A new model has joined our OEM custom umbrella range: the 23-Inch 10-Rib Automatic Folding Business Umbrella with UPF 50+ Black Coating. It is a three-fold automatic umbrella built for corporate gifting, promotional programs, and retail private-label collections that need a business-appropriate folding format.
What this new model offers
The umbrella combines a ten-rib fiberglass frame with a steel shaft, a 210T pongee canopy with a black UV coating, and a bronze brushed metal handle. The result is a folding umbrella that looks more formal than a standard promotional item while staying compact enough for daily commuting and travel.
Buyers building a multi-format program can compare it with the wider compact folding umbrella range and the UPF sun umbrella category, or review the complete wholesale umbrella catalog.
Ten-rib frame and steel shaft
Rib count is the clearest indicator of how a folding umbrella behaves in gusty weather. A ten-rib frame distributes canopy load across more attachment points than an eight-rib equivalent, so each rib carries less stress and the canopy holds a truer shape when it is pushed open against wind. Paired with a steel shaft, this is why the model is positioned for commuting and corporate gifting rather than as a light giveaway item.
Buyers who want to compare frame structures across folding and long-handle formats can review our guide to umbrella wind resistance before finalizing a specification.
210T pongee with UPF 50+ black UV coating
The canopy uses 210T pongee with a black UV coating that provides UPF 50+ protection and a matte, light-blocking finish. The open diameter is approximately 105 cm, which places the model in the middle of the folding range: larger than a five-fold 6K compact umbrella and smaller than a full long-handle format.
Our guide to choosing umbrella fabric for wholesale and private-label programs explains how canopy material and coating choices affect the finished product.
One-touch opening and bronze brushed handle
The umbrella opens automatically with a single button, which is practical in sudden rain and convenient for gift recipients who may not want to open a manual frame by hand. The handle is finished in bronze brushed metal for a business-appropriate look that suits executive gifts, hotel amenities, and banking or insurance promotions.
Handle finish and shape can be adjusted for OEM programs. Our umbrella handle selection guide covers the handle options buyers most often compare across folding and long-handle models.
Typical programs for this model
The 23-inch format suits programs that need one umbrella to work across several channels. Corporate gift buyers usually pair it with a branded sleeve or gift box, hotel and hospitality buyers often prefer the bronze handle for guest-facing presentation, and retail or lifestyle brands can use the eight standard colours to build a coordinated seasonal range.
Because the frame, canopy, and opening mechanism stay the same across the colour options, buyers can test several colours without changing the specification, the logo application method, or the packaging plan. That makes the model straightforward to extend into a second or third order once the first colourway is approved.

Custom logo and OEM options
The model supports canopy colour matching to Pantone references, logo artwork, woven labels, branded sleeves, gift boxes, and retail-ready packaging. It suits custom umbrella and OEM/ODM programs, and buyers can request a product mockup before sampling to confirm logo placement and colour direction.
What buyers should confirm before ordering
Approve the canopy colour, coating finish, handle plating, logo position, and packaging on a physical sample before bulk production. For coated fabrics it also helps to agree on a colour reference and check it under both indoor and outdoor light, because a black UV coating can shift slightly depending on the viewing angle.
Our umbrella quality control checklist for wholesale orders lists the main inspection points for folding umbrellas, and the RFQ checklist covers the information buyers should send for an accurate quotation.
