So, you can choose a cheap version of it and end up disappointed and frustrated after a while, or spend a bit more and own a peace of mind of equipment that will serve you for many years. Choosing the right race arch is not hard but also it's not the easiest thing as well. There are some things you should consider.

Fabric vs Vinyl

Most of the inflatable race arch options you will find on the market are made of poly fabric coated vinyl which is lightweight, affordable and is perfect for digital printing making the advertisement to look pretty fancy. However, you should keep in mind that once you print the arch you can not retrofit the fabric skin or self-adhesive graphics to change or hide what is already printed on the arch. When it comes to this type of arch it is important to be careful from where you are making the purchase as many companies offer poor versions that are not built to last.

Vinyl only

Your other option is to purchase an arch made of vinyl only. The vinyl used for a blow up arch feels and looks like standard vinyl but is a little bit stretchy. The lighter the vinyl that lighter the arch but if you go for a very light arch you may need to sacrifice some durability. The best inflatable race arch you can find is well-sewn along with a double-stitched, tight interior that will not stretch appreciably. This is important because if the seems stretch easily the arch will start losing air and will be hard for you to keep it inflated.

Shape

When it comes to inflatable balloon arch, you can choose between three different shapes. Angled corners give the arch a stable, solid look, square 90-degree corners are like a doorway and continuous curve arches which are like a rainbow. From all three options, the doorway or simple 90-degree arch require the least fabrication what makes it the most cost-effective option. But if you need a larger size inflatable entrance arch then angled corner would be your best choice because the top tube is less likely to sag or droop. If esthetics is important to you, then you can consider a curved arch. This type is widely available and is generally used for larger footprints. Air option

Another consideration is the air supply. Believe it or not, not all arches are the same when it comes to air options. You should decide between continuous air arch or sealed air arch. So, what's the difference? The former takes some time to become inflated but once it's done it stays all day without a constant air supply, on the other hand, the later inflate in less than 45 seconds and require for constant air supply in order to stay inflated. Sealed arches are a good choice for evenest where you need to set it up for a number of days while the continuous can be used for events that last a whole day.

D-rings, zippers and other fittings

Traditionally, the arch have one long zipper at the bottom of each vertical tube for easy air release. The zippers should be covered by a velcro flat in order to disguise and protect the zipper. This is the part of the arch where most of the inexpensive option fail first. It is important to choose start finish line arch with zippers that feature marine-grade and UV-resistant chains which are double-stitched into the opening. Also, the flap is often an indicator of the general quality of the product so pay attention to it. Webbed loops and D-rings also should be double-sticked and reinforced. Keep in mind, the important things are in the details.

Blowers

You need to ensure the arch is properly powered so it can keep its shape and don't come down. With proper air supply, the arch will be fully shaped and firm to the touch. If the arch is mushy-feeling it means either the arch is old and is leaking the air form somewhere or you need a more powerful blower. Also, an interesting fact is that leaking can be caused by using a too-powerful supply, so pay attention to it. You need enough air to make the ballon look good but not too much that will make it look over-stuffed. Custom inflatable arch or not, these units are your best way to promote your business, products or services and draw the attention of potential customers with ease. This will make you stand out from other businesses but still be effective in advertising just like you have used some other medium.
