Custom inflatable costumes of a wheat ear, pig and mascot
In 2019 and 2020, Digital Inflatables showed a series of custom inflatable costumes: a green and golden wheat ear with a smiling face, a pig in an astronaut suit and a yellow and pink mascot with a brown mane. The workshop describes them as fully sublimation printed, silent, lightweight and comfortable to wear.
Which inflatable costumes did Digital Inflatables show?
Very different characters: a wheat ear, a pig astronaut and a mascot in an apron, each shown in its own post.
The wheat ear is green and golden, with a smiling face, a red band and leaf-shaped hands; its textured head almost touches the ceiling.
The pig has a pink snout and pink ears and wears a white astronaut suit with red trim; the yellow and pink mascot has a brown mane, a pink bow, a white apron and a pink skirt.
The pieces are unrelated: the series shows how varied an inflatable costume can be.
How is an inflatable costume made?
The shape is drawn in 3D software, split into fabric panels that are sublimation printed and sewn; a small fan keeps it inflated.
According to the workshop, full sublimation printing keeps details sharp even at very close range, and a 3D confirmation comes before production.
The guide to inflatable fabrics and printing explains sublimation and its limits.

Request a quoteWhy choose an inflatable costume for a walking act?
An inflatable costume is light, cool and quiet, which makes it easier to wear during a performance, and it folds into a bag.
It suits walking acts, trade fairs, parades and product launches. The custom inflatable mascot costume page gathers more examples.
