We love what we do and we love the sheer variety of businesses we get to work with; people who love what they do as much as we do. This makes for some very special collaborations and our latest project for some custom inflatable props was certainly a very special one-off for us.

Performing Lines have been around for over 40 years bringing contemporary arts experiences to audiences throughout Australia and the world. They approached us to create a series of stage props to be used on stage in theatre shows. But these weren’t just any stage props. They needed to be freestanding and interactive, so children with learning difficulties could see and feel them. It was important that not only these custom inflatable props look good, they needed to feel good too!

Setting the Stage

One thing we have in plentiful supply at Inflatable Anything is imagination, so when we teamed up with the cast from Performing Lines, the ideas were always going to be especially weird and wonderful. As far as the client was concerned, the wackier the better!

But it wasn’t just about the look of the custom inflatable props, they had to be secure and safe too, so it was important that our designs were practical as well as visually impactful. 

The client had come up with some ideas for the shapes of their custom inflatable props and had even modelled them in clay. So, using the latest cutting-edge design technology, we were then able to translate their clay models into a 3-dimensional model, to give the guys from Performing Lines an accurate idea of what their shapes would look like in reality.

We were commissioned by Performing Lines to produce three different custom inflatable props, all different shapes, colours and sizes. In the end, we decided upon a range of sizes between 2 and 2.5 meters in height, with 0.8 and 1 meter in width.

All the shapes were completely unique and designed by the client. And so, the challenge for us was to make sure that we undertook all the necessary work on the intricate design of the custom inflatable props, to ensure they looked exactly how the client wanted.

Then came the fun bit; adding colour to the designs! The custom inflatable props needed to be as bright and colourful as possible to appeal to children, so we were allowed to really let our imagination run wild which was great fun for us.

Thanks to us having the latest technology at our disposal, we were able to guarantee the best quality colour reproduction for the custom inflatable props. We used PVC to make the shapes and used full surface printing, to make sure the colours really popped as the client requested.

Going Into Production

Once the team from Performing Lines were happy with the look of our designs, we sent them off to be manufactured. Even though the wonders of technology meant that we could get a really good idea what our inflatables would look like, it was only when we actually took delivery of the finished article that we got to really experience – and feel! – these unique creations, so we had a nervous wait for our custom inflatable props to be finished.

We needn’t have worried. The custom inflatable props looked every bit as good as we expected and the client was delighted with them. 

It took less than 5 minutes to set up each shape, leaving the cast plenty of time to get themselves ready for the show, an added bonus for them. And the high quality of the PVC fabric meant that the custom inflatable props could be used over and over again, in whatever guise the production company wanted, giving them added flexibility and longevity.

Let the Show Begin!

Seeing the custom inflatable props on stage complete with the lighting and staging effects, really brought them to life and the shapes helped to give the visiting children and audiences a truly memorable sensory experience.

No matter how weird and wonderful your concept is, our team at Inflatable Anything will be able to bring it to life for you. Whether you have a really clear vision or just a vague idea of what you are looking for, our expert designers can make anything inflatable, so get in touch today and let’s see what we can come up with. The crazier the idea, the better as far as we’re concerned – we love a challenge!

Netball NSW are the governing body for netball in New South Wales and they organise and manage two elite teams: NSW Swifts and Giants Netball. Netball NSW wanted a product that would help to get the crowds on their feet during half time while injecting an element of fun into the event. 

The answer? Giant inflatable balls! You might have seen them being bounced around in crowds at some of their major games in recent years. They are a great way to bring crowds together to encourage their team’s players and also help to provide a fantastic opportunity to promote a business brand or message.

The Ball is in Our Court!

Our design team set to work on coming up with an eye-catching design for the giant inflatable balls. The brief had to achieve a number of aims including promoting the Giants’ team and being big enough to bounce around in the crowds. 

The giant inflatable balls provide great photo opportunities, creating lasting images from historic sporting events. These prove to be very effective in helping to add to building public interest in the team throughout the season, which also plays a part in boosting team morale on court. 

It was decided to make the giant inflatable balls 1 meter in diameter so they could easily be seen above the crowds. However, it’s not just about size when it comes to making an impact with giant inflatable balls. It is crucial that the colour also has real visual effect. 

