What are the Different types of Advertising Inflatables?

One of the great things about inflatables and inflatable advertising is the versatility offered, and because every situation is different Boulder Blimp offers all inflatable types.

 

 

Cold-Air Inflatables

Cold-Air Inflatables are the most common type of Advertising inflatable on the market. Cold-Air Inflatables are usually the most durable and typically offer the best bang for the Buck. A great benefit to Cold-Air inflatables is that they are completely customizable and can be made into complex shapes and designs. Cold-Air Inflatables are inflated with a continuous blower or fan which keeps the inflatable shape and allows air to circulate throughout. The fact that it is not completely sealed and is always connected to the fan allows the inflatable to stay up and inflated regardless of weather, air pressure, small holes or punctures. Boulder Blimp Cold-Air inflatables are also be made using heavy weight Vinyl Coated Nylon material which adds to their durability.

 

Helium Inflatables

Helium inflatables are great for events that require an inflatable that needs to float high in the Air. Most helium inflatables are able to go as high as 150 ft off the ground. Helium inflatables are great for outdoor events and can also be used indoors. There also options to drop coupons and operate remotely(although this is expensive is it possible). The main drawback to Helium inflatables is that they cannot withstand any puncture, tears or rips. You must also source helium as it cannot be shipped. Although not as durable as cold air inflatables, Helium inflatables offer a great option for the correct situation.

 

Sealed Air Inflatables

The beset feature of sealed inflatables is that they require neither a continuous blower or a specialty gas like helium. Sealed inflatables are usually standard shapes like dome tents and race arches and tend to be less customizable. Sealed Inflatables are a great option when power is not available. They are a great option for mud runs, obstacle course runs or whenever you need to be able to set up without the power from a generator or a standard outlet. Sealed inflatables tent to cost more than their cold-air counterpart but are usually made out of durable material.
