Cleaning up the soda blasting industry one inflatable at a time Soda and sandblasting, being one of Australian largest industrial service and maintenance industries, has come under recent scrutiny for its negative environmental impacts and inability to be conducted in a clean and contained manner. A large portion of business being conducted by the sand and soda blasting industry is onsite work in open areas, with little ability to contain their polluting media . Given the environmental impact, local councils have recently begun enforcing rules and regulations regarding soda and sand blasting in their areas.  The four main concerns raised by councils in regards to blasting is Air quality, Noise, Water quality and waste management. In the past, most blasting businesses conducted their work in the open with little to no containment, resulting in air quality around the blasting area being greatly degraded by the emissions of particle matter from the blasting. Noise from soda b...

When you do a job well, invariably word-of-mouth leads to more jobs.  When you do it excellently, you can get 3 new jobs like we did on this KIIS job for Australian Radio Network (“ARN”). When ARN was looking for some custom illuminated inflatable logo KIIS lips with programmable internal illumination, they had no hesitation in contacting Giant Inflatables to do the job.  The best referral is a job well done and that is what we deliver time and time again. After we produced 2 highly visible inflatable shelters, we were asked to make an inflatable logo that had internal programmable lighting.

When we created our first Giant Inflatable Branded Jersey for the Corporate Sponsor of a sports team we created the shape and design which would accommodate our inflatable technology. Our first attempt was the Cycling Australia Jersey with a replaceable Velcro patch with the name of the event as a removable banner. It worked perfectly adequately in that it was a Giant Inflatable and therefore highly visible with clear branding and notification of the event name.  But it was not as precise as other replicas we had created in a smaller version. Our next request to create a Giant Inflatable Jersey was by the Sponsoring Insurance Company NIB who set up an entire playground with fantastic branding.  Standing out from the crowd was the enormous, highly visible and highly branded NSW Blues Jersey. Over time our technology improved, our R&D successfully developed new and better inflatable technologies capable of more specific, varied and versatile si...