The Giants’ logo is bright orange in colour making it ideal for standing out in the crowd. The main focus from there was for our team to create an exact reproduction of the Giants’ logo. It needed to be as bright and vivid as the real thing, in order to be easily recognisable and to stay true to the brand guidelines.

We used only the latest technology in its design and production processes which meant that they could produce the most professional looking inflatable.

Using a high-tech colour matching system called PMS (Pantone Matching System), we were able to replicate the vivid orange colour for all of the giant inflatable balls, as well as the splash of blue also featured on the logo. 

Having got the colours absolutely spot on and happy with the overall look of the design, the team at Inflatable Anything presented their design to the client. This is always a nerve-wracking moment finding out whether we have interpreted the brief in the right way, but as always, we nailed it. Netball NSW were delighted with the look of the design and gave us the green light to go ahead and put the giant inflatable balls into production.

Getting the Ball Rolling… 

It was important that we manufactured the giant inflatable balls in plenty of time for the Giants’ next sporting event. We have invested considerable time and resources into ensuring the production process is as professional, accurate and swift as it could be, so clients aren’t waiting unnecessarily for their inflatables. 

It was a fine balance between maintaining our impeccably high standards of production and also getting the product out on time. We could safely say that we had definitely got the balance right, proven by all our previously satisfied customers! Netball NSW were no exception and were impressed with the time frame their giant inflatable balls were manufactured in. 

Even though we couldn’t wait to present them to the client, we still gave the giant inflatable balls a thorough check over at our base, just to be 100% sure that they ticked all the boxes. There were five balls to check and all were perfect in quality and finish.

Thanks to the impeccable quality of our inflatables they can be used time and time again, offering unbeatable value for money. Why not have a think about how a giant inflatable could help promote your event, team, occasion, or launch? Contact our team at Inflatable Anything today.

Everyone understands the value of advertising, so when we teamed up with one of the biggest brands on the planet, we knew we had to come up with something impressive!

We were approached by Twenty3 Group, an advertising and sponsorship agency who represent Mars Australia. The brand was launching a whole new advertising campaign and wanted to commission Inflatable Anything to produce an advertising inflatable that would form part of this new campaign.

Getting it right for such a big client was crucial to our team at Inflatable Anything and we couldn’t wait to sink our teeth into such a tasty challenge!

Nailing the Brief

We had lengthy discussions with the Twenty3 Group to make sure that we had a comprehensive understanding of the brief. 

The challenge was to produce a number of replica Mars Bars to promote the brand during half time shows at large sporting events throughout Australia, with particular emphasis on cricket, one of Australia’s most popular sports.

The idea was for people to walk around the event holding the advertising inflatable whilst throwing out free Mars Bars into the crowds. 

Mars Bars are one of the most iconic and easily recognisable products in Australia, so we had to make sure that we reproduced the look of a Mars Bar exactly for the whole world to notice!

The technical brief came with some complications, with both the shape and size of the advertising inflatable creating a real challenge for our designers. In the end, we were able to deliver the goods. Using the outer wrapper from an actual Mars Bar as our starting point, we were able to come up with a prototype design that we presented to the client.

Due to the shape of the bar being rectangular rather than round, this created an immediate factor to address in terms of ensuring the advertising inflatable kept its shape. The way air moves under pressure means that it always wants to be round, so producing inflatables in shapes other than circles or balls, can prove to be complicated. With years of experience making inflatables with similar requirements, we soon came up with a solution.

It was decided to use a double layer for the advertising inflatable to hide what is known as the ‘pillowing’ effect, where the inflatable can appear dimpled. By using an inner bladder and an outer sleeve, this created a double skin which made for a more realistic appearance for the finished article. 

An additional benefit was that the outer sleeve of the advertising inflatable is interchangeable, so it could be used on multiple occasions and for varying designs, giving the product even greater longevity.

Having resolved any issues over the overall shape of the advertising inflatable, the next challenge for our designers was to get the design as close as possible to the original product. It wasn’t just a question of replicating the front of the iconic bar. We had to make sure that it looked exactly the same as the chocolate bar wrapper from all angles; the front, sides, and back. 

