Updated: Jun 6

Custom inflatables are a versatile and visually appealing way to enhance any event. Whether for a marketing campaign, corporate function, or public festival, these inflatables can be tailored to fit any theme or promotional goal, significantly enriching the attendee experience. Beyond aesthetics, they also serve functional purposes, such as guiding attendees, providing shade, or creating interactive spaces in a fun and unique way. All of this while being relatively easy to operate and transport for their often giant sizes.


Broad Spectrum of Customization

Custom inflatables offer extensive customization options, allowing them to be tailored precisely to any theme, brand, or event concept. These options include custom shapes, arches, domes, replicas, and marketing inflatables. Each type of inflatable serves a unique purpose and can be designed to meet specific needs and goals.


Custom Shapes:

Custom-shaped inflatables can represent any object or character, providing a unique and eye-catching element to any event. Whether it's a giant product replica for a trade show or a themed character for a festival, these inflatables are designed to stand out and attract attention. Of course, custom shaped inflatables truly stand out with unique brands or iconic characters like this custom inflatable Spider-Man (Spidey.)



Custom Inflatable Arches:

Inflatable arches are popular for sporting events, races, and corporate functions. They can be branded with logos, messages, and colors to create a striking entrance or finish line. These arches offer a clear and visible message while also being functional, guiding attendees and marking important areas for special events.

Custom Inflatable Structures:

Inflatable domes and tents provide shelter and a unique atmosphere for various events. They can be used as exhibition booths, information centers, or lounges at festivals and conventions. Custom branding on these structures enhances visibility and reinforces brand presence. For these custom domes, NASA wanted to use a simple design at an educational event. They told us what they needed and since we've worked with them before we knew exactly what to deliver. Not to get off topic but NASA is a fascinating client who is always coming up with new and challenging ideas for us and you can see more examples of our work with NASA here.

Custom Inflatable Replicas

Inflatable replicas of real world products or characters are effective for marketing activations and promotional events. These larger-than-life replicas create a memorable impression and help in product launches and brand awareness campaigns. This giant inflatable Rockstar can was taken on a concert tour where Rockstar had a big presence both as a business and quite literally.

Practical Benefits and Logistical Advantages

Custom inflatables offer numerous practical benefits, including ease of transportation and quick setup. They can be deflated and packed into compact bundles for cost-effective shipping and are highly adaptable to different event spaces. This makes them suitable for both large outdoor festivals and intimate indoor gatherings.


Inflatables are designed with durability and safety in mind, using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. For outdoor events, secure anchoring and weighted bases ensure stability, while indoor events benefit from their lightweight and flexible nature.


Interactive and Engaging Features

Giant inflatables offer interactive and engaging features that significantly enhance attendee participation and enjoyment at festivals and conventions, where creating a memorable experience is key.


At educational events or exhibitions, inflatables create engaging learning environments. For example, an inflatable planetarium can offer educational shows about astronomy, or an inflatable exhibit can display information about science and technology. Oftentimes, museums, zoos and aquariums look to our giant creations to decorate their premises while still adding an educational element to the inflatable displays.


Design Process and Creative Collaboration

Our design process for custom inflatables is a collaborative journey from concept to creation, involving clients at every stage. We start with a detailed consultation to understand the client's vision and objectives, creating initial sketches and 3D rendering mockups for feedback. These mockups help perfect logo placement, color, shape, and size. Once the design is finalized, we use high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure durability and visual appeal. This collaboration ensures each inflatable perfectly fits the event theme and creates a memorable experience.


Spotlight on Success

Our custom inflatables have significantly enhanced visual appeal and audience engagement at various events. One notable success story is our collaboration with Wendy's and the popular TV show "Rick and Morty." As part of a promotional campaign, we created large inflatable replicas of the show's characters, Rick and Morty, featuring tunnels through their mouths for the drive-thru entrance and exit.


These custom inflatables were used at the "Morty's Mayhem" pop-up event, adding an interactive element to the experience. The inflatables were visually striking and served as engaging photo opportunities, drawing significant attention and increasing foot traffic to the event.


The design process involved close collaboration between Wendy's marketing team and our designers to ensure that the inflatables accurately represented the beloved characters from the show. Our attention to detail and commitment to quality resulted in inflatables that were both durable and visually impressive, capable of withstanding the rigors of a busy event.



Attendees were thrilled with the immersive experience, and the inflatables became a highlight of the event. The success of this campaign demonstrates the power of our custom inflatables in creating memorable and engaging experiences that resonate with audiences. Testimonials from event organizers and attendees alike highlighted the positive impact these inflatables had on the overall atmosphere and success of the event.


Custom inflatables like those used in the "Rick and Morty" event show how effective these marketing tools can be in creating buzz and drawing attention. By leveraging popular culture and interactive elements, brands can create unique and impactful experiences that leave a lasting impression on their audience.


Advertising inflatables play a unique and dynamic role in transforming event landscapes and elevating participant engagement.
