What our Clients are saying...
Inflatable Images is an essential vendor for any large-scale event, particularly for unique items like a 8-foot realistic orange that rotates, and I appreciate Caylie’s proactive support in coordinating with her suppliers to ensure our client’s tradeshow was a success; I look forward to collaborating with her again. Thank you soo much for your enormous support Caylie.
Inflatable Images did an excellent job wrapping my artwork and ten other artists' work onto various traffic boxes throughout Lakewood, Ohio. The vibrant designs wrap wonderfully around those tricky boxes - nice job, Michael and the rest of the Inflatable crew!
Thank you Inflatable Images for our great school tunnel. Working with them was super easy and they understood our needs right away. Callie and Shelby were extra helpful.
