INFL8 Inflatable Arches

Custom Printed Event Branding That Towers Above the Rest

Some products whisper their presence. This one shouts it from fifty feet away.

The INFL8 Inflatable Arch is the latest evolution in Gala Tent’s branded event range — a bold, sealed-air structure designed to frame entrances, mark finish lines, and give your brand the kind of visibility no banner stand could ever dream of.

Some products whisper their presence. This one shouts it from fifty feet away.

Made from the same heavy-duty Dacron fabric as our INFL8 Inflatable Event Shelter, these arches are built to last, easy to deploy, and every inch printable in full colour. Whether you’re lining the start of a marathon or welcoming crowds to a trade show, the INFL8 Arch gives your setup instant authority.

About the INFL8 Inflatable Arch

We’ve seen our fair share of inflatable arches over the years, and we weren’t impressed — noisy blowers, sagging frames, and constant fiddling with pressure. So, we built our own.

The Gala Shade INFL8 Inflatable Arch uses sealed-air tubing that keeps its shape for up to 20 days between refills. There’s no continuous fan, no cables draped across walkways, and no risk of your arch deflating mid-event.

Wrapped in high-performance Dacron, the same material used in marine sails and high-end performance shelters, the INFL8 Arch stands solid and sleek — no creases, no wrinkles, just clean lines and stunning print quality.

Available in five models, the range scales from compact arches for community races right up to the giant 12m Elite — a gateway worthy of festivals, stadiums, and motorsport paddocks.

Printing and Branding Options

If you can imagine it, we can print it.

Every INFL8 Arch is finished using dye-sublimation printing, which means your artwork is fused into the Dacron surface at a molecular level. It won’t scratch, peel, or fade.

You get full creative freedom — logos, gradients, photographic textures, even fully themed designs that match your event layout. Want flames licking the edges of a racing arch? Easy. Prefer crisp sponsor logos with clean white negative space? Done.

And because we handle all artwork and printing, you can expect the same precision colour management we apply to every custom-printed Gala Tent product.

Setup, Portability, and Storage

A big structure shouldn’t mean a big headache.

Each INFL8 Arch is inflated in minutes using a standard electric pump, and when it’s time to pack up, the tubing folds down into the weighted base feet, which zip closed to form a self-contained storage case. No separate bag, no loose parts, no drama.

They’re light enough for one or two people to handle, easy to move between events, and tough enough to survive the British weather.

Where You’ll Find INFL8 Arches

Pretty much anywhere people want to make a statement:

Motorsport paddocks and start grids — branded team entrances, sponsor gateways, pitlane markers

Running and cycling events — start/finish lines that demand attention

Festivals and exhibitions — show entrances and photo ops that look incredible on social feeds

Corporate activations — product launches, roadshows, and brand experiences

The INFL8 Arch is the physical embodiment of “Look at us.” And it works.
