Inflatable arches elicit some of the strongest opinions, both pro and con, of all the major elements of event infrastructure. They're easy to use (flip a switch and stand back) and relatively low cost, but are they too informal? They can be difficult to use in windy conditions, but are far more versatile on uneven terrain than hard truss structures.Get more news about Airtight Bottle,you can vist our website!

As is so often the case, a lot of the value of an inflatable arch is built into the initial investment. You can buy cheap, and be frustrated and disappointed, or spend more, and own a piece of equipment that will be serviceable for many years. And because we're in the event business, there's a little more involved than simple ROI. Price will quickly become the least of your worries when the equipment breaks on Saturday morning and you are left with nothing but a sad, inexpensive puddle of deflated vinyl at your starting line.

The risk of critical failure at the worst possible time should to be factored into almost any buying decision in the event business, and that is especially true when it comes to inflatables.

You see where I'm going with this. In my business at MPA Event Graphics, I've tried sourcing and selling inexpensive arches. It wasn't a failure, it was a disaster. Having used inflatables of one kind or another for the past 40 years, here's some of what I've learned.
Many of the imported inflatable arches currently being sold directly or resold by U.S.-based distributors are poly fabric coated vinyl -- basically a lightweight vinyl bladder covered with a digitally printed fabric skin. The main advantages here are low cost and the digital printing – which can look pretty fancy right out of the box.

Unfortunately, once your arch is printed, that's pretty much it. You can't retrofit the fabric skin with Velcro or self-adhesive graphics to hide or change what's already there. If the balloon is punctured, the surface will not accept the universal quick fix in that department: duct tape. And typically, these types of inflatables are not built to last. The fabric skin, which is dye sublimated, is subject to weathering, fading and delamination. Other than that, what's not to love?