The wording and logo also had to be 100% accurate and this is where being able to use the latest digital printing was a real advantage for us at Inflatable Anything. We have always been at the cutting edge of technology, so using the most state of the art production processes meant that we were able to offer the most accurate replication of the branding as possible. 

Putting Some Play Into Your Day

Getting the logo and branding bang on was absolutely crucial to the success of this project, and so we were very relieved when the client happily signed off the design. Now we had the go ahead, we started the production process straight away to make sure the Twenty3 Group were able to deliver the advertising inflatable to the team at Mars Bar on time and on budget.

In a matter of weeks, we took delivery of the hugely anticipated advertising inflatable. Before we handed them over to the client, we made sure we went through the same rigorous quality checks that we do with all our inflatables. 

We checked the uniformity of each advertising inflatable to make sure they were all exactly the same. Then we checked the overall look of them to make sure the branding had been reproduced exactly how the client wanted it and finally, we did a technical check ensuring the dual layer technique we had gone for, worked in reality. At 1.8 meters in length, the giant replica Mars Bar had real visual impact. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the final result and the client absolutely loved it too. 

The advertising inflatable Mars Bars proved highly effective in the client’s campaign – and incredibly practical too taking just two minutes to inflate! We were delighted to be part of an advertising campaign of such an iconic product. Plus, it was a great excuse to eat a lot of chocolate – all in the name of research of course!

Inflatable Anything has worked with an impressive list of clients, so when we were approached by Australia’s leading subscription television sports channel, Fox Sports, we took it all in our stride and got to work right away.

Fox Sports is at the cutting edge of sports coverage, so is always looking for new ways to stand out from the crowd. When it heard about how effective customised inflatables can be in promoting businesses, the organisation didn’t hesitate in asking us at Inflatable Anything to help out.

Fox Sports was looking at coming up with a product that would promote a range of major upcoming sports events. They wanted something visually powerful that would form part of the set design for their sports coverage.

Straight away, our team came up with the idea of designing a range of custom beach balls. Fun, yet incredibly eye-catching, these custom beach balls would provide a colourful and memorable backdrop to the set during the TV broadcast of sporting events.

On the Ball!

So, where to start with the design? Making sure the final design successfully fulfilled the original brief was of the utmost importance to our design team.

Having thoroughly researched what the custom beach balls were being used for on set, the designers suggested five different balls, each one representing the different sports that were due to be televised during the various events. 

It was decided that they would be all different sizes and shapes, so they were distinct from each other and to make them stand out more effectively. And so, the round balls had a diameter of 1.5 meters by 2 meters, and the rectangular balls measured between 1 and 2 meters in length.

Another clever way the designers thought of to make the custom beach balls visually memorable, was to make sure they used bright, vivid colours so they really stood out on the screen.

Happy with our initial concept, we set about putting our ideas into practice and using the latest CAD software, we were able to come up with a series of designs to put to Fox Sports.

Sometimes it can be hard to imagine how a design will be brought to life, but Fox Sports knew their theme was in the hands of experts, so trusted us to come up with the goods!

Having approved the design of the custom beach balls we produced for them, we now had to make sure the different shaped and sized balls were all equally impactful. This is where the choice of colour came in. 

Using a bright, predominantly primary colour palette meant that the colours really popped, for added on-screen impact. The balls were easily identifiable for the different sports they were associated with, making their promotional success even more impactful.

Next, we had to turn our 2-dimensional design into a 3-dimensional reality. We have plenty of experience of making different types of inflatable balls, so these custom beach balls were pretty straight forward for us to produce. They are generally made from PVC and can be screen printed to ensure a solid block of colour or they can even be digitally printed to allow for more complex designs.

Once we had manufactured the five different custom beach balls, we then undertook our usual rigorous quality control checks, so we knew for definite that every single inflatable lived up to expectations. 

Beauty of the Custom Beach Balls

And then, it was just a question of delivering them to the client. The beauty of these custom beach balls was that once they were inflated, they stayed inflated for ease of use. But if needed, the balls could be topped up to guarantee they kept their shape and impact.

As you can see from the finished result, the custom beach balls clearly represent a number of different sports, which helped to highlight the diversity of sporting events broadcast by Fox Sports. Also, the balls clearly displayed the Fox Sports’ branding, sending out a clear message to viewers and reinforcing the fact that Fox Sports is the leading provider of sports on TV in Australia.

