Transparent Umbrellas
Our transparent umbrellas combine a stylish clear canopy with the strength and durability required for regular use in the rain. Made from premium low crease POE, this clear material provides excellent visibility through the canopy while creating a distinctive contemporary appearance that makes this one of our most recognisable umbrella styles.
A flexible fibreglass rib system adds strength and wind resistance, helping the umbrella flex in changing weather conditions without adding unnecessary weight. The clean, transparent design also makes these umbrellas particularly popular for weddings, fashion and beauty brands, hotels, events and promotional campaigns aimed at both men and women. Add a custom logo or carefully selected colored component and the umbrella becomes much more than practical rain protection. It can become a stylish branded gift that showcases your identity every time it’s used.
Dome Shaped Birdcage Umbrellas
The bubble umbrella is one of the most popular styles of clear umbrella, instantly recognisable by it's deep, dome-shaped canopy that resembles a traditional birdcage. The distinctive shape offers excellent coverage, with the clear canopy extending further around the user while still providing excellent visibility when walking in the rain.
Our dome-shaped birdcage umbrellas combine practical features like automatic easy opening with a stylish, contemporary appearance. An automatic easy opening mechanism makes them quick and convenient to use, while the transparent canopy creates a distinctive look for events, promotions, weddings and everyday travel.
For additional strength, clear bubble umbrellas can be manufactured with fibreglass or reinforced frames, offering greater flexibility and corrosion resistance than conventional steel components. Combined with the protective dome canopy, this creates a durable clear umbrella that is particularly well suited to custom branding and promotional use.
Other bubble or dome umbrellas made from PVC covers require talcum powder to prevent sticking in heat. Our POE material avoids that and open perfectly without sticking.

- POE Clear Umbrellas in Golf, Walker and Telescopic Styles
Clear umbrellas aren’t limited to the traditional bubble design. At iBrolly, we can manufacture POE clear umbrellas in golf, Walker and compact telescopic styles, giving you a choice of size, opening mechanism and product features to suit your promotional campaign. From a large clear canopy that provides generous rain coverage to a lightweight manual folding umbrella that’s easy to carry, each style can be customized with your logo, branding and colored detailing.
Clear Golf Umbrellas
For maximum coverage and brand visibility, a clear golf umbrella combines a spacious transparent canopy with the larger proportions of a traditional golf umbrella. Adult clear umbrellas commonly use rib sizes such as 21 inch and 23 inch, while larger promotional models can have an arc diameter of approximately 46 to 48 inches. These larger canopies provide excellent protection from the rain while creating plenty of space for a printed logo or custom branding.
Clear Walker Umbrellas
Clear Walker umbrellas offer a practical balance between generous coverage and everyday portability. A typical 46-inch promotional umbrella has a closed length of around 31 inches, making it well suited to hotels, visitor attractions, corporate promotions, events and retail brands. Walker styles can be produced with straight or crook handles, manual or automatic opening mechanisms and a choice of colored frames, tips and trims. The result is a distinctive promotional product designed to be both useful and highly visible.
Compact Clear Telescopic Umbrellas
For a smaller, more portable option, compact clear umbrellas are available in rib sizes such as 16 inch, 18 inch and 19 inch, depending on the required design and canopy coverage. Their folding frames make them easier to carry in a handbag, backpack or travel bag while retaining the distinctive appearance of a transparent POE canopy.
A compact clear umbrella can be produced with a manual opening mechanism and customized details to complement your brand. Whether it’s used for travel, events or everyday rain protection, the combination of portability, practical features and custom branding can turn a simple umbrella into a product customers will enjoy using.
Bulk Clear Umbrellas
Buying clear umbrellas in bulk is the most cost-effective option for businesses, events, retailers and organizations that require larger quantities. Ordering wholesale can significantly reduce the price per unit, particularly when the umbrellas are manufactured specifically for your order rather than purchased individually from a retail shop.
