Northampton NHS needed to give impact to an awareness campaign for colonic cancer. So they approached Imagine for an innovative solution. The creative team set about creating a novel approach and designed a 'walk through' curved tunnel. This was made and artworked to resemble a section of giant colon for NHS staff to demonstrate conditions to visitors with.

Pudsey rises to the challenge!..

ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss GMT

BBC Wales were keen to have a giant inflatable Pudsey bear to highlight their Children In Need campaign again this year. So they were keen to have the large character outside of TV Centre for a prolonged period. Imagines team of operators installed Pudsey on the 8th November and he stayed in place until being dismantled 13 days later! This was a testament to the robust nature of the inflatable and durability of the fan which kept going '24/7'!!..

The giant inflatable soon became a popular local attraction, highlighting the worthy cause + gaining the nickname of 'Pudzilla'!!...

NUT sends inflated pension message!..

To ensure their message stood out during the recent pensions marches in London and Birmingham, various unions turned to Imagine for an imaginative solution. Following on from the giant helium filled scissors used in the Summer protests, the NUT required a large transparent cube containing an inflatable 'G clamp' with a £ being squeezed!.. The impressive unit was adorned with various slogans to send their message over pensions.

The large helium filled inflatable certainly drew a lot of attention from journalists and TV crews alike. Lenses were trained on the NUT 'float' along the duration of the march routes in Birmingham and London.

Pudsey' back for a rest!!..

After a long spell 'on duty' outside the BBC TV Centre in Wales, a giant inflatable Pudsey bear was brought back to Imagines' new base at Lutterworth - for a rest!!..

Having been kept inflated for over 13 days and enduring the rigours of winter weather, he needed a wash & brush up to restore him before being put into storage.

'The Yard' is proving a very useful asset for Imagine and allows for the inflation, checking and cleaning of larger units!..

For devout Madness fans there was only one place to be over the last weekend of November,.. A huge 'Two Tone' event featuring Madness live was held at the Butlins complex in Minehead & was titled 'The House Of Fun'

Attendees of the 'Special' event (!..) were welcomed through a 'House of Fun' archway. The giant red inflatable arch could not be missed and provided an eyecatching focal point.

We have recently produced 3 x 6m long Kleenex tunnels. They had full surface print to the outside and also full surface removable print to the inside of the tunnel.

The "sooth tubes" were installed by Imagine at 3 locations around the UK. They are being used on a roadshow tour around the UK to promote their products. The tunnels will be seen at 150 different locations in the run up to Xmas so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for them!

PVC Chewing Gum & Coffee Jar Product Replicas

ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss GMT

We recently produced two PVC inflatable product replicas for a client to use at an exhibition they were attending in Prague.

The first product was a 5ft long inflatable pack of chewing gum.

The second product was an inflatable jar of coffee that was also 5ft high.

Our client told us that “Everyone was really impressed with how the whole stand looked and the conference organisers said it was the best design they’d seen to date in the 14 years that they’ve been running these events.”

We were really pleased that Imagines products were part of such a great looking stand!
