Inflatable spheres and balls run from 30 cm to 5–6 m diameter. Small hand-held spheres through to large suspended and ground-mounted balls. The workable range narrows once print detail, lighting or suspension is added. Arches, mascots, replicas and custom shapes are defined per product category: sized against the venue opening, sight lines and transport limits rather than a catalogue size. Send the target dimensions and the constraint that drives them.
Specification Reference
Custom inflatable specifications
The reference figures used across InflatCraft product pages and buyer guides: size ranges, material specifications, electric pump performance and the conditions lead time depends on. Final specifications are confirmed per project in the quotation.
Capabilities
- Manufacturer of custom advertising inflatables
- Large-format custom inflatable structures
- Multi-material construction in PVC and PVC mesh
- Customisation of size, logo placement, anchor points and air valves
Size
How large can a custom inflatable be?
Size follows the product category and the installation, not a catalogue. Spheres have a published range; shaped structures are sized to the venue they go into.
Size ranges
| Category | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Inflatable spheres and balls | 30 cm to 5–6 m diameter | Small hand-held spheres through to large suspended and ground-mounted balls. The workable range narrows once print detail, lighting or suspension is added. |
| Arches, mascots, replicas and custom shapes | Defined per product category | Sized against the venue opening, sight lines and transport limits rather than a catalogue size. Send the target dimensions and the constraint that drives them. |
Materials
Which material suits which structure?
Material thickness is chosen by what the structure has to do — span, carry load, or stand in sustained wind — rather than set once for every project.
Material specifications
| Specification | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Double-layer PVC | General construction for custom advertising inflatables | The default build for most promotional structures. |
| 0.4 mm PVC | Large-format projects | Used on delivered large-format orders. |
| 0.5 / 0.6 / 0.7 mm PVC mesh | Engineered structures | Specified where the structure carries load, spans further, or faces sustained wind exposure. |
Air systems
Which electric pump does it need?
Two electric pumps are specified, each with measured airflow and pressure. The right one depends on the structure, the setting and how long it stays inflated.
Air system specifications
| Pump | Airflow | Pressure | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 650 W electric pump | 1,600–2,000 L/min | 2.0 psi | Smaller spheres, compact displays and short-duration indoor installations |
| 1600 W electric pump | 4,800–5,200 L/min | 4.5 psi | Large-format structures, arches and continuously inflated outdoor displays |
Both pumps cover 110–240 V at 50–60 Hz, so the same air system suits 110 V and 220–240 V markets. Confirm the plug type for the destination country.
Artwork and print
Which artwork files help print review?
Logo signs, product replicas, mascot graphics and sponsor panels need usable artwork before print placement can be approved. The artwork guide explains which files reduce proofing delays.
Vector logo files, flat packaging artwork, color references and clear product photos help confirm print scale, seam impact and visible faces before production starts.
Outdoor setup
How should anchoring and ballast be planned?
Outdoor projects need the site surface, footprint, fixing method, public access and shutdown plan confirmed before quotation. The anchoring guide explains what buyers should send before production starts.
Stakes, ballast, ropes, straps and barriers are project accessories, not universal defaults. They depend on the product shape, installation surface, venue rules and weather plan.
Lead time
How long does production take?
Lead time is given as a range with the conditions it depends on. It is fixed per project once the brief is complete, never promised in advance.
Lead time
- Typical: Bulk production typically takes 3–8 days for simple items, 7–15 days for standard custom work and 15–25 days for complex or large pieces, counted from final design approval
- Can be shorter: Repeat orders on an approved design can run shorter
- Freight and import time come on top. Lead time is confirmed per project once artwork, size, quantity and destination are fixed; treat any figure quoted before that as indicative.
