Case Study: Custom Double Canopy Golf Sports Umbrella for Empire Coach Builders

Empire Coach Builders, a prestigious manufacturer of luxury horseboxes, approached us to create a bespoke umbrella that would reflect their brand’s values of quality, tradition, and innovation. With over 50 years of experience in manufacturing, converting, and refurbishing horseboxes, Empire Coach Builders has established a stellar reputation for producing British-built products that emphasize strength and longevity. We were the perfect partner to support their brand values through a customised umbrella that includes the union flag on the umbrella.

Customisation Process:

  1. Design and Artwork Preparation:
    • Empire Coach Builders provided us with their logo and a specific design brief that included the Union Jack flag on the umbrella and a bespoke pattern for the internal canopy.
    • We matched the bright red of the panels to the client’s Pantone reference, ensuring the colours complemented the luxury of the brand and emphasised the red within the Union Jack print.
  2. Digital Printing:
    • We used advanced digital printing techniques to print the artwork on both the internal and external canopies. This method allowed us to achieve vibrant colours and intricate patterns.
    • The external canopy featured the Union Jack flag on four panels and the company’s logo on the remaining four panels, creating a striking and patriotic design.
  3. Double Canopy Construction:
    • The umbrella was designed with a double canopy to enhance durability and provide additional wind resistance.
    • Each panel was carefully printed and then sewn by hand to ensure the design was perfectly aligned and the overall aesthetic was flawless.
  4. Assembly and Quality Control:
    • The umbrella was assembled with a straight handle and Pantone-matched panels, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality finish.
    • Rigorous quality checks were conducted throughout the production process to ensure the final product met our high standards and the client’s expectations.

Outcome:

The result was a stunning Automatic Golf Sports Umbrella that perfectly embodied the quintessentially British nature of the Empire Coach Builders brand. The seamless integration of the Union Jack and the company’s logo on the external canopy, combined with the bespoke pattern on the internal canopy, created a visually striking and highly functional accessory.
