What more can one ask for ……… appreciation from a client at the completion of a stressful job, completed in under 3 weeks. The sets for children’s stage show – ‘Barney’s Lets Imagine’ comprised of grass patches, and a tree with a baby bird in an egg. These sets had to inflate on demand and grow on stage. The elephant was an inflatable costume manned with a 2 person team. These kinds of 3D inflatables are almost impossible to pre-design completely. We prototype them first from a basic design then the art and crafting on the floor begins. It’s hands on demanding work with ideas and trials, testing and tweaking, until the magic spark ignites and the solution soon follows.

Often the motivation for a client choosing Giant inflatables is because they feel trust in our ability to understand their needs. Our design team rise to the challenge of realizing 2 dimensional images and transforming them into 3D forms. This Hybrid arch had to communicate - like a conversation - with the guests arriving for a convention at the renowned Hogs Breath café. Our brief was complimented with the toy hog and the challenge was on.

A Common question we are asked when requested to produce an inflatable replica product is :- ...... " how high it should be made ". In order to answer that we need to know a bit of background to the products’ use. 2 questions are the most informative to us in enabling us to give correct advice. 1] Will it be used indoors or out ? 2] Will it be used on the ground or on a rooftop ? In general , inflatable replica products used indoors are seldom higher than 4m but on average are made 3m high. If they are to be used on a rooftop they need to be big enough not to be lost in the scale of a building and therefore are usually 7m high but can be made to 6m. Outdoors on the ground – these are usually at events of some kind, either a field day, concert, race meeting or other outdoor event where a brand building excersise is the marketing requirement. The inflatables for this type of event are made 4m- 5m. This example of the Inflatable Hype can shows a 7m can being very effective (at t...

Giant Inflatables was honored to be chosen as the supplier of inflatable product for this prestigious event. The inflatable back screens which floated on the water at the water polo pool were a real challenge, with 20m of digitally printed signage trying to blow away in the wind.Luke Osland quipped (when we had sorted the problem out) “that’s why we use local suppliers”. It didn’t end there – for the event organizers had forgotten that the screen was higher than the winners’ podium and the cameras just couldn’t see though the huge inflatable wedge. So again another midnight service call took place to insert 6 deflation Zips into the unit so it could be deflated rapidly for the winners’ awards and re-inflate for the next round. Giant Inflatables also supplied the set of ‘Marker buoys’ for the open water swimming events for which the ‘branded inflatable arch’ was used as the start and finish line.
