How to choose the right model?

Where do inflatable columns work best?

Inflatable columns are a versatile advertising tool that perform just as well at large-scale public events as they do at smaller promotional activations. Their portability and quick setup mean one set can serve a wide range of completely different events. Here's where advertising columns deliver the biggest impact:

  • Sports competitions and events: set up in pairs to mark start and finish lines, race arches and fan zones, while showcasing sponsor logos front and centre.
  • Trade shows and outdoor events: mark your stand from a distance and guide visitors straight to your zone, making your brand stand out from the competition.
  • Store openings and promotions: grab the attention of passers-by outside shops, retail parks and service points, announcing a sale or grand opening.
  • Concerts and festivals: perfect for entrances, stages and food and drink areas, and with added LED lighting they make an impact after dark too.
  • Sponsor zones and conferences: build brand presence subtly yet effectively at guest registration desks, entrances and information points.
  • Car dealerships and outdoor showcases: highlight the featured product and give the event a polished, professional finish.

What heights do inflatable columns come in?

We offer columns in four heights: 2 m, 3 m, 4 m and 5 m. The 2 m and 3 m models have a diameter of 0.95 m, while the 4 m and 5 m variants measure 1.4 m. The taller the column, the bigger the advertising surface and the better the visibility from a distance.

About this category

What is an inflatable column made of?

Ario inflatable columns are made from durable PVC-coated polyester fabric with a weight of 300 g/m², so they keep their shape and vibrant colours even during long, multi-hour outdoor campaigns. Inside the structure sits a built-in, quiet blower that keeps the column fully inflated for the entire duration of your event.

Each column is available in one of four heights – 2 m, 3 m, 4 m and 5 m. The 2 m and 3 m models have a diameter of 0.95 m, while the larger 4 m and 5 m variants measure 1.4 m, giving you an even bigger advertising surface and greater visibility. The taller the column, the more your brand stands out above the crowd.

The set includes everything you need to get started right away: an inflatable column with a built-in quiet blower, full surface UV printing, a set of guy ropes, a set of ground stakes, a mallet, and a convenient carry bag. Every column comes with a full 24-month warranty.

Where do advertising columns work best?

Inflatable columns are one of the most versatile outdoor advertising tools available. Their tall, slim shape takes up very little floor space while delivering outstanding visibility from a distance. They work brilliantly anywhere you need to mark out a space fast and build brand recognition.

Set up in pairs, they create a striking entrance gateway or mark a race route at sporting events. Used individually, they're perfect for highlighting an exhibition stand, sponsor zone or guest check-in point. Thanks to their light weight and quick setup, the same set of columns can be reused across dozens of different events throughout the season.

How are columns branded with UV print?

We print the entire surface of the column with 100% custom artwork using premium UV printing. This technology guarantees vivid, saturated colours along with strong resistance to water, UV rays and abrasion, so your advertising keeps its professional look throughout its entire service life.

You can upgrade your column with practical add-on options:

  • Additional LED lighting – makes the column stand out after dark and at evening events too.
  • Velcro strips for interchangeable banners – lets you swap out the graphics quickly without replacing the whole product, ideal for running multiple campaigns.

As a UK-based manufacturer, we fulfil orders within 3 to 10 business days and back every column with a 24-month warranty.

Setup takes under 10 minutes. Simply take the column out of the carry bag, unfold it, secure it with the included ground stakes and guy ropes, then switch on the built-in blower – the column is instantly ready to go.
