Thatchers Cider Bespoke Hot Air Balloon & Rugby Inflatables

Bespoke Branded Hot Air Balloons & Rugby Ball Inflatables for Experiential Marketing

Client

Thatchers Cider

Project Overview

Megaflatables brought Thatchers Cider’s iconic branding to life with a colourful collection of bespoke hot air balloon inflatables and branded rugby balls.

Designed around Thatchers’ instantly recognisable colours and logo, the custom inflatables created a bold, eye-catching presence across the event. From the towering hot air balloon centrepiece to smaller balloon replicas and branded rugby balls, each element helped transform the space into a memorable branded experience.

EYE-CATCHING DESIGNS

The Brief

Thatchers Cider wanted to create a highly visible collection of branded inflatable assets that would capture attention and bring its distinctive visual identity into the event environment.

The brief was to create:

  • A large bespoke hot air balloon inflatable to act as a standout centrepiece.
  • Smaller custom hot air balloon replicas featuring Thatchers branding.
  • Branded inflatable rugby balls to complement the activation.
  • Consistent use of Thatchers’ recognisable colours, logos and visual identity across the collection.

The goal was to create an engaging branded presence that could be easily spotted across the event, helping Thatchers stand out while providing memorable visual touchpoints for visitors.

CAPTIVATING LARGE INFLATABLES

Our Role

Megaflatables transformed the Thatchers brand identity into a collection of bold three-dimensional inflatable displays.

Our team developed and manufactured each bespoke inflatable to accurately represent the brand, carefully incorporating Thatchers’ colours, logos and design details across the different formats.

By producing a combination of large-scale and smaller branded assets, we helped create a coordinated inflatable collection capable of delivering strong visual impact throughout the event space.

Bespoke Design & Manufacture

Our in-house design and production teams transformed the concept into a fully bespoke inflatable, manufactured using high-quality materials and finished with detailed printed artwork.

Quality Testing

Before leaving our warehouse, the inflatable was fully inflated, inspected and thoroughly tested to ensure it met our high standards and was ready for a seamless installation at the event.

Event Management

Our experienced event management team delivered, installed and securely inflated the structure on-site, remaining throughout the premiere to monitor the inflatable and ensure it performed flawlessly for the duration of the event. Once the event concluded, our team efficiently deflated, packed away and removed the inflatable, providing Thatchers Cider with a hassle-free, turnkey solution from start to finish.
