Project Time: May 2026
Project Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Project Type: Outdoor brand activation / oversized product replica / retail and event display
Product Category: Custom inflatable product replica, inflatable gas cylinder model, promotional inflatable display
Application: Outdoor equipment launch, camping retail promotion, festival booth, sports event sponsorship, trade show display, pop-up store attraction
For this project, the client needed a bold, instantly recognizable inflatable display based on a PRIMUS-style red gas cylinder. The objective was simple: turn a compact camping gas product into a high-visibility 3.6m promotional landmark that could be used outdoors for brand awareness, product education, and retail traffic generation.
HAFE produced a 3.6-meter inflatable gas cylinder replica with a bright red body, oversized white brand lettering, silver top and bottom rim details, and a stable cylindrical structure. The final display kept the product shape clean and readable from a distance, making it ideal for outdoor retail events, camping expos, distributor campaigns, and social media photo moments.
Unlike rigid oversized props, this inflatable replica provides impressive scale while staying lightweight, fast to install, easy to pack, and practical for repeated promotional use.
The client wanted a promotional inflatable that looked accurate, stable, and professional in an outdoor setting.
| Customer Concern | Project Requirement |
|---|---|
| Product recognition | The gas cylinder needed to look immediately connected to the real camping fuel product |
| Brand visibility | Large white lettering had to be readable from a distance |
| Outdoor stability | The structure required secure anchoring for open-air promotional use |
| Clean cylindrical shape | The inflatable had to hold a smooth, round form without looking distorted |
| Fast setup | The display needed to be installed quickly by an event team |
| Compact logistics | The client wanted a large display without heavy freight or oversized storage |
| Reusability | The inflatable needed to support multiple events and retail activations |
| Photo performance | Colors, proportions, and logo placement had to look strong in campaign photos |
| Safety | The product had to be soft, lightweight, and suitable around public traffic |
HAFE developed a custom 3.6m inflatable gas cylinder replica with a focus on brand accuracy, structural stability, and outdoor promotional performance.
The gas cylinder shape was enlarged into a 3.6m inflatable model while preserving the core visual identity: red cylinder body, silver cap area, silver bottom trim, and bold white brand typography. The simplified geometry makes the inflatable highly visible and easy to understand from across a venue.
Because product replicas must look familiar at a larger scale, HAFE balanced proportion, panel layout, logo height, and surface curvature to keep the branding readable on the round body.
The oversized white lettering was positioned across the central red body for maximum recognition. HAFE can support digital printing, heat transfer, screen printing, or stitched/welded color panels depending on artwork, color requirements, budget, and expected use environment.
For outdoor promotions, high-contrast branding is especially important. The red-and-white combination creates strong visibility against sky, pavement, grass, event tents, and retail storefronts.
The inflatable was designed with a wide base and reinforced lower rim to improve stability. For rooftop tests, outdoor events, and public areas, HAFE can include D-rings, anchor ropes, sandbags, water weights, floor fixing points, and optional internal ballast design.
The top valve-style detail and silver rim help make the display more product-like while maintaining practical inflatable construction.
Compared with a fiberglass or foam replica of the same size, the inflatable gas cylinder is easier to transport, inflate, deflate, pack, and store. This makes it well suited for roadshows, dealer networks, seasonal campaigns, and outdoor sporting events.
The same structure can be adapted for different gas canister brands, outdoor stove products, LPG cylinder campaigns, industrial safety events, fuel retail promotions, or camping equipment launches. Size, color, logo, warning labels, product details, and surface finish can all be customized.

| Structure Type | Best For | Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inflatable Gas Cylinder Replica | Outdoor promotions, camping expos, roadshows, trade shows | Large scale, lightweight, fast setup, reusable, strong brand visibility | Requires inflation and secure anchoring outdoors |
| Fiberglass Product Replica | Permanent showroom or long-term retail display | Hard finish, accurate sculptural detail, durable for fixed placement | Heavy, higher freight cost, difficult to store and tour |
| Foam Product Replica | Indoor events and temporary booth props | Good shape control, lighter than fiberglass | Bulky, easier to damage, less compact after use |
| Metal Frame Fabric Model | Large outdoor display and semi-fixed installation | Strong structural frame, good for repeated assembly | More complex setup, larger storage volume |
| Printed Banner or Flag | Budget advertising and event signage | Low cost, fast production, easy to transport | Flat, limited product realism, lower photo impact |
| LED Screen Advertisement | High-traffic commercial venues | Dynamic content, easy message changes | Requires power, high rental cost, no physical product presence |
The client needed a display that could enlarge the product dramatically while remaining easy for an event team to manage. The inflatable gas cylinder delivered the visibility of a large outdoor landmark without the cost, weight, and storage demands of a hard scenic prop.
