135g Ultra-Light Pencil Umbrella with UPF50+ Sun Protection

Ultra-Light. Ultra-Slim. Ready for Sun or Rain.

The MM-422 Ultra-Light Pencil Umbrella is designed for consumers who want everyday sun and rain protection without carrying a heavy or bulky umbrella.

Weighing approximately 135g, this lightweight three-fold umbrella combines a slim pencil-style profile with an 85 cm open canopy, five-rib steel frame, UV protection and distinctive oil-painting-inspired design.

Compact enough for handbags, backpacks and travel bags, the MM-422 is ideal for commuting, travel, shopping, summer activities and everyday carry.

Its artistic appearance also makes it an attractive option for business gifts, promotional campaigns, fashion and lifestyle collections, and private-label umbrella projects.

Key Features

Only 135g – Ultra-Light Everyday Carry

One of the most distinctive features of the MM-422 is its exceptionally lightweight construction.

With an umbrella net weight of approximately 135g, it is designed for consumers who want to keep an umbrella in their bag every day without adding unnecessary weight.

This makes it particularly suitable for:

• Daily commuting

• Travel

• Shopping

• Handbag storage

• Business trips

• Summer outdoor activities

• Emergency rain protection

For travelers and commuters, every gram matters. The MM-422 focuses on providing practical personal protection in an extremely lightweight package.

Slim Pencil Umbrella Design

The pencil umbrella concept focuses on creating a narrow, compact profile when the umbrella is closed.

Compared with bulkier conventional folding umbrellas, the slim structure takes up less space inside a handbag or backpack.

The result is an umbrella that can be carried almost like an everyday accessory.

Its slim design is especially attractive for consumers who prioritize:

Light Weight + Small Size + Easy Storage + Everyday Portability

Compact 3-Fold Structure

The MM-422 uses a three-fold structure, combining portability with convenient everyday operation.

Three-fold umbrellas are among the most popular folding umbrella types because they provide a practical balance between open canopy size and folded dimensions.

When closed, the MM-422 can be stored conveniently in:

• Handbags

• Backpacks

• Briefcases

• Travel bags

• Luggage

• Vehicles

85 cm Personal Canopy

The umbrella opens to approximately 85 cm in diameter.

This compact canopy is designed primarily for individual use and helps keep the overall umbrella small and lightweight.

Rather than maximizing canopy size, the MM-422 focuses on:

Personal Coverage + Ultra-Light Weight + Compact Storage

For consumers looking for maximum rain coverage, a larger three-fold or golf umbrella may be more appropriate.

For consumers prioritizing portability, the 85 cm canopy provides a practical solution.

UPF50+ UV Protection

The MM-422 is designed to provide UV protection and sunshade performance, making it particularly useful during sunny summer conditions.

With UPF50+ protection according to the applicable canopy specification, the umbrella can help reduce exposure to ultraviolet radiation while providing shade during outdoor use.

This makes it suitable for:

• Summer commuting

• Travel

• Shopping

• Walking

• Outdoor events

• Vacations

• Everyday sun protection

For commercial projects using a specific UPF50+ performance claim, the applicable fabric test report should be confirmed for the selected production specification.

Sun & Rain Dual Use

Why carry separate umbrellas for sunny and rainy weather?

The MM-422 is designed as a dual-purpose sun and rain umbrella, providing practical protection during changing weather conditions.

Keep it in a bag throughout the day for protection from strong sunlight or unexpected rain.

This versatility makes the umbrella particularly suitable for travelers and commuters.

Five-Rib Lightweight Frame

The MM-422 uses a five-rib steel structure.

While many conventional umbrellas use six or eight ribs, this product prioritizes lightweight construction and a slim folded profile.

The five-rib design helps reduce:

• Overall weight

• Folded volume

• Structural bulk

while providing practical support for the compact 85 cm canopy.

More ribs do not automatically mean a better umbrella. The appropriate rib count depends on the product's intended size, weight and application.

For the MM-422, portability is the primary design objective.

Manual Opening & Closing

The umbrella features a manual opening and closing mechanism.

A manual structure avoids the additional components required by an automatic opening system, helping maintain the product's lightweight and slim characteristics.

This makes manual operation particularly appropriate for an umbrella designed around a 135g weight target.

Oil-Painting-Inspired Design

The MM-422 is not only functional—it is designed to be visually distinctive.

The canopy features an oil-painting-inspired design, transforming an everyday umbrella into a fashion and lifestyle accessory.

Artistic canopy designs can be particularly attractive for:

• Fashion brands

• Museum gift shops

• Art exhibitions

• Lifestyle retailers

• Tourism gifts

• Cultural promotions

• Creative corporate gifts

• Private-label collections

Different artwork and patterns can also be developed for customized projects.

Product Specifications

*Final weight, fabric terminology and UPF50+ performance should be confirmed according to the selected production specification and applicable test report.

Ultra-Light Umbrella for Travel

Weight and storage space are important when traveling.

A conventional umbrella can take up valuable space inside luggage or a day bag. The MM-422 is designed specifically to minimize this burden.

At approximately 135g, it can be carried during:

Business Trips • Vacations • City Tours • Shopping • Daily Commuting

without significantly increasing bag weight.

Its sun-and-rain functionality also reduces the need to carry separate products for different weather conditions.

Pencil Umbrella vs. Regular Folding Umbrella

What makes a pencil umbrella different?

A regular folding umbrella typically prioritizes a balance between canopy coverage, frame strength and portability.

A pencil umbrella places greater emphasis on:

Slim Profile + Low Weight + Compact Storage

This makes it particularly attractive for consumers who want an umbrella available every day but do not want to carry a bulky item.

Choose a regular larger folding umbrella when maximum coverage is the priority.

Choose a pencil umbrella when minimal weight and easy carrying matter most.

Designed for Women's Lifestyle & Fashion Markets

The combination of an ultra-light structure, slim profile and artistic canopy makes the MM-422 particularly suitable for fashion and lifestyle collections.

The umbrella can complement:

• Handbags

• Travel accessories

• Summer accessories

• Fashion collections

• Beauty products

• Lifestyle gift sets

Custom colors and patterns can be developed according to different brand identities and target markets.

An Artistic Business Gift

Traditional promotional umbrellas usually focus on a company logo.

The MM-422 offers another possibility: combining branding with artistic design.

An oil-painting-inspired canopy can create a more distinctive gift, while a company logo can be integrated more subtly into the overall presentation.

This makes the umbrella suitable for:

• Business gifts

• Customer appreciation gifts

• Employee gifts

• Cultural events

• Art events

• Tourism promotions

• Fashion promotions

• Festival gifts

Custom Artwork & Logo Printing

The MM-422 can be customized for corporate, retail and private-label projects.

Depending on order quantity and design requirements, customization options can include:

• Custom logo printing

• Custom oil-painting artwork

• Custom full-canopy patterns

• Custom canopy colors

• Custom panel designs

• Custom umbrella sleeves

• Custom handles

• Custom labels

• Custom hang tags

• Custom gift boxes

• Custom retail packaging

• Private-label branding

For artistic retail collections, custom patterns can become the primary visual feature of the umbrella.

For corporate projects, logos can be integrated into selected canopy panels or packaging.

Ideal for Retail & Private-Label Collections

The MM-422 is particularly suitable for brands looking for something more distinctive than a conventional basic folding umbrella.

Potential applications include:

Fashion Retail

A slim umbrella that works as a lifestyle accessory.

Travel Retail

Ultra-light construction suitable for travelers.

Museum & Art Gifts
