The Toronto Raptors run to an NBA championship captured the imagination of the country as they became the first team outside of the U.S. to win basketball’s biggest prize.

It was a shining moment for sports in our country, and we were thrilled when asked to work on a project here at TMP that helped celebrate the Raptors world championship.

Our team created a 10ft metallic pvc sphere – complete with the instantly recognizable Raptors’ claw logo, measuring in at 6ft on either side of the golden ball.

Our in-house printed vinyl was applied in the production facility of our headquarters in Stratford, Ontario by our marketing team for a Raptors event in the Fall of 2019.

The shiny, metallic look was a perfect compliment for the champion Raptors and a head turner and photo-op at the Raptors event.https://www.youtube.com/embed/UpT7VU2LXjg

We have worked on similar projects for clients over the years, of different size and scope and with different specifications from our business partners. We have created spheres that hang from the ceiling or are elevated with bases, with varying types of materials for indoors or outdoors. We thank MLSE for affording us the opportunity to work on this exciting project that by all accounts was a big hit.ABOUT METALLIC (MIRROR) SPHERESMade to your required size, these smooth mirror spheres create a "wow" element for any event or party space. The sheer size and impact of these spheres are guaranteed to get your guests talking. As we ship these units un-inflated, the shipping part of the cost is minimal. We do recommend to buy our pump to inflate them.  Inflatable ball Seams: All inflatable mirror balls have seams to create the sphere. The seams are noticeable up close but will give the effect of a smooth finish at a distance. There are NO options to have a seamless product.

TallMan.Promo is proud to offer our inflatable mirror balls, this is a high-quality inflatable product sure to wow at any event. Most of our orders range in size from 24” up to 96”  but we can produce up to 25’ custom if required.

We are all about teamwork at TallMan.Promo, so we were delighted to partner with the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) to help promote teams in the league’s inaugural season in 2019.

With six teams across Canada, the CEBL aims to promote the second fastest growing sport in the World, while offering a chance for Canadian talent to pursue a pro career.

Shattered Glass
Hundreds of people gathered to celebrate Candice and Alison where they launched their first signature product - “Shattered Glass”.   It is a dry brut-style sparkling wine perfect for an occasion. Destined to create a statement, the eye-catching bottle is dressed with an ombre fringe that swings effortlessly as the wine is poured. The provocative name Shattered Glass is inspired by the precise moment the first glass drops and shatters behind the doors of an exclusive event.

Using hundreds of custom printed mylar balloons and vinyl floor and wall decals throughout the event, they kept the party branded and on-point.

A big thanks to Candice and Alison for this great impactful project and the wonderful opportunity to work for you. Congratulations!

The Toronto Pride Parade is a massive event bringing people from all across the province to celebrate pride. This year Tallman.Promo was happy to collaborate with Salesforce marketing cloud to create 3D inflatable costumes for their pride float. Salesforce was looking to add more impact and excitement to their float. These custom inflatable costumes were worn by team members at Salesforce and placed on the float to dance around and wave at the crowd.

Starting Point
For this project we took an existing set of 2D characters that were considered mascots for various salesforce campaigns and initiatives and turned them not only into 3D mockups but real life mascots. These can be frequently seen at professional sports matches and big events. Here are some of the examples working from 2D mockup to 3D design. Below you'll see the source files supplied by Salesforce in Vector File format.

From 2D to 3D

Our 3D designers use these to create the 3D files that will be used to create the inflatable costumes. We also use these for the approval stage in the project. The results will look like this:

Making the Inflatable Costume

Once the 3D mockups are complete we can begin the production phase and actually begin to create the costume piece. For Salesforce marketing cloud we were creating 4 individual units all with different artwork and specific pantone colours. Taking the 3D model we will print individual pieces with the colour directly on the fabric and then sew these pieces together to create the end result. The inflatable were delivered to the Salesforce office in Toronto and tested on the spot.

These 3D costumes work much like the traditional continuous air inflatables however they run on battery power and allow an individual to stand inside the unit moving around and engaging with an audience.

Inflatable Costume Instructions

To work your inflatable costume you should follow these steps;

1. Locate the zipper at the back or bottom of your inflatable unit.
2. Locate the backpack like structure inside the unit.
3. Place the battery packs in the given spots on the backpack unit.
4. Step inside the unit, putting your legs in the leg spots or bottom of the unit.
5. Put on the back pack, clip on all and adjust al straps to fit accordingly.
6. Turn the unit on by connecting the wires to the battery.
7. Zip up the zipper which you came in through (this may require assistance.)
8. Let the inflatable costume inflate, and enjoy.

Below are the end results, 4 custom made inflatable costumes produced by Tallman.promo and used in the Toronto Pride Parade. For your next event when  you are looking to create a unique piece and have an impact on a crowd consider a custom costume from Tallman.promo.

Thanks to Salesforce for the order and the sheer pleasure to work for you. For more information on our inflatable advertising options, feel free to check our site or contact one of our representatives.
