Wholesale 16-rib manual business folding umbrella with black UV-coated pongee, fiberglass ribs, steel shaft, and solid wood handle.
This 16-rib manual folding umbrella is designed for corporate gift suppliers, importers, retail private-label programs, hotels, and promotional distributors. The three-fold format uses a black UV-coated canopy and solid wood handle to create a business-oriented umbrella with a more substantial frame than standard compact models.
The canopy is made from pongee fabric, while sixteen fiberglass ribs and a steel center shaft provide a supportive folding structure. Manual opening and closing keep the mechanism straightforward and easy to maintain. Buyers can compare this model with our compact umbrellas, wooden handle umbrellas, sun umbrellas, and rain umbrellas.
Standard options include Business Black and Navy. Custom canopy colors, wood tones, logo placement, branded sleeves, and retail packaging can be reviewed for qualified wholesale and OEM orders.

Wholesale 16-Rib Manual Folding Umbrella with Black UV and Wood Handle targets travel retail, commuter collections, employee gifts, hotel amenities, and promotional programs where portability is the main purchase driver.
A compact umbrella can fail commercially even when it looks correct. The folding sequence, closing action, canopy recovery, runner travel, handle grip, and sleeve dimensions determine whether customers keep using it after the first rain.
What folded length is practical for a compact umbrella?
Many travel and pocket programs use a folded length around 18 to 23 cm, but the best target depends on the bag, pocket, or packaging the product must fit. Measure the complete folded umbrella and sleeve together before approving the tooling and packaging.
How many folds should a compact umbrella have?
Three-fold umbrellas balance compact size and canopy coverage. Five-fold umbrellas pack smaller but use more joints and a more complex folding sequence. Choose based on the target bag, retail price, and the amount of mechanism complexity the market will accept.
