Buying from the manufacturer removes a markup and a middleman, and it means the person answering the phone has actually built one.
What we build
- Advertising blimps — Helium blimps from 10 to 30 feet, flown on a tether above the building. Visible from roads that cannot see your sign.
- Cold-air inflatables — Ground-standing shapes, characters and product replicas, run on a quiet blower. No helium.
- Round balloons — The classic sales-event balloon, 4.5 to 14 feet across. The cheapest way into outdoor advertising.

How it works
Tell us the site and the season and we will size the balloon for it. Wind matters more than most people expect, and a balloon that is too large for the location spends the weekend on the ground.
Museums and civic buildings
Civic buildings often cannot alter their frontage. A tethered balloon advertises an exhibition without touching the architecture.
Bridal and event retail
Seasonal show weekends drive the year. Being the visible stand or shop for those two days is worth more than a month of ordinary advertising.
Trade shows and expos
Indoor stands compete at eye level, where everyone is equal. An inflatable above the stand is visible from the door of the hall.
Garden centres and nurseries
The garden trade has a six-week spring peak and then goes quiet. Seasonal advertising should be as temporary as the season, which is what an inflatable is.
Grand openings
A new business gets one week of genuine curiosity from the neighbourhood. A balloon spends that week telling everyone within sight that something has changed here. It is the cheapest element of an opening budget and usually the most photographed.
Questions we get
Cold-air or helium?
Helium flies above the building; cold-air stands on the ground and needs a power point. Helium wins on distance, cold-air wins on cost and simplicity.
Can we reuse it next year?
That is the normal pattern. Stored dry and out of the sun, a balloon comes out for the same sale for several years running.
How long does a balloon last?
The polyurethane we weld is rated in years of outdoor use, not weeks. What wears first is usually the printing on a balloon flown in strong sun every day.
