Quick answer: four new custom umbrella models have joined the factory line-up: an 8-rib automatic folding umbrella with a lock handle, a 6-rib 5-fold pocket umbrella at about 195 g, a 10-rib reflective edge folding umbrella with a faux wood handle, and a 6-rib 3-fold ultra-light folding umbrella at about 147 g. All four are in production and open to custom branding and packaging.
What is new in this batch
These four models do not fill the same slot. Two are built around weight, one around a fully automatic mechanism, and one around low-light visibility. That spread matters: a B2B range usually needs a value model, a premium-looking model and something that reads differently in a catalogue.
Each arrival is a platform rather than a finished offer. The base specification is fixed, and the buyer changes colour, logo, handle tone, coating and packing from there. The umbrella customization levels guide shows where each change sits between stock, modified stock and full OEM.
New model 1: 8-rib automatic folding umbrella with lock handle
The 8-rib automatic folding umbrella with lock handle is the workhorse. Eight fibreglass ribs and a steel centre shaft sit inside a double-keel three-fold frame, and the opening is fully automatic in both directions, so buyers get a compact business umbrella with no manual mechanism to explain. The canopy is black UV-coated pongee with UPF 50+ protection listed, and the three colours — lavender, sky blue and peach pink — suit gift and fashion ranges rather than corporate ones. Compare it with the compact umbrella and sun umbrella categories.
New model 2: 6-rib 5-fold ultra-light pocket umbrella
The 6-rib 5-fold ultra-light pocket umbrella weighs about 0.195 kg. Six fibreglass ribs and a fibreglass centre shaft keep the weight down, and the five-fold structure packs into a handbag or jacket pocket. Opening is manual, which is the right trade here: fewer moving parts, lower cost, and a mechanism a marketplace buyer can explain to their own customers. Two handle styles and nine colours are listed, so one order can carry a small assortment.
New model 3: 10-rib reflective edge folding umbrella with faux wood handle
The 10-rib reflective edge folding umbrella is the premium-looking option. Ten fibreglass ribs and a steel centre shaft support a 280T pongee canopy with a reflective binding edge, and the faux wood handle gives it the look gift and automotive buyers pay for. The opening is listed as semi-automatic with automatic closing and sectional retraction.
One detail needs care: the specification lists UV protection below UPF 40, so sell this model as a wind-resistant business rain umbrella, not a sun umbrella. Printing a protection claim the product cannot support is the fastest way to create a returns problem.
New model 4: 6-rib 3-fold ultra-light folding umbrella
The 6-rib 3-fold ultra-light folding umbrella weighs about 0.147 kg, the lightest of the four. Six fibreglass ribs and a fibreglass centre shaft hold a three-fold frame, opening manually, and the canopy is black UV-coated pongee with UPF 50+ protection listed. It sits below the 5-fold pocket model in weight and above it in folded size, so the two sit side by side in one export catalogue: one for the smallest pack, one for the lightest carry. The frame materials guide explains what fibreglass ribs and shafts change.
How to read the claims on a new model
A new arrival comes with a supplier attribute sheet, not a finished claim set. Before it goes into a listing, confirm the UV listing, the opening mechanism exactly as supplied, and the rib count on the production frame, then decide which claim the artwork may make. The umbrella fabric guide covers how coating and fabric grade affect what can be stated.
Customization options on a new arrival
All four models accept logo printing, OEM and ODM development, colour matching and custom packaging. Colour and logo changes reuse the platform, while a new handle mould, rib profile or canopy pattern needs tooling and follows the OEM process. The factory platform guide explains how much can be reused, and the packaging guide covers boxes, pouches and carton marks.

Frequently asked questions
Are these new models available for custom branding?
Yes. All four accept logo printing, OEM and ODM development, colour matching and custom packaging. Colour and logo changes reuse the existing platform; new tooling raises the entry quantity.
Which new model is best for a first B2B order?
Match the model to your market. Weight-led ranges suit the 5-fold pocket or 3-fold ultra-light models; business and gift programmes suit the 8-rib automatic or the 10-rib reflective edge model.
Can the reflective edge model be sold as a sun umbrella?
No. Its specification lists UV protection below UPF 40, so it should be positioned as a wind-resistant business rain umbrella.
How do I keep a reorder identical to the first run?
Keep the frozen specification, golden sample, artwork files and tooling records with the order, and re-approve any change to material, fit, function or appearance.
