Inflatable column
An inflatable column marks your presence from a distance at an outdoor event: a race, a market, a trade fair, an open day, the finish line of a sporting event. Its vertical shape is spotted above the crowd and it goes up without tools. The design is printed on fabric, in our workshop in the Gers.

Which material for your inflatable column?
The inflatable column is printed on a standard 210 gsm fabric with an M1 rating, a flexible material that tensions once the column is inflated and holds solid colours without visible creasing. The fabric folds down for transport and returns to shape when inflated, which is why one column can follow a whole season of events. One point to keep in mind at the design stage: the surface is cylindrical. A logo on one face only reads from one side, while a repeated pattern stays recognisable from any angle. Other outdoor materials are gathered in our outdoor advertising section.
Dimensions and structure
The structure is a 45 cm column, 220 cm high. That proportion puts it above a standing crowd while remaining easy to carry in a car boot. It frames an entrance, flanks a podium, marks a finish corridor or shows where a stand is on a large site. Two columns either side of a walkway create a gateway effect without heavy rigging. The options are listed in our inflatable column category.
Base and accessories
The plate base adds stability on hard ground, terraces, car parks or paving, where nothing can be driven into the surface. Without a base the column stays lighter to carry and is secured to whatever anchor point is available. An electric blower can be ordered with the column, or left out if you already have one. On a full set-up, the column usually sits alongside branded gazebos and parasols in the same colours, all within our custom outdoor advertising range.
Preparing your artwork
Vector artwork is preferable, since it scales without loss. Otherwise supply a CMYK image at scale, at a resolution equivalent to 300 DPI at reduced size, with 2 mm bleed and a 4 mm safety margin. Outline your fonts. Bear in mind that the lower part of the column is sometimes hidden by the crowd.
2M Numérique alongside you
2M Numérique is a printing house based in Manciet, in the Gers, and claims 100 % Made In Occitanie production, which is what our responsible approach stands for. Tell us about your event and we will help fit the design to the shape of the support.
Made here
94 % of our orders were produced in-house in 2024-2025, and 100 % in France. Our workshop is in Manciet, in the Gers, near Nogaro — recent machinery, local workshops. Less transport, faster turnaround.
Committed suppliers
We source our materials from regional partners who share our standards. Our main textile supplier is a French manufacturer whose site in Hagetmau, in the neighbouring Landes, supplies us through a short circuit — EcoVadis Platinum 2024, organic cotton and recycled textile ranges certified GOTS and GRS. Our paper comes from sustainably managed forests.
Less waste
PVC offcuts, paper and substrates are sorted and recovered; our adhesive films are available in recycled PVC. Nesting and imposition of files cut offcuts down: we print the right quantity. And low-impact inks, for prints that last.
A person, not a form
A close-knit team, from the first idea to the finished product. Every project, large or small, gets the same care. A question about your file? +33 5 33 13 02 01.
