Do you arrange overprinting of logos on Paraflex parasols?
Posting date: 3rd October 2010 00:00
I confirm that I have just heard from the printing contractors regarding the overprinting on Paraflex parasols. Unfortunately, they have told me that the last couple of jobs on overprinting paraflex they have done have not gone well and no one was happy with the quality. I don't think in the circumstances it is a good idea to go ahead with the printing. Sorry!
Since we talked, I have discussed this further with the printing contractors as I wanted to check, as you suggested, whether it was the paraflex parasol fabric that was the issue or the printers in the UK. In fact, probing further it sounds like it is a mixture of the two. There have been problems with the UK printers but apparently Paraflex in Belgium have had real problems with overprinting as well. I understand one concern that relates to paraflex itself rather than the printing, is leaving the paraflex out all winter, in all weathers. The overprinting will not withstand this, but the product itself is not made as an all year, all weather product. Paraflex is used commercially, but only during the Summer and often those wanting overprinting, want to use the parasols all year as a marketing tool. I am not sure how you wish to use the parasols, but I do want to advise you on the recommended use.
