Frequently Asked Questions About Inflatable Characters & Mascots
It’s a freestanding, three-dimensional display of your team mascot, brand character, or animal. Use it to welcome fans at a stadium entrance, help visitors find your trade show booth, or give guests a spot to take photos with your mascot.
A sports mascot represents a school or team. Think of a tiger wearing your home jersey and team colors. A brand character recreates a figure customers recognize from your logo, packaging, or advertising. A giant inflatable animal features the animal itself, such as a lifelike tiger or a playful gorilla for a themed event.
Yes. We use your artwork, illustrations, or reference photos to recreate the features people recognize, from your mascot’s expression to the lettering on its jersey. If you have brand color references or images from several angles, include them with your artwork so we can match the details.
Our custom inflatables range from 6 feet to 30 feet or more. You can customize the pose, colors, expression, and printed details, including uniforms, jersey numbers, and logos. A waving mascot can welcome fans at the gate, while a character in its signature pose can make your brand recognizable from across the show floor.
Yes. You’ll receive a 3D mockup to review and approve before production begins. You can check the shape from different angles, review the colors and logo placement, and request adjustments while the design is still on screen.
Only constant-air inflatables need continuous power. We offer two options.
- Constant air, also called continuous air, uses a quiet blower that runs while your mascot is on display. If you have power at your display location, this option accommodates more complex shapes and generally costs less than a comparable sealed-air design.
- Sealed air holds its shape after you inflate it with the included pump. Choose sealed air if you won’t have access to continuous power where the mascot will be displayed. Once inflated, you can disconnect the pump.
Your mascot is made from custom-printed fabric with fade-proof graphics. Each order includes the finished inflatable, anchoring accessories, and either a quiet blower for a constant-air model or an inflation pump for a sealed-air model. Each product description lists the fabric and the exact equipment and accessories included, so you can see what you’re getting before you order.
The main factors are size, design complexity, and whether you choose constant air or sealed air. For example, a 6-foot character with a simple silhouette generally costs less than a 20-foot mascot with outstretched arms and a sculpted tail. For a price based on your own character, include your artwork and preferred size when requesting a quote.
Standard production takes 10 to 12 business days. Allow additional time for shipping. Need it sooner? Rush production is available. Include your event date when requesting a quote, and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.
Yes. For an indoor display, check the mascot’s height and footprint against your available space, including overhead clearance. For an outdoor display, choose a location where you can use the anchoring system specified for your model. If you plan to use the mascot in several venues with different power arrangements, sealed air gives you the flexibility to display it without a running blower.
Use the setup instructions supplied with your mascot. They cover inflation, anchoring, and the operating limits for your model. Before event day, check what your venue allows on the display surface, especially if ground stakes aren’t permitted. For outdoor use, follow the wind and weather limits in your instructions.
The mascots on this page are freestanding displays for sidelines, entrances, and fan photo areas. For a game-day entrance players can run through, explore our Inflatable Sports Tunnels & Helmets.
