UV coating, and both use the same one-button opening and closing system, so buyers can offer two frame and handle options within a single collection.
Why these two configurations were added
Buyers sourcing folding umbrellas for corporate gifting, hotel amenities, banking promotions, or retail private label usually need more than one price point. A 10-rib frame answers briefs that ask for a wider canopy and a stronger frame, while an 8-rib frame answers briefs that put unit weight and freight cost first.
Instead of developing two unrelated products, we kept the same model number and the same canopy specification and offered two frame and handle configurations. Buyers can review the compact folding umbrella category and the UPF sun umbrella category to compare these models with other formats, or browse the full wholesale umbrella catalog.
23-inch 10-rib model with 2+1 gold frame and wide strap
The first configuration uses ten fiberglass ribs on a 2+1 gold frame with a steel shaft. A higher rib count spreads canopy load across more attachment points, which is the reason this version is positioned for commuter, executive gift, and premium promotional programs rather than as a light giveaway item.
The canopy is 210T pongee with a black UV coating rated UPF 50+, and the open diameter is approximately 96 to 106 cm. The umbrella folds into a 23-inch three-fold format and uses semi-automatic opening with automatic closing from a single button. A wide strap keeps the folded umbrella secure inside a bag.
Six standard colors are available: Velvet Pink, Evening Wave Blue, Paulownia Beige, Starry Black, Moon Purple, and Morning Mist Green. The model packs 60 pieces per master carton at approximately 450 g per unit, with a fabric sleeve and OPP bag as standard packing.
8-rib business model with slim gold bar handle
The second configuration keeps the same canopy and the same opening system but reduces the frame to eight fiberglass ribs and replaces the strap with a slim gold bar handle. At approximately 330 g per unit it is about 120 g lighter than the 10-rib version, which matters when a program is priced by freight weight or shipped in large promotional volumes.
The three-fold structure, the steel shaft, and the 210T pongee canopy with black UV coating stay the same, so the sun protection rating and the printing method do not change between the two models. Available colors include Evening Wave Blue, Sweet Rice White, Business Black, Morning Mist Green, and Velvet Pink. This version also packs 60 pieces per master carton.
How to choose between the two
Choose the 10-rib model when the brief emphasizes a wider canopy, a stronger frame, or a premium business gift presentation with a wide strap. Choose the 8-rib model when the priority is a lower unit weight, a slimmer handle, and a more competitive landed cost for a high-volume promotion.
Because both models share the canopy fabric and the opening mechanism, a buyer can offer them as a two-tier option in one collection without changing the logo application method or the packaging specification. Our guide to umbrella wind resistance explains what buyers should verify about rib count and frame structure before ordering. Programmes that need a reflective silver coating rather than gold trim can add the 8-rib silver-coated folding sun umbrella in green to the same collection.
Custom logo and OEM options
Both configurations support logo printing on the canopy, custom color development, branded sleeves, woven labels, hang tags, and retail packaging. Frame and handle details can be adjusted for custom umbrella and OEM/ODM programs, and buyers who are comparing handle styles can review our umbrella handle selection guide.
What buyers should confirm before ordering
Approve the canopy color, the UV coating finish, the gold frame or handle finish, the logo position, and the sleeve or gift box on a physical sample. For coated fabrics it also helps to agree on a color reference and check it under both indoor and outdoor light.
Our guide to choosing umbrella fabric for wholesale and private-label programs covers how canopy material and coating choices affect the finished product. For repeat orders, keep the approved sample, color reference, artwork file, and packaging specification together so production can be checked against the same standard. Our umbrella quality control checklist for wholesale orders lists the main inspection points.
