Project Specification Considerations
Confirm these market-specific inputs before quotation.
Confirm whether the inflatable supports a high-end brand centerpiece, design-week installation, trade-show booth, or temporary retail display.
Prepare precise 3D shape references, artwork files, required visual finish, footprint, setup method, and packed dimensions before quotation.
For historical city plaza installations, review anchoring restrictions, surface protection, and local venue access limits before production.
Delivery Planning
Lead-time profile for Italy.
Air freight: For China-to-Italy planning, air freight is commonly estimated at about 6–12 business days airport-to-airport, often planned through Milan-Malpensa or Rome-Fiumicino depending on the destination, with longer door-to-door timing possible after pickup, handling, customs, and final delivery. Treat this as an industry planning range, not a delivery commitment. Sea freight: For China-to-Italy planning, sea freight is commonly estimated at about 30–45 days port-to-port, with routing commonly considered through Genoa, La Spezia, or Trieste depending on the destination, with longer door-to-door timing possible after origin handling, customs, inland transport, and final delivery. Treat this as an industry planning range, not a delivery commitment. Peak season: Italian design, fashion, and trade-fair activity commonly creates spring and autumn planning peaks, while tourism and city events add demand from late spring through summer. Confirm the target event calendar and allow additional margin during busy periods; this is a general market reference, not a fixed seasonal guarantee.

Power specification
Italy uses a nominal 230V, 50Hz supply. Type L and Type F (Schuko) are both in use, and newer installations may use sockets compatible with both. Confirm the actual site supply, blower nameplate, plug compatibility, cable route, power access, and venue requirements; this is a general planning reference, not a project-specific promise.
