If you're looking for balloons for your occasion or party, it is helpful to know the various kinds of balloons available on the market. You will purchase the exact items you require for your event or promotional goals. Balloons are among the most effective giveaways for marketing that you can buy. They're eye-catching, loved by both adults and children alike, and come with an enormous imprint area that allows your message or logo is visible even from great distances.
The three primary balloons used for party events include latex, mylar balloons, and cloudbuster balloons.
3 Main Types of Balloons
Latex Balloons
The most popular balloon is that of the balloons made from latex. The balloons expand to form an oval shape. They are made from recyclable latex and are easily customized using screening printing your company's logo, text, or artwork. They're typically available in sizes that range between 9 inches and 18 inches. The most popular and well-known dimension is 11" personalized latex balloons, then the nine" ones.
In general, latex balloons use the Helium well, usually lasting between 10 and 14 hours of floating time. Still, a variety of aspects, including how custom latex balloons are sprayed and how much Helium is used, are major factors in determining the float time. If cost is a factor for you, you should remember that the less balloon, the lesser Helium you'll require.
They are also adaptable in they can be utilized with or without Helium. The use of the balloon with accessories is prevalent since you don't have to buy or lease tanks for Helium, which could help you save money. It is possible to fill balloons made of latex with normal air utilising an air pump, an air pump for your feet, or a hand inflator. It is then easy to attach the balloons to balloon cups to make sticks and stick them to the sixteen" or 24" cello stick. Check out the following images to understand what latex balloons that are tied to balloon cups and sticks might look like.
Mylar (or Foil) Balloons
Mylar balloons cost more than latex balloons. However, there are many convincing reasons for this. They're better quality balloons with a metallic appearance and feel, and they also have large imprint areas and much longer float times. Nothing draws more attention from a sweet, sparkling, bright, and shiny floating balloon made of mylar.
Difference Between Latex Balloons & Mylar Balloons
Mylar balloons, often called foil balloons, cannot be used with balloon cups or sticks. This picture illustrates how to proceed when attempting mylar balloons in conjunction with balloon cups and sticks. Contrary to the latex balloons that are flexible and stretchy, foil balloons cannot stick well to balloon cups. The result is what you see in the photo that is partially flopping over the balloon. Mylar balloons customized to your specifications are at their most beautiful when filled with the gas helium and tied using string.
Be careful when buying mylar balloons. Cheap mylar balloons and low-quality aren't always the best value since these balloons have extremely low float times and could be prone to defects and pin-holes that allow air from the balloon to leak out.
If you are looking for mylar balloons, make sure you find balloons that have self-sealing valves (an extremely convenient feature). Anagram foil balloons can be built using an elite composite material that gives the balloons between 5 and seven days of float time. Furthermore, you will be able to save tons of Helium as mylar balloons use 25 percent less Helium for each balloon. This means you can fill up 30 percent more balloons in helium tanks, which will save the user around 22% in the cost of Helium.
Mylar balloons are customized in four shapes: round, heart, or star, and they also come in the square. The three first shapes have 18" balloons, and our square foil balloons are 22". They're all available in almost every color that you can think of and so choosing the perfect colour balloon to match your promotional or event theme will never be an issue.
Cloudbuster Balloons
Finally, we offer cloudbuster balloons. These are commonly called chloroprene balloons, and they are constructed of high-quality latex that wards off the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays and can be up to 10 times stronger than standard balloons made of latex. Based on the size of the cloudbuster balloons you purchase, float time can be as long as three weeks!
In general, this is a brief overview of the float times for our cloudbuster balloons.
4 feet - 4 to 5 days approximately.
5.5 feet. It can last from 7 days to nine days.
8 feet 8 feet approx.
Cloudbuster Balloons inflate to the size of a perfect sphere, and they are so durable that they're used solely outside. Unfortunately, they cannot be customized, but a high-flying colorful chloroprene balloon can be a great way to mark your event or business place of work, even at a distance! You can purchase our vibrant display pennants to accompany the balloons to make your setup more attractive. Cloudbuster balloons can also be purchased as kits on our site that include balloons and 100 feet of display pennants and easy-to-follow instructions.
