PATENTS...
Our
waterproof cover umbrella is made from a single sheet of
material, which virtually eliminates the seams between panels
that are present in industry standard 8-panel umbrellas.
Without the vertical seams to contend with, we can print
full-size, continuous graphics that cover the entire umbrella
canopy, which before now has never been possible.
We have sold this product extensively in the newspaper industry
as a subscriber incentive. By imprinting a full color collegiate
sports logo over the entire canopy and placing the newspaper
name at the bottom of the panels, we have created a highly
unique product.
