What is the cost to get wording or my logo on a product I purchase from AirDancers.ca?
We custom print all our products from top to bottom using a process called dye sublimation. This adds zero weight by permanently changing the colour of the fabric. All custom printed products can be washed and your artwork will not flake or peel off. We are the manufacturer and as such you pay discounted printing rates. The retail dye sublimation rate is around $7-9 per square foot. Most of our printed products cost only $3-5 per square foot.
What is Dye Sublimation?
Dye Sublimation printing is a printing process based on a chemical reaction. Special dyes are printed by our large digital printers onto paper. These dyes have the property of becoming gaseous at 200C. The paper and fabric are pressed together in a large calendar, or heat press. The image is transferred to the fabric during this heating process. The heat not only transfers the ink but it also imbeds, or sublimates, the ink into the fabric and sets it so it won't run or fade. Dye Sublimation is be done primarily on polyester fabrics and offers a very good bleed through with zero added weight.
How long will my air dancer last?
MATERIAL ONLY - this question does not apply to the inflation fan
-This depends on how often you use it. 1500 hours is the average life span of an Air Dancer. If you use your dancer every day for 8 hours a day it should last about 6 months. Our Air Dancers carry a 6 month warranty on the sewn seams. Some customers are reporting their dancers lasting up to 12 months with less than frequent use (like 2-3 days per week). We do not recommend using your dancer 24 hours a day as the life span will be significantly reduced to less than 2 months. Do not use near trees, poles, signs or other objects. Your Air Dancer is made of strong, but very thin woven polyester. It can get small holes if not used properly. If your Air Dancer gets torn, use Tear Aid hole repair or Gorilla tape and cover the inside and outside of the rip. It is highly recommended that you do not leave your air dancer up during snowstorms, high winds and thunderstorms. It is also highly recommended to bring your air dancer in at night.
What advantages are there to using an Air Dancer?
Typical increases range from 10%-30% in less than 30 days! 10-times the floor traffic at 1/10 the cost of Newspaper, TV or Direct Mail. Inflatable advertising Air Dancers help you leverage your greatest asset - your location!