For larger quantities of custom branded umbrellas, working with a direct manufacturer like iBrolly also provides much greater control over the finished product. Instead of simply choosing an umbrella from stock, you can specify the canopy style, frame, handle, colors and branding. The quality of the umbrella frame is particularly important for durability and wind resistance, which is why we offer options including fibreglass ribs and reinforced frame constructions.
Clear umbrellas also have some practical advantages that make them particularly suitable for events. The transparent canopy allows natural light to filter through and helps prevent shadows across the face, while maintaining excellent visibility in wet weather. This is one reason clear and bubble umbrellas are especially popular for outdoor weddings, photography, hospitality and events, where guests can remain protected from the rain without their faces or surroundings being obscured.
Clear umbrellas are also popular at graduation ceremonies because they provide rain protection without significantly obstructing visibility for spectators or photographers.
Bulk orders don’t necessarily require excessive storage space either. Clear umbrellas can be packed efficiently in cartons, helping reduce the amount of storage space required compared with individually packaged retail products. For customers ordering larger quantities, we can also advise on packaging, carton quantities and the most economical delivery method.
Eco-Friendly Materials Options
Sustainability can also be considered when specifying custom umbrellas. Our clear bubble umbrellas use flexible POE material rather than traditional PVC, while other iBrolly umbrella styles can be manufactured using rPET polyester fabric made from recycled plastic water bottles.
Clear POE canopy material is a thermoplastic that can potentially be recycled where suitable specialist recycling facilities and collection systems are available. However, recycling options vary by location, so POE should not automatically be described as a fully recyclable or environmentally friendly material.
Certain umbrella components can also be produced using recyclable aluminium, bamboo and other lower-impact materials. Where sustainability is a priority, we can recommend the most appropriate combination of materials, components and construction for your custom umbrella, balancing environmental considerations with durability, appearance and performance.
Clear Umbrella Design and Sample Service
Creating a custom clear umbrella starts with getting the artwork and design set correctly. Simply submit your logo or email your artwork, ideally in .AI format, and our design team will prepare a free digital visual showing how your branding will appear on the finished umbrella. If you have any questions, our response time is usually within the hour during normal business hours.
Clear umbrellas can be imprinted with one color on one or two panels, although at iBrolly you are not restricted to this. We can produce multicolor logos and more extensive branding across multiple panels, depending on the design and umbrella style. A typical imprint area offered on some custom umbrellas is around 7" W x 4.5" H, but we can often accommodate different or larger print areas depending on the canopy, panel shape and artwork.
Once we agree the design, we will send the artwork for your approval before production begins. We can also produce a free printed sample, allowing you to check the logo size, positioning, colours, print quality and overall appearance before giving final approval for the bulk order.
This free design and sample service gives you the opportunity to refine your clear umbrella before production, helping ensure the finished product accurately reflects your brand.
Custom Colors and Branding
Subject to a minimum order quantity of 500 units, our clear bubble umbrellas can be customised with colored handles, tips, trims and printed logos to complement your brand or event. Popular color choices include black, white, blue, red, pink, yellow and purple, while bespoke colors can also be matched to your corporate identity. The transparent canopy keeps the distinctive clear appearance of the umbrella with carefully chosen color accent adding impact without obscuring visibility.
Clear Umbrella Minimum Order Quantities and Lead Times
Our minimum order quantity for custom clear umbrellas is 50 units, making this a practice promotional product for businesses, events, weddings, hospitality, corporate promotions and branded merchandise without requiring a large-volume commitment.
Because our clear umbrellas are custom made to your specification, lead times depend on the umbrella style, quantity, printing and level of customization required. A printed sample can normally be produced for approval before we begin the full production run, giving you the opportunity to check the branding and overall appearance of the umbrella.
Typical production takes approximately 2–3 weeks following artwork approval, with additional time required for delivery. If you have a specific event date or deadline, let us know when requesting your quotation and we can recommend the most appropriate production and shipping option.
For larger bulk orders, we can also discuss alternative freight methods and production schedules to provide the best balance between delivery time and overall cost.
