Printing on the inside of an umbrella is a great opportunity to make your umbrella unique. Printing on the inside of an umbrella requires the umbrella to be a double canopy. This means the umbrella has two ‘sets’ or ‘layers’ of panels – one on the inside and one on the outside.
How we construct double canopy umbrellas
We print your artwork across the panels prior to construction of the umbrella in order for the print to matched carefully by hand at the seams of the umbrella, to create a continuous photo, pattern or design across all 8 internal panels of the umbrella.
