Use one shortlist based on the buyer priority, not on the number of specifications in a catalogue. This model is most relevant when a smaller packed format and low carry weight matter more than the additional frame strength of a full-size umbrella.
| Buyer priority | What this model offers | What to confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Small packed size | Five-fold construction with a listed unit weight of approximately 0.195 kg. | Folded dimensions, pouch size and whether the closed umbrella fits the intended handbag, backpack pocket or retail display. |
| Daily sun protection | Black UV-coated pongee canopy with UPF 50+ listed in the supplied specification. | Protection wording for each approved colour, coating appearance and care instructions. |
| Promotional branding | Logo printing, custom colours, branded sleeves, woven labels, hang tags and retail packaging. | Print method, artwork size, colour count, packaging minimum and proof approval on the final fabric. |
| Lower carry weight | A 0.195 kg five-fold pocket platform for everyday portability. | Compare it with the 0.147 kg Model 012 three-fold platform, including packed length, opening feel and print area. |
A five-fold umbrella folds the canopy and ribs into a shorter closed package, which makes it relevant to travel retail, handbag programs, employee gifts and compact private-label ranges. The trade-off is a mechanism with more folding joints than a three-fold model, so sample checks should consider the complete product rather than weight alone.
Six fibreglass ribs and a fibreglass centre shaft keep the frame light while giving the canopy a defined structure. Manual opening and closing keeps operation straightforward. For a buyer comparing several ultra-light platforms, test the closed length, opening effort, canopy tension and folded recovery side by side.
Start with the channel and the gift or retail price point. Screen printing can suit a clear one- or few-colour mark, while heat transfer can reproduce a more detailed design when the artwork and fabric are suitable. Keep the logo position away from tight fold lines and approve the proof on the actual black UV-coated pongee.
Packaging can change both presentation and carton efficiency. Confirm whether the program needs a plain fabric sleeve, printed sleeve, OPP bag, hang tag, gift box, barcode or market-specific label. Review the umbrella fabric and UV coating guide, then send the artwork, target colours and packing requirement together through the RFQ checklist.
The supplied specification lists approximately 0.195 kg per piece. Confirm the production tolerance and packed weight on the approval sample because handle, packaging and colour choices can affect the final unit weight.
The black UV-coated pongee canopy is listed at UPF 50+. If another canopy colour is selected, confirm the protection level and permitted claim on the approved fabric before publishing it.
A five-fold model is designed to fold into a shorter closed package through additional joints. A three-fold platform such as Model 012 may be lighter and simpler, but its packed length differs. Compare both samples on closed length, opening feel, canopy tension and logo area.
Yes. Logo printing, custom colours, branded sleeves, woven labels, hang tags and retail packaging can be quoted. Artwork position, colour count, material and packing minimums are confirmed on the proof and sample.

Ultra-Light 5-Fold Pocket Umbrella with Black UV Protection 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.
