Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes at Cubic Promote in our showroom. We are doing a final check on a bulk batch of freshly printed orange umbrellas, all featuring a client’s logo. These quality checks aren’t random samples. They’re 100% inspections done by hand, every time, measured and visually inspected. Why? Because your brand deserves nothing less. This type of checking happens to our entire range including: custom branded golf sized umbrellas, personalised fold-up umbrellas.
📸 Yes, that’s me in the photos — measuring tape in hand, ensuring every detail meets the mark.
Quality-Checked Umbrellas Matters
When you buy wholesale promotional products from us, we know you’re putting your logo and reputation in someone else’s hands. We take that seriously. Each umbrella we send out acts as a walking ad for your business, so we make sure it looks flawless before it leaves our warehouse. We believe it is better to send out a perfect item rather than risk the client sending it back to us in disgust.
Here’s precisely what we inspect for when we check your branded umbrellas for quailty:
✅ 1. Product Imperfections
Before looking at the print, we check the umbrella itself — the fabric, stitching, seams, handle, and mechanism. We look for:
- Loose threads
- Scratches or dents on handles
- Uneven stitching
- Holes
- Faulty opening/closing mechanisms
If something doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t get shipped. It’s as simple as that.
📏 2. Print Size
Your logo or branding needs to be in the same position and layout as the visual mock-up that you have approved. We visually inspect for problems, and if we feel something is off, we use a ruler or tape (as pictured!) to ensure it matches your approved specs to the millimetre.
🎯 3. Print Alignment
A slightly crooked print might not seem like a big deal until someone publicly opens the umbrella. That’s to check the angle and positioning against the seams and panel guides to ensure perfect balance.
🧭 4. Print Position
Some clients want their logo centred, while others want it near the top or side. No matter what was agreed upon, we verify that the print is in the exact position specified in your proof. We don’t leave it up to chance.
🎨 5. Print Colour
We check the printed colour against the approved Pantone Matching System (PMS) reference. This ensures your brand colours remain consistent — whether you’re printing on one umbrella or 5,000.
🔁 6. Print Consistency
Is the logo just as sharp on the first umbrella as on the last one in the batch? We check this by looking at ink saturation, edge clarity, and whether colours appear uniform across the order.
⚠️ 7. Item Damage During Print or Transit
After the first inspection, we carefully package the umbrellas. The job is still not finished until it reaches you. Therefore, we have to ensure that the ink is dried and cured so that there will be no smudging. We also need to pack the items carefully into boxes that fit.
Our Promise
If there are any imperfections on a custom-branded umbrella, we pull it out and have it replaced or repaired. This isn’t just about umbrellas. It’s about brand care. From custom umbrellas to mugs, notebooks, or tote bags, every product gets our team’s personal, hands-on inspection. We treat your logo like it’s our own. Our clients have come to expect that level of detail, and we’re proud to deliver it every single time.
Want to See This in Action?
This inspection happens daily—it’s not glamorous, but it’s real. It’s how we keep our quality high and your confidence high. Read our articles on umbrellas to learn more about using them for your company.