It was an honour for us at Inflatable Anything to work with such a prestigious brand and we were delighted that the team at Fox Sports loved the custom beach balls as much as we did. We got a real buzz from seeing them on TV screens throughout Fox Sports’ subsequent event coverage!

So, What’s Next?

Why not have a think about how Inflatable Anything could come up with a customised and personalised inflatable to promote your business or event? Use your imagination, come up with an idea and we’ll do the rest! Contact our friendly team today to get the ball rolling.

When we say we can make anything into an inflatable, we mean it. So when Nulon Products Australia approached us with the ultimate challenge to make a custom inflatable product replica, this was to be one of our most challenging tasks to date.

The client wanted an exact replica of a Nulon Oil bottle, which they wanted to use at promotional events in New South Wales, in order to advertise their product in a fun and effective way. 

The only problem was the bottle was ‘flat’ on two sides. The laws of science dictate that inflatables always want to be round, due to the way pressurised air moves. However, this didn’t put our team off. We don’t bottle things up that easily, but to us there are no problems, only solutions!

Unbottling Ideas

Thanks to years of experience in the industry,  our team of designers already had a number of ideas ready for how to get over the challenge of the custom inflatable product replica’s shape.

Using a real bottle to get an exact scale of its dimensions, the designers made sure that the measurements were precisely replicated into the design of the custom inflatable product replica. This meant that all the proportions were completely accurate and guaranteed to fulfil the client’s demands for an exact replica of the product.

But it wasn’t just about being able to produce an exact reproduction of the bottle. We had to also make sure the end product had the desired ‘wow’ factor to ensure maximum impact when it was in use at promotional events. 

Making the custom inflatable product replica supersized made sure that it was suitably eye-catching. Measuring 2.5 meters in height and 2 meters in width guaranteed it was big enough to create a real stir at any promotional occasion.

Having finalised the dimensions of the custom inflatable product replica, the real work began. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail – this is why we have such a highly regarded reputation in the industry and why our clients come back time and time again.

Getting every last detail of the product onto the custom inflatable product replica was quite a challenge for us, but we love a challenge as it only opens up more opportunities in future. We spent a great deal of time making sure we copied each and every detail of the actual bottle onto the replica and the results were absolutely outstanding. 

Apart from the sheer size of the replica, there really was no detailed missed between the original bottle and the end result. 

Time to Open Up

Even though the client was already delighted with the draft designs, we needed to be sure the custom inflatable product replica delivered on everything it promised, so we didn’t relax until we had set it up at our facility to check it over. 

We had to ensure that not only did it look as sensational as it did on the design, but that it stayed upright and kept its shape. Thankfully we needn’t have worried – it looked every bit as good as we’d hoped and we couldn’t wait to take it to the client to show them what we’d come up with.

Blowing Off the Lid

Seeing how pleased the client was with their custom inflatable product replica made all the hard work worthwhile. Not only did the inflatable only take around 10 minutes to set up making it incredibly easy to use, but it was designed to be used time and time again, ensuring the client got real value for money from their product. 

They couldn’t have been happier and the bottle has been used successfully at many promotional events, helping to highly effectively spread the organisation’s corporate message.

Uncap the Possibilities

If you’d like to become one of our many satisfied customers, then give us a call or drop us a line today. Creating bespoke product replicas for promotional purposes is what we specialise in and we pride ourselves on the authenticity and accuracy of our products – guaranteed!

True to our name at Inflatable Anything, we really can make anything out of an inflatable. So, when Nestle Professional approached us with a rather unusual brief for a promotional custom inflatable, we didn’t hesitate in saying ‘yes’!

Nestle Professional is an organisation which helps support food service operators through the provision of operational knowledge, promotion of the finest ingredients and general advice to help businesses succeed.

With a very special promotional event coming up on a P&O cruise ship, Nestle Professional wanted a truly one-off promotional custom inflatable that would provide a suitably eye-catching focal point to advertise their business.

And what better visual image to promote an organisation that nurtures entrepreneurship and business success, than a light bulb? Having come up with the basic idea, it was now up to us to turn the concept into a reality.

