They are also a visual treat for your fans. Everybody loves lining up to take pictures in or next to an inflatable mascot tunnel.

What to Look For in Your Sports Tunnel Manufacturer
Design Capabilities
A custom inflatable sports tunnel designed from the ground up is a considerable undertaking. Not all manufacturers will be up to the task.
Ensure that your manufacturer can handle every step of the design and manufacturing process, so you end up with a product you're in love with.
This involves looking through their online presence, portfolio, and customer reviews to ensure that they can handle the complexity of your project.
Reputation and Reliability
Some companies will promise delivery within specific time limits only to leave you stranded once they have your deposit. You end up getting your inflatable sports tunnel much later than promised, sometimes in the middle of or even after the season.
Thankfully, that's not something you’d need to worry about with MVP Visuals. But don’t take it from us. Here’s what a happy client had to say:
“This is our second time ordering with MVP Visuals. The products, customer service and timeliness are excellent.”

At MVP Visuals, we’ve been providing stunning advertisement collateral, including custom inflatables since 2006.
Over the years, we’ve developed a tight-knight team of service, design, and product experts to offer you a 5-star experience every time you work with us.
Straightforward, Affordable Pricing
When you contact a business team, they should be able to break down precisely how they price their products.
Avoid manufacturers with “setup” fees and other seemingly inexplicable costs.
At the very least, they should include customization as standard. The manufacturer should not charge you extra based on the amount of artwork you want on your inflatable sports tunnel.
Reliable Customer Support
When you partner with a manufacturer on a large-scale project, such as a custom inflatable, you should be able to get ahold of a real person whenever you contact them during their operating hours.
Open and easy communication is critical to ensuring that they have your vision in mind. It also shows that they are committed to hearing and bringing your vision to life.
At MVP Visuals, we appreciate this fact. That is why when you partner with us, you get a dedicated service rep to help you through designing all the way to delivery.
That's our 360-service promise.
“Our experience with MVP was exceptional, from design to the final delivery! Would highly recommend.”
