What are Inflatable Arches?
inflatable arches are extravagant balloon arches for brand promotion that are frequently used for outdoor events, conventions and other occasions as well. These have become even more popular over the years. These sealed air structures that are made of durable materials can be custom-made in size, colour and details. The package includes inflate/deflate & overpressure valves, a pump, a portable bag and tie-down ropes.
What is a Custom Inflatable Arch?
A custom inflatable arch is a balloon structure designed to resemble an archway with a curved shape and can be fully customized with logos, colours, and graphics to represent a particular brand, event, or organization. These are perfect in digital printing at 360° on single or both sides.
It serves as a prominent and eye-catching entrance or backdrop, providing a visually appealing and impactful way to showcase a brand or mark the starting/finishing point of an event.
What is a Giant Inflatable Arch?
A giant inflatable arch is a large, inflatable structure that is shaped like an arch. It is commonly used for different purposes such as marking the entrance or finish line of a race, promoting a brand or event, or simply creating a visually striking element in various settings.
These are made of durable and flexible materials such as PVC or nylon and are inflated with air using a blower or an electric pump. They typically feature vibrant colours, and custom graphics, and can be illuminated with LED lights for added visibility. These are easy to set up, portable, and can be deflated and stored when not in use.
What is the difference between an Inflatable Arch and an Airtight Arch?
An inflatable arch needs either an internal or external blower to inflate with a constant power supply. While an airtight arch needs to be inflated once and can stay up to one month without being re-inflated.

The package comes together with the mounting supplies and a convenient carrier bag. Makes it portable and easy to set up right away!

How to choose the right Inflatable Arch?
After learning more about inflatable advertising advantages, it’s time to decide which product is right for you. To optimize your branded inflatable product, there are vital elements to consider, such as:
1.) Location and Weather
First, specify the area where your promotional arch will be mounted. Locating the spot will allow you to define the tools and equipment required. Having a deflated archway before the day of the event ends will definitely create a negative impression on the audience.
2.) Design and theme
Select colours that complement the location where your event will take place. For outdoor events, brighter colours will create a more visible appearance for your business. Your promotional product should match the theme of the event. For example, if your event is a Christmas party, use red and green as your primary colours for your balloon arch.
3.) Budget allocation
Apparently the sturdier the material and bigger the size, the more costly the product will be. Determine the budget allowance before you start ordering. You should also remember that the size of the product will influence the freight. It goes without saying that the larger an item is, the more pricey it will be to dispatch it and the more space it will take up while storing it.
4.) People
The colour you use should correspond to the event’s viewers. If it’s a business affair, prefer something neutral with less bright elements, to avoid distracting people from their work.
What are the common shapes of Inflatable Arches?
The inflatable arches come in various shapes that correspond to your needs. You can select among the semi-round, semi-square, and hex-shape.

Do Inflatable Arches require constant inflation?
Inflatable arches come in different types, each with its unique features. The two most common types are the arch with an internal blower and the arch with an external blower. As the name suggests, the internal blower product has a blower inside that keeps it inflated. On the other hand, the external blower product has a blower outside that pumps air into it.
It’s worth noting that both types require a constant power supply to inflate the balloon and to maintain its shape and structure. These two types require the use of continuous electricity, so they will need the blower on during use. The electricity required is 220V /110V. The package includes the blower, integrated d-rings and tie-down ropes.
1) The Inflatable arch with an external blower
This type has a blower outside to inflate the air.
2) The Inflatable arch with an internal blower
This type has its blower located inside the arch itself.
On the other hand, the Airtight arch doesn’t need constant inflation. Unlike the other two types, this arch is made of airtight material that keeps the air inside. This means that once it’s inflated, the shape stays for a few weeks or a month before it gets deflated. The airtight is ideal for outdoor events where power sources may not be available or for situations where noise could be an issue.
Are Inflatable Archways safe to inflate?
In general, inflatable archways are safe to inflate when proper precautions and guidelines are followed. It is important to adhere to the instructions and safety guidelines for setup, inflation, and use. Some key considerations for safety include:
1. Follow the instructions: Always read and understand the manual instructions for inflating, securing, and using the product.
2. Choose a suitable location: Ensure the area in which it will be set up is free of obstacles, sharp objects, or potential hazards that could damage the product or pose a safety risk.
3. Proper anchoring: Make sure the product is securely anchored or tied down properly. This helps prevent it from tipping over or getting blown away by the wind.
4. Monitor inflation pressure: Do not overinflate the beyond the recommended pressure. Use an appropriate air pump and pressure gauge to make sure that it is not under or over-inflated, as it can affect its stability and durability. The air pump is included in the package.
5. Watch for weather conditions: Avoid setting up or using these products in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or storms. These can pose safety risks and potentially damage the product.
6. Regular inspection and maintenance: Check the product regularly for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. Repair or replace any damaged parts promptly and keep the product clean and dry when not in use.

What are the materials used to make an Inflatable Arch?
The materials commonly used to make our custom inflatable products include:
1. Outer 420D Dacron Cover
420D Dacron is used for the outer covering of the arch. Quality, durability, and consistency are some of the best qualities of Dacron. Unlike natural fibres, dacron does not absorb liquid and is mildew-resistant. The versatility of synthetic fibres has earned them an important and well-deserved place in the textile industry.
2. Middle with PE Fabric
The middle part of the arch has a PE Fabric, known for its beneficial properties such as low density, and incredibly low moisture retention with water and mould resistance.
3. High-quality TPU bladder
The internal part of the arch has TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), which has beneficial properties including low warping, lightweight, durable, chemical and abrasion resistance.
Overall, the combination of the Dacron cover, PE fabric and TPU creates a sturdy and lightweight inflatable arch that is easy to transport and set up for various outdoor events.
How to set up an Inflatable Arch?
All custom inflatable arches come with everything you need to set up, transport, and store them quickly and easily. An accompanying carry bag, tie-down ropes, and stakes are typically included. The process of setting up this product doesn’t take long at all. You can set this up in as fast as three steps.
1.) You can simply lay it flat, attach the ropes and blower, and guide it upward as it inflates. As soon as it has been inflated, secure the ropes and weight source and you’re ready with your business.
2.) If the stakes are embedded in dirt or grass, tie the ropes to them and embed them firmly in the ground. If you are working on other surfaces, such as cement, you should secure the ropes using weight bags, water bags, or nearby buildings.
3.) Make sure you have a continuous power source, such as a portable generator, for constant-air arches. Additionally, it’s a good idea to keep a backup blower on hand. Replacements are likely to be available from your supplier. In case they are not available, most home improvement stores carry these airtight solutions products.
