In May 2026, HAFE successfully supplied 30 custom-printed inflatable buoys to one of Spain's leading freestyle cliff diving event organizers.
The customer was preparing for a high-profile international cliff diving competition and required professional-grade marker buoys capable of withstanding demanding outdoor conditions while maximizing sponsor logo visibility.
After evaluating the project requirements, our team recommended upgrading from the standard 0.6mm PVC material to our heavy-duty 0.7mm reinforced PVC tarpaulin construction to ensure superior durability and long-term performance.
The order was completed and delivered on schedule, and the customer expressed high satisfaction with the product quality, printing performance, and overall service.
The customer's primary concerns included:
- Maximum visibility for sponsor and event branding
- Strong and durable construction for repeated outdoor use
- Resistance to wind, waves, UV exposure, and harsh weather conditions
- Fast production and reliable delivery schedule
- Professional appearance suitable for international sporting events

Although reinforced PVC buoys may have a higher initial cost, their longer service life often results in a lower total ownership cost over multiple event seasons.
All 30 custom inflatable buoys were delivered on time and successfully deployed during the event.
The customer particularly appreciated:
- Clear and highly visible logo printing
- Heavy-duty construction
- Professional appearance on the water
- Reliable performance throughout the competition