Light Bulb Moment

Having agreed with the client to produce a promotional custom inflatable in the shape of a light bulb, our designers now had to cover all the technical specifications to ensure the product worked in real life.

The client wanted the promotional custom inflatable to float in a pool on the cruise ship. It’s not often that we have to come up with a product that floats, but always keen to rise to the challenge, the design team set to work.

It was decided to incorporate a separate ‘donut’ base to the light bulb which would create a sturdy base for the light bulb to sit on. This also meant that the light bulb could be removed so the promotional custom inflatable could be used on it’s own. 

Designing the promotional custom inflatable so it was in two parts gave the product even greater flexibility.  The light bulb could be used on its own or together with the base, so it could be put together in various ways depending on the event and the occasion. Another light bulb moment for Inflatable Anything!

The light bulb inflatable measured two meters in height ensuring it had real visual impact and was 1.2 meters across.

Switching It On

As always, we made sure the client was completely satisfied with the design before going any further. 

The beauty of using state of the art CAD technology meant that the client could see an exact replica of their design before it went into production, so any glitches or difficulties were ironed out before the inflatable was actually made. 

This made for a much smoother and problem-free production process and ultimately, meant greater satisfaction for the customer who knew they were getting exactly what they asked for.

Having secured a firm ‘yes’ from Nestle Professional to go ahead and make the promotional custom inflatable, the production process was able to begin. 

Thanks to our experience and investment in the latest technology, we ensured the promotional custom inflatable was made quickly and flawlessly and was delivered to the client in plenty of time for their promotional event.

Making the Switch

The client was excited to see the end product and was super impressed with the results. The promotional custom inflatable created a real talking point at the cruise ship event and has since been used in a few different guises at other advertising events and occasions. 

The ability to switch the look of the promotional custom inflatable was a real selling point for Nestle Professional and has given the product a real sense of longevity and durability.

Another advantage to the promotional custom inflatable is the fact it only takes around 5 minutes to set up, a real bonus when the client is at a busy event. Being able to get set up quickly and easily is a complete win for Nestle Professional and they have been delighted with the product’s performance at numerous events.

Once again our team nailed the brief. It made sure the client not only received a promotional custom inflatable that ticked all the boxes with regard to visual impact and practical application, but it could also be utilised in a number of different ways at various events. 

Going over and above our commitment to deliver complete customer satisfaction is something we have become known for and we believe it goes some way to explain why we are one of the most trusted companies for custom-made inflatables in Australia.

Why not get in touch today? All you need is an idea and we’ll do the rest for you. Our expert design service is included free in the quotation and no matter what kind of event you want the inflatable for, we will make sure that what you get is completely unforgettable!

When the NSW Department of Education approached us to create a really special inflatable finish line arch, we jumped at the chance to help. 

The arch was to form an entry way for a high-profile event for the organisation, so it was important that the inflatable finish line arch was truly memorable. Creating lasting memories is what we do and we couldn’t wait to get started!

School Spectacular, held annually in New South Wales, brought together school communities from throughout the region, and the inflatable finish line arch was to be the entrance point for SpecFest, the outdoor entertainment hub for School Spectacular. 

Of the many highlights of School Spectacular, Spec Fest offered live music, activities, interactive activities, food, and refreshment stalls – everything that was needed for a great day out for the whole family. The inflatable finish line arch had to help entice people into the hub.

Back to the Classroom

Before Inflatable Anything could get stuck into the design for the inflatable finish line arch, they had to take various technical factors into account. 

The arch had to be freestanding but still needed to be completely secure, and it had to incorporate plenty of space for multiple banners for the sponsors and advertisers of the event. The client also requested that the design of the arch allowed for banners to be removed and replaced, so the inflatable finish line arch could be used again for future events.

And so, it was back to the classroom for the designers from Inflatable Anything. If they didn’t want to get in trouble with the teacher, they needed to get this design right!

As there were no leg supports on the inflatable finish line arch, the designers decided to include a selection of carefully located D-rings, which formed an alternative support structure for the inflatable finish line arch. This helped to ensure the full visual impact was fulfilled for the client, but without compromising the safety and security of the arch.

The internal dimensions of the inflatable finish line arch were 6 meters in width and 4 meters in height, which allowed plenty of space for people to pass in and out of the arch way.

