Branded Inflatable Arches

Branded inflatable arches are sealed-air arches printed in full colour, used to frame finish lines, entrances and activation zones at events. 

Gala Graphics makes the INFL8 arch in three models by tube diameter, Club, Sprint and Elite, in widths from 6m to 12m, each printed edge to edge in dye sublimation. 

The sealed air-beam design inflates in minutes with an electric pump and holds its shape for up to twenty days with no blower or mains power. Buy an inflatable arch, enquire about the range or download a brochure.

Choosing an inflatable arch

The three models differ by tube diameter, which sets how bold and tall the arch reads and how wide a span it holds. A larger tube gives more presence and covers a wider entrance. Pick the model by the scale of your event and the width you need to span.

Club, 60cm tubes

The entry point into the range, at 6m wide. It gives a clear, professional entrance without dominating the space, which suits running clubs and charity fun runs, regional motorsport paddocks, community events and sports festivals, and compact trade show entrances. Full-colour dye sublimation still runs across the main body, so a smaller footprint keeps the branding bright and photo-ready. Buy the Club arch.

Sprint, 80cm tubes

The mid-range model, in 6m and 8m widths. The wider tubing carries a bolder, taller presence for larger entrances, bigger finish lines and sponsor activations that need to be seen across a field or car park. Buy the Sprint arch

Elite, 90cm tubes

The largest model, in 8m and 12m widths. The heaviest tubing spans the widest entrances and gives the strongest visual presence, suited to national events, major finish lines and large sponsor branding. Buy the Elite arch.

What sizes do inflatable arches come in?
Widths of 6m, 8m and 12m across the Club, Sprint and Elite models, with heights from 4m to 4.8m. The model sets the tube diameter, 60cm, 80cm or 90cm.
What is the difference between the Club, Sprint and Elite?
Tube diameter and span. The Club has 60cm tubes at 6m wide for smaller events, the Sprint has 80cm tubes in 6m and 8m widths, and the Elite has 90cm tubes in 8m and 12m widths for the widest entrances and the strongest presence.
Do inflatable arches need a constant air supply?
No. They inflate in 10 to 15 minutes with the included electric pump and then hold firm for up to twenty days without a running blower or mains power.
