Employing an inflatable prop for product launches offers a cost-effective advertising solution compared to traditional methods. In today's social media-driven world, there's no need to invest heavily in expensive billboards or online ads. Viral content can emerge unexpectedly, and a giant inflatable replica can significantly boost your chances of achieving that viral success.


Engaging and interactive elements in our designs ensure that our inflatables are truly bespoke on many levels. For instance, we can incorporate custom features such as visual enhancements or structural modifications. These can include unique additions like tunnels or transparent sections that provide a clear view of the inflatable's interior, creating novel ways for people to interact with the structure. Elevating the inflatable to allow people to walk underneath it can also amaze onlookers with its impressive scale.

Sealed/Airtight Models

We manufacture our inflatables in multiple styles, including sealed inflatables, also known as airtight inflatable models. These airtight inflatables are constructed with two layers: an exterior printed shell and an interior air bladder. While the internal component is airtight, the exterior cover is not. By combining these two layers, we create durable airtight product replicas in various shapes. Additionally, airtight inflatables have the advantage of not requiring constant inflation, unlike most other inflatable products we produce. This benefit is particularly useful when setting up in remote areas without power sources. If needed, small generators can be used for both styles of inflatables, ensuring flexibility and convenience.
