Product Overview

This compact sun umbrella is designed for daily commuting, travel, and promotional programs. Six fiberglass ribs and an aluminum alloy shaft keep the structure light while supporting the 210T pongee canopy, which is finished with a black UV coating for UPF 50+ sun protection.

Key Features

  • 6 fiberglass ribs and aluminum alloy shaft — a lightweight frame for easy everyday carrying.
  • 210T pongee with black UV coating — UPF 50+ protection with a smooth, light-blocking finish.
  • Compact folding design — suitable for handbags, backpacks, commuter bags, and travel.
  • Semi-automatic opening and automatic closing — convenient one-button operation.
  • Rubber handle — a practical grip for daily use.
  • Custom branding available — logo printing, OEM/ODM development, and custom packaging are supported.

Available Colors and Packing

Color options include Paulownia Beige, Peach Pink, Cool Fragrance Green, Sky Blue, Mist Grey, and Starry Black. Manual-open and automatic variants are available. Standard packing is 60 pieces per master carton, with an approximate unit weight of 206 g.

Why weight is the specification that matters here

A sun umbrella is held for far longer than a rain umbrella. On a commute or a day outdoors, the canopy is open for extended periods, so the weight that matters is not the folded weight in a bag but the weight carried at arm’s length. This model is specified with a six-rib fiberglass frame and an aluminium alloy shaft specifically to keep that number down. Six ribs are fewer than the ten used on the larger folding formats, and on a mid-size sun canopy that reduction is what delivers the “super light” positioning without making the canopy feel unstable.

Black UV coating and what it changes

The 210T pongee canopy is finished with a black UV coating rated UPF 50+. A black coating applied to the underside blocks light transmission more effectively than a light-coloured untreated fabric, and it also changes the character of the canopy: the six colourways read as muted rather than bright. Paulownia Beige, Peach Pink, Cool Fragrance Green, Sky Blue, Mist Grey, and Starry Black all keep a soft, wearable tone under a coated finish. Manual-open and automatic options are both listed against this model, so the same canopy specification can be quoted into two different price bands.

Handle, branding, and packaging

A rubber handle is specified for grip when the umbrella is carried for long periods. Logo printing, Pantone colour matching, OEM/ODM development, and custom packaging are supported. Because this format is often bought for employee and promotional programmes, sleeve and carton specification are usually agreed at the same time as the canopy colour.

Specifying 6-Rib Ultra-Light Automatic Folding Umbrella for a repeatable umbrella program

6-Rib Ultra-Light Automatic Folding Umbrella 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.

Best-fit applications

  • Travel retail, airport, convenience, and commuter programs.
  • Employee welcome kits, conference gifts, and promotional giveaways.
  • Compact private-label collections with multiple colourways and prints.

Specification priorities

  • Model / Item No.: 012
  • Fabric: 210T pongee with black UV coating (UPF 50+) Lightweight fabrics reduce packed weight, but print sharpness and water behaviour still need to match the intended price point.
  • Frame: 6 fiberglass ribs; aluminum alloy shaft Fold count, rib material, and joint quality determine folded size, durability, and the amount of force needed to close the umbrella.
  • Handle: Rubber Compact handles should remain comfortable without making the folded product too bulky for a pocket, pouch, or gift box.
  • Opening System: Semi-automatic opening; automatic closing
  • Available Colors: Paulownia Beige, Peach Pink, Cool Fragrance Green, Sky Blue, Mist Grey, Starry Black; manual-open and automatic options
  • Customization: Logo printing, OEM/ODM, color matching, custom packaging

What to confirm before bulk production

  • Measure folded length and packed diameter against the actual bag or retail fixture.
  • Test the folding sequence, closing pressure, canopy recovery, and sleeve fit after repeated use.
  • Confirm frame stability, tip protection, handle durability, and carton quantities for efficient distribution.

Buyer questions about this product type

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.

How the 6-rib super-light model differs

This product focuses on low carry weight and automatic operation. The related black-coated compact-series model is the closer promotional option, while the 5-fold models focus on a smaller folded package rather than the same automatic format.

Frequently asked questions

What does super-light mean for this umbrella?

It refers to a construction aimed at reducing carry weight through the shaft, ribs, canopy and handle combination. Buyers should confirm the target weight, wind behaviour and frame durability together.

Is automatic opening suitable for a lightweight umbrella?

Yes, but the mechanism adds components and affects weight. The sample should be checked for opening force, return action, runner alignment and repeated-cycle durability.

How does this model compare with the black-coated compact series?

Both target daily carry. This model emphasises the stripped-down super-light specification, while the compact-series model provides another frame, coating and promotional configuration.
