A 23-inch three-fold business umbrella developed for corporate gifting, promotional campaigns, and private-label retail programs. The 10-rib fiberglass frame is paired with a steel shaft for stable support, while the 210T pongee canopy uses a black UV coating for sun and rain protection.

This model shares the 105 cm, 23-inch ten-rib platform used across the business folding range: ten fiberglass ribs for even canopy loading, a steel shaft and steel rib components for rigidity, and a folded length that fits a briefcase, a door pocket, or a bag. Where it differs from its siblings is the colourway and the handle. Sky Blue sits at the light end of the six-colour range, which makes it a natural fit for hospitality, travel retail, and corporate programmes that want a cooler, less formal tone than black or charcoal.
The canopy is 210T pongee with a black UV coating rated UPF 50+. Applying a dark coating beneath a light shell colour is a common construction precisely because it lets a buyer keep a pale outer face while still blocking transmitted light — the coating does the UV work, the shell colour does the branding work. The opening system is semi-automatic opening with automatic closing, which is practical for commuter use.
Six colourways are specified: Sky Blue, Morning Mist Green, Mist Grey, Peach Pink, Obsidian Black, and Paulownia Beige. This model also lists a shorter production lead time of 15–25 days after sample approval, which is faster than most of the range and makes it a reasonable choice when a programme has a fixed delivery date. Logo printing, Pantone colour matching, OEM/ODM development, and custom packaging are supported, and other folding formats are listed under compact umbrella.
15–25 days after sample approval, before shipping.
The coating is on the underside, so the outer face keeps the specified shell colour.
Semi-automatic opening with automatic closing, operated with the button.
23 Inch 10-Rib Automatic Folding Business Umbrella – Sky Blue 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.