It was decided to use a simple, fresh white colour for the background of the arch. This formed an eye-catching contrast to the vivid blue of the branding and helped it to really stand out at the event. Velcro banners were added to the inflatable finish line arch so that all the sponsors’ branding could be accommodated. 

Thankfully the NSW Department of Education loved the draft design and happily gave us the go ahead to manufacture the inflatable finish line arch for the event.

Into Production

Once the arch had been made, and before it was presented to the client, we wanted to make 100% sure it exactly fulfilled their expectations. The arch was inflated at our manufacturing facility and rigorously checked by our team of experts. 

We pride ourselves on attention to detail at Inflatable Anything and because every single product is bespoke, it is important that we make sure each and every inflatable is as perfect as the last.

Happy with the overall look and satisfied that it was suitably safe and secure, the inflatable finish line arch was able to be delivered to the client in plenty of time for their event.

Full Marks!

At the SpecFest event, the arch only took around 10 minutes to set up which was an added bonus for the team from the NSW Department of Education. This gave them more time to get everything else ready for the launch of their special event.

Once they saw their arch fully inflated, the clients were over the moon, and were hugely impressed by the size, the visual impact and the practicality of the inflatable finish line arch. They have since been able to use the arch again at subsequent events, due to the fact that the advertising banners are attached using Velcro, so can be easily removed and replaced. Yet another gold star for the team!

SpecFest was a huge success for the NSW Department of Education and we were delighted to be a part of such a memorable occasion. Definitely a good school report for us after this challenge.

You Think, We Create

Whatever the event, occasion or launch, Inflatable Anything can come up with the perfect focal point. There isn’t anything we can’t make into an inflatable for you. From the initial concept through to design, manufacture and delivery, we do everything for you – all you have to do is come up with the idea!

Speak to our team today to see your creation come to life!

At Inflatable Anything we are used to keeping our clients happy – it’s what we do – but our latest challenge for an event inflatable arch was all about making sure that not just one, but two clients were happy with our work. 

Moonlight Cinemas wanted a bespoke event inflatable arch to mark the entrance to its outdoor cinema events. Set up in the summer to make the most of the beautiful weather in Queensland and Victoria, the concept brought people together to watch films outdoors with food and drink stalls providing refreshment, as well as complimentary bean bags with tables to create a sense of comfort. 

An Event Inflatable Arch That Ticks All the Boxes

As outdoor events have become increasingly popular in recent years, the number of corporate sponsors have grown. As well as showcasing the entrance to the event, it was important that the sponsors of the occasion were featured prominently in the end product. 

The particular sponsors of this event, which was held in the stunning setting of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Victoria, were NAB. As one of the biggest banks in Australia, it was vital that their branding was strongly featured on the event inflatable arch. 

Practical elements also had to be taken into account. These included the fact that the event inflatable arch needed to clearly mark the entrance to the event and welcome guests at the same time. 

We  certainly had our work cut out for it with this project but we jumped at the opportunity to create a truly memorable event inflatable arch for our client and couldn’t wait to get started.

Audition Time

The event inflatable arch was to be the first point of contact for guests arriving at the Moonlight Cinemas event, so it was absolutely fundamental that the design had the ‘wow’ factor that the client wanted. And not just Moonlight Cinemas, but the corporate sponsors too. 

Our designers had to make sure they took into account multiple factors when brainstorming their ideas for the finished article. Never ones to shy away from a challenge, we soon settled on a number of themes to make sure we not only fulfilled, but exceeded, our clients’ expectations.

The main objective was to make sure the event inflatable arch had suitable visual impact, so this had to be incorporated into both the practical design and the final colour of the inflatable arch.

The key to good design is to know when to hold back. Rather than flooding the arch with lots of colours and images, the client decided to go for a more minimal design that let the branding and the wording speak for itself. 

And so, the design they came up with incorporated the simple slogan: “Enjoy the movie” – simple, yet highly effective. The branding of the bank was equally stripped back, so it really stood out. The NAB logo and their corporate message: ‘More than money’ had real visual impact, creating the perfect marriage between a subtle and meaningful message, and ensuring the sponsor received top billing.

Deciding to go for a stark black colour was a bold move, but as always, the client was delighted with their choice. Once again, we had nailed the brief and the client felt that the end design went over and above anything it could have imagined. 

