Ordering & pricing

What is the minimum order quantity?

For plain umbrellas (our regular and seasonal range, without customisation) the minimum order is 144 pieces – 12 dozen. For logo-printed umbrellas the minimum is 300 pieces. Canopy tents can be ordered from a single piece, although the single-piece price is different from the wholesale price.

Do you sell single umbrellas to walk-in customers?

No. For umbrellas we deal only in bulk – with wholesalers, distributors, retailers and companies. Canopy tents are available from a single piece.

Do you provide samples?

Yes, for umbrella orders of 5,000 pieces or more. The sample is paid – ₹500 per sample, printed with your logo and name. Call or WhatsApp us to discuss your requirement.

How do I get a price, and how quickly do you reply?

WhatsApp us on +91 91378 78456 with the product, quantity and your logo (if any). We usually reply within 15 minutes on WhatsApp. You can also call us or send the enquiry form on our contact page.

What are your payment terms?

For customised umbrellas: 50% advance with the order, and the remaining 50% before dispatch – the full amount must be paid before the order leaves our factory. We accept UPI, NEFT, RTGS, cheque and cash; a payment is treated as received once it is credited to our account.

Do you give a GST invoice?

Yes. Every order comes with a GST invoice. Our GSTIN is 27AGCPJ9001C1ZX.

When is the best time for wholesalers to book umbrellas?

Between November and March. Prices are at their lowest in November and rise gradually month by month until March, so the earlier you book your stock for the coming monsoon, the better your rate.

Logo printing & customisation

Which printing methods do you use?

Screen printing and digital printing, depending on your logo and requirement. Screen printing suits logos with up to 3 colours; logos with more than 3 colours are printed digitally. The more colours in the logo, the higher the printing cost.

How many logo prints can an umbrella have?

Up to 8 impressions – one on each panel, as standard Indian umbrellas have 8 panels.

Can you match our exact brand colour?

Yes. With digital printing on white fabric we can reproduce any colour – just share your colour's hex code.

Which file format do you need for the logo?

CDR or PDF is preferred.

Will I see a proof before printing?

Yes. We share a PDF mock-up showing exactly how your umbrella will look. Printing starts only after you approve it.

Do you offer custom packaging or white labelling?

Yes, for bulk orders. We manufacture umbrellas under our clients' own brand names, including orders of 2,000 to 5,000 dozen, with custom packaging.

Delivery & visits

Do you deliver across India?

Yes, we deliver across India.

Is plain stock available ready-made?

Yes, plain umbrellas are generally available from ready stock. For large bulk orders, book early – November offers the lowest prices, and rates rise gradually until March.

Can I collect my order or visit you?

Orders can be collected from our Dombivli West shop and our Bhiwandi factory outlet. Kalbadevi (Mumbai) is our booking office. Please schedule a meeting before visiting any location.

When is the Bhiwandi factory open?

During the season – after Diwali through to August – the Bhiwandi factory runs 24/7 and you can visit to see samples. Please book an appointment first so that we can be there to serve you personally.

Quality & after-sales

Do you give a warranty?

We do not offer a replacement warranty, but if an umbrella has a manufacturing defect we repair it and return it to you. Imported umbrellas (such as capsule, reverse, UV and windproof umbrellas) cannot be repaired.

What if some pieces in my bulk order arrive damaged?

Every order goes through multiple quality and packing checks, so defects are rare. If pieces are damaged in transit, send them back to us – we repair them and return them to you.

Are your umbrellas made in your own factory?

Yes. All our umbrellas are manufactured under one roof at our own factory in Bhiwandi – except a few speciality styles such as capsule and reverse umbrellas, which are imported.

What sizes do you make?

Umbrellas in 21", 23", 25", 27" and 30"; garden umbrellas of 6, 7 and 8 ft; 10 ft centre-pole umbrellas and side-pole umbrellas. Canopies and tents are available in all standard market sizes.
