Latex Balloons
The most popular types of latex balloons include "pastel", "metal", "mother of pearl" and "crystal":
- "pastel" balloons come in smooth and feature the widest palette of colors;
- "metal" and "mother-of-pearl" is distinguished with an attractive, metalized, shiny surface;
- Balloons "crystal" are translucent and come with the most vibrant balls with saturated colors.
Pastel balloons are regarded as the most durable - the truth is that metalized and crystal balloons stretch less in comparison to "pastel" balloons and their lifespan is about a third less. On the other hand, their appearance is seriously affected by high temperature when it is hot. clear balloons "crystal" slowly become cloudy "metal" get less shiny, whereas "pastel" remains in its original appearance the best.
Latex balloons come in variety of sizes - manufacturers have them measured in inches: 5' (12 cm), 9' (22 cm), 12' (30 cm), 14” balloons https://balloons.online/balloon-sizes/14-inch-balloons/ , 16' (40 cm), 18' (45 cm) and 3' (70-80 cm).
The smaller 5" and the smaller 9" balloons are used primarily to create garlands, and also for decoration (for example, they fill boxes of surprises). The smaller balloons can't be filled with helium as helium has a very short lifespan, and the balloon will rapidly deflate and then deflate.
The typical size balloons of 12" as well as 14" balloons are the ones most often used. These are balls without a pattern, balls with a pattern,n, and balls with confetti. The color palette is most extensive, and the balloons are inflated using air or helium (for decorative purposes) and are also used to create garlands.
Larger diameter balloons 16" and 18" have great lifting power, which allows the use of paper garlands, tassels, and other decorations. An example of 16' (40 cm) balloons is Golden Glitter confetti balloons, 18' (45 cm) balloons are big balloons that have no pattern.
Three-foot (70-80 cm) the meter balloons can be among the largest (example). Despite the name, meters are generally inflated to 70-80 centimeters, because otherwise, they might not fit inside the doorway and they are more susceptible to external influences and mechanical harm (the more inflated the balloon is, the smaller walls). The balloons can be transparent and opaque with various types of confetti. They could be embellished with inscriptions, garlands, and even on their own are large-scale figures made from balloons using helium, for example, cats, dogs, or a unicorn, as well as a giraffe.
Agate Balloons
Agate balloons come with amazing patterns that look like designs of semi-precious stones. They are created from transparent, colorless 12" latex balloons using an exclusive technique using acrylic paint. The design is not repeated and remains unique. You needn't be concerned, even if a balloon will burst, the paint won't stain anything around, since we provide balloons to dry completely before delivery. Therefore, only our workshops are at risk while balloons are drying =) That's why these balloons should be ordered at least a day before the date of delivery/self-delivery.
They are ideal for photoshoots, unique gifts, or for decorating fancy parties. Due to the advanced technology used in their manufacture and the speed of flight, the flying time is shorter for Agate balloons is less than about 1-3 days. If it is essential to you that the balloons can fly for a prolonged time, it is best to look into different alternatives.
Confetti Balloons
Confetti balloons can be described as a form of transparent, latex balloons ("crystal") with the addition of confetti by hand. The confetti can be either metallic or paper and in different sizes and shapes and the same color or a variety of shades. Confetti in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors can be incorporated into one balloon. These balloons look stunning and perfect for photoshoots, unforgettable presents, or decorating party decorations, they are guaranteed to bring a lot of positive feelings!
Balloons with confetti typically fly smaller than regular balloons, as the confetti is a source of extra weight onto the balloon and decreases the lifting capacity. In addition, as with all transparent crystals that undergo latex oxide is particularly evident in the confetti balls: over time, they become smaller in size, more transparent, and lose their shine (you can read more about this here). Under normal conditions (at the normal temperature indoors) the process takes a while, but in the summer months, with the effects of high temperatures, and the exposure to sunlight it accelerates considerably, and so when it is hot and sunny If the balls are to be used outdoors, you should be prepared that they will become transparent, and you may want to opt for opaque balloons if aren't willing to risk it.
There are two ways of making such balloons. the HiFloat technique (so the confetti is equally distributed across a wall of the balloon, while the balloon itself flies longer than without treatment) and without hi-float (then the confetti is placed at the base of the balloon and can move freely inside the balloon, but the flight of such balloons is only for 12 hours).
Foil Balloons
Foil balloons generally last longer than latex balloons. They do not require HiFloat treatment since their materials do not permit the helium molecules to leave the balloon. Foil balloons gradually deflate without losing their attractive appearance, and if used carefully they can be filled using air (yourself with a tube) or helium! Also, foil balloons are ideal for personalizing inscriptions with stickers, as on their smooth surface, the sticker adheres evenly and lasts longer.
Balloons that have been foiled with no pattern could be in forms like star, heart, circle, crescent, 3D spheres, crystals, hand branches, cube, or any other shape. They look stunning when paired with latex balloons and confetti balloons!
There are many balloons made of foil with different designs along with "walking balloons" which are filled with helium however, they don't rise into the air thanks to tiny weights invisible to the eye - they begin "walking" in their daily lives with just the slightest movement in the air.