Lights, Camera, Action!

Taking the design from concept to reality, we made sure that we delivered everything we had promised. Ensuring the clients were happy with the overall design, we set to work manufacturing the event inflatable arch ready for the spectacular event in the Royal Botanic Gardens.

On completion, the event inflatable arch was set up on site, which only took around 10 minutes. The clients were able to see it in situ right away and to say they were delighted with the inflatable arch, is something of an understatement. 

The event inflatable arch created a truly stunning entrance to the Moonlight Cinema’s signature event and the pictures emphasised its visual impact, particularly enhanced by the beautiful backdrop of the gardens. Our design team at Inflatable Anything certainly achieved their aim to create a lasting and visually impactful event inflatable arch which highlighted both the entrance to the event and its sponsors’ branding. Job done.

Create Something Memorable

If you have a special corporate event or launch coming up and you want a truly memorable icon to mark the occasion, then you can’t go wrong with a bespoke inflatable from Inflatable Anything. The enduring images speak for themselves, so get in touch today.

Bike SA run some of the biggest, mass participatory bike rides in southern Australia, so when they approached Inflatable Anything with a very specific brief for an inflatable start line arch, we knew we had to come up with something fantastic for them!

Bike SA wanted the arch to be used at multiple marathons, races and outdoor events. It had to be able to fit multiple cyclists through the archway. It also had to have ample space for numerous banners, to make sure that all the different sponsors’ branding could be clearly seen. 

Because the inflatable start line arch was to be used for numerous events throughout the year, the arch had to allow for the banner designs to be changed regularly.

Square Peg in a Round Hole

Inflatable Anything was under orders to come up with an eye-catching design for Bike SA and so our team of professional and capable designers were set to work straight away.

It soon became clear that a conventional archway wouldn’t be big enough to fit all the sponsorship banners that were needed. The design had to ensure that while fulfilling its practical objective of being able to fit all the riders through the middle, the inflatable start line arch also had to display numerous sponsorship banners at the same time. 

As we’ve had years of experience developing custom inflatable arches, we recognised how important it was to Bike SA to make sure that their sponsors were kept happy with prominent banners on display.

And so, we suggested the use of a ‘square’ shape rather than a rounded arch, which would create a greater surface area for the inflatable start line arch. Double sided Velcro was also incorporated into the design, so that all the banners could be securely attached to the archway. 

The team at Inflatable Anything really do think of everything when it comes to their designs, and so for added rigidity, D-ring tie down points are a standard inclusion of the inflatable start line arch. This was to make sure that whatever the weather, the arch would stay exactly in place.

With internal dimensions of 4 meters in width and 3.5 meters in height, the inflatable start line arch still provided a good-sized opening for the cyclists to pass through.

The next task for our designers was to make sure that the colour of the inflatable start line arch really ‘popped’ for maximum visual impact. 

Using the universal Pantone Matching System (PMS), we were able to guarantee the colour finish would be an exact match of their original brand colour. This meant that the corporate logos and branding of Bike SA’s sponsors looked precisely as they should.

When we ensure our clients sponsors are properly represented, we know that everything goes so much smoother for our clients.

On Your Bike!

Bike SA were eager to see the design concept that we had come up with and to make sure that we had managed to successfully include all the elements of their design brief. They needn’t have worried, because as always we exceeded expectations and Bike SA were delighted with the design.

Having gained approval for their plan, the inflatable start line arch went into production straight away and the end product was delivered to the client on time and on budget.

3,2,1…and Go!

The client couldn’t wait to see the inflatable start line arch in action that we had created for them. The pictures from the first set of events helped to show just how impactful and professional the archway looked. Bike SA were thrilled with their inflatable start line arch and particularly liked the fact it could be set up in just 10 minutes, saving valuable time before busy events and races. 

Thanks to the meticulous design and attention to detail, the inflatable start line arch could be set up and taken down multiple times, and the display banners could be changed as often as was required, meaning the product was able to offer the ultimate flexibility.

Bike SA were so happy with the service they received from us at Inflatable Anything, they have moved things up a gear, by placing many subsequent orders for printed banners. After a number of events and races, the inflatable start line arch is still going strong.
