Talking Brollys?!

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know somewhere where I can get personalised umbrellas from?? I've not heard of any local print shops doing it but am yet to check with them!

I need some pink brollies (girly style) with black print across the front for a routine we are doing in our dance troupe!

I havent really got a clue, might be a case of getting sequins/diamonte out and doing a DIY bodge job!!

Any ideas helpful!!!!

Thank you!!

PG xx

Not helpful, but I have the best brolly in the world.

Bit pricey, but girly enough for you??

I'm guessing you wont need that many..... so screen printing wouldn't be viable.

Your best would be to source the brollies and then get them printed at your local T-shirt/signmakers.

If you need any more help, just shout as I used to do this kind of stuff before focusing on signmaking only.

Edit: Give Wellington Signs & Designs a call 01761 410042 (Midsomer Norton) I used to work for them when I did the signs and printing

Depends on detail you require for brolly but can buy paint to go on easy. I'd buy some pink brollys and paint them. Creative flair - best way to go.

Hope dancing is fun, missing it muchly.

Cheaper too!!

If its for dancing (no rain) then maybe you could get some stickers printed - might be cheaper?

Got some prices here but as others have said, it's not particularly cheap and not sure how many you need and there is also a minimum order of 25. These are printed on one panel.

There's a setup and delivery charge of £40.00 and then the brolly's are £10.00 each.

PDF here of the type where you can choose colours etc so can all be pink or whatever mix you want.

I imagine the minimum order is probably going to be the sticking point though. Might be cheaper to buy them plain elsewhere and arty farty them up yourselves
