WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY
Manufactured in the United States.
Most inflatable companies in the US are resellers. California Blimps manufactures in our own shop in California. That is why we can do these four things.
We use fire retardant to build our cold air inflatables.
Every product, standard, not an upgrade. Most venues, shopping centers, and trade shows require it before an inflatable is allowed on site. Many competitors can't provide it. We always can.
NO UPCHARGEBuilt for longevity: 10+ years.
Heavier vinyl, lamination and coating, and double stitching on every seam. Our inflatables last more than twice as long as what most companies resell. 2 Year Warranty.
2× THE LIFESPANHeavier vinyl, double stitched.
We are the only manufacturer that builds with 12 oz vinyl on the base and 10 oz vinyl for the rest of the piece; the competition uses a lighter 7 oz vinyl. Every seam is double stitched.

BUILT TO LAST
Longevity.
Most of what you'll find online is built from lighter 7 oz vinyl with single-stitched seams. It fades, splits, and is gone in a few seasons. We're the manufacturer: 12 oz vinyl on the base, 10 oz for the rest, double stitched, then laminated and coated. Ten-plus years of service is the standard we build to. 2 Year Warranty.
WHAT WE MAKE
Characters, replicas, tubes, columns. And we fix anyone's.
Every piece is built to order from 8 to 20 feet and quoted individually. Inflatables from 8 to 10 feet are built with an internal blower; anything larger runs on a continuous-duty external blower. We don't build above 20 feet: past that size a piece becomes difficult to secure and handle safely, and we won't put our name on something that isn't user friendly.
Characters & mascots
Ronald, the Cane's dog, a rubber duck the size of a house. Mascots and characters built to your brand's spec, internal lighting optional, 8 to 20 ft.

QUESTIONS
What people ask before they order.
Are your inflatables fire retardant?
Yes. We use fire retardant to build our cold air inflatables, every product, as standard, at no extra charge. Most venues, shopping centers, trade shows, and municipalities require fire retardant certification before an inflatable is allowed on site. Many competitors can't meet it. We always can.
How long do they last?
Ten+ years.
What keeps the graphics from fading?
Every inflatable is laminated and coated after printing to seal against fading and keep graphics sharp for 10+ years. We are the only manufacturer that does this.
Can I use these indoors?
Yes. Showrooms, arenas, trade show floors, warehouses. Fire retardant certification means venues accept them without issue.
What is the warranty?
2 Year Warranty.
What sizes do you make, and how are they inflated?
8 to 20 feet. Pieces from 8 to 10 feet have an internal blower; larger pieces use a continuous-duty external blower that plugs into a standard outlet. We don't build above 20 feet: at that size a piece becomes difficult to secure and handle safely, and we won't sell something that isn't user friendly.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes, to all 50 states and internationally. Call for a shipping quote on your order.
Do you repair inflatables from other companies?
Yes. We repair cold air inflatables from any manufacturer, including companies that no longer exist.
