Custom Inflatables

One of the most overlooked choices when buying an inflatable is also one of the most important ones: Do you go shiny or matte? At first glance, it might seem like a purely cosmetic choice. After all, the shape stays the same, the size stays the same, and the amount of air inside certainly doesn’t change (that would be interesting, right?!👀) But anyone who has spent time around inflatables knows that’s not the whole story.

#Trends in the looner world don’t arrive with press(ure) releases😛 they grow quietly, but they are noticable! Someone experiments with a bigger size, manufacturers see the demand rising and they act on it. Someone rides a new mylar balloon and BANG (not the pop) a new trend is emerging. Someone orders a custom shape that makes the rest of us think, wait… that’s possible? And before you know it, the entire scene shifts.

A custom-designed inflatable — or something close to it — is a powerful way to give real shape to your looner fantasy. It’s kind of magic✨ The owner of Guilty Pressure (and writer of the blog you’re reading right now) recently went through this process and decided to document the experience. Read on to find out more. Quick disclaimer: The woman shown in the GIF below is not real — the inflatable is.
