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. Arches are one of six ranges in our outdoor event branding collection.

Inflatable arch sizes

Five arches across the three models, from a 6m club entrance to a 12m span:

• 6m x 4m INFL8 Club arch, the entry point into the range
• 6m x 4m INFL8 Sprint arch, the same span with bolder 80cm tubes
• 8m x 4.6m INFL8 Sprint arch, a wider entrance for bigger finish lines
• 8m x 4.8m INFL8 Elite arch, the heaviest 90cm tubing at 8m
• 12m x 4.8m INFL8 Elite arch, the widest span in the range

Not sure which span you need? Call 01709 911948 and we will size it against your entrance or start line.

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 6m Sprint arch or the 8m 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 8m Elite arch or the 12m Elite arch.

Works Well With

An arch frames the entrance or the finish. The rest of the outdoor event branding range brands everything between them.

• Printed flags line the approach and lift your name above the crowd from further out than an arch can reach.
• PVC banners and outdoor frame banners carry sponsor messaging along the route or the perimeter.
• Upright outdoor banners mark the run-in, the registration point and the sponsor zones.
• Café barriers define hospitality, queueing and finish-line channels on the ground.
• A printed gazebo or branded marquee gives you the covered base behind the arch for registration, timing or hospitality.
