Safety should be your top priority when selecting an inflatable manufacturer. Industry leaders like Bounce Horizon use premium 18 oz vinyl, significantly exceeding the industry standard of 15 oz. Here’s what you need to verify:

• Material Certification: Request ASTM and CPSC safety certificates
• Fire-Retardant Rating: Ensure materials meet NFPA 701 standards
• Lead Content Certification: Verify compliance with CPSIA requirements
• Stitching Quality: Look for double-stitched seams with heavy-duty thread

“The quality of materials directly impacts both safety and longevity. Premium materials might cost more initially but save thousands in replacement costs.” – Industry Safety Expert

Experience matters significantly in the inflatable manufacturing industry. Look for manufacturers with:

• Minimum 5-10 years of manufacturing experience
• Portfolio of successful commercial projects
• Verifiable client testimonials
• Industry association memberships
