Different types of balloons that you can buy


 Latex Balloons

 The principal types of latex balloons include "pastel", "metallic", "mother of pearl" and "crystal":

  • "pastel" balloons come in matte and offer the most diverse palette of colors; 
  • "metallic balloons" and "pearl" are distinguished by a shiny, metallized surface;  
  • Balloons "crystal" are translucent and feature the most brilliant balls of saturated colors.

 Pastel balloons are thought to be the most durable . The fact is that metallized as well as crystal balloons have less stretch than "pastel" balloons, and their life span is one third shorter. On the other hand how balloons appear can be seriously affected by high temperature - in hot weather, translucent balloons "crystal" gradually turn cloudy metallic and less shiny, whereas "pastel" maintains its original appearance .

 Latex balloons are available in a range of sizes. Manufacturers use inches to measure them: 5' (12 cm), 9' (22 cm), 12' (30 cm), 14' (35 cm), 16' (40 cm), 18' (45 cm) and 3' (70-80 cm).

 The smaller balloons of 5" to nine" balloons are mostly used to create garlands, as well as as decorations (for instance, they're used to fill the boxes of surprise). These balloons are not filled with helium, because it has a short time-to-live, and the balloon will rapidly inflate and deflate.

 The standard dimension twelve" as well as 14" balloons are the most commonly used - these are balls that do not have a pattern, balls with a pattern and balls that have confetti. The color palette is most extensive, and the balloons are inflated using both helium and air (for decoration) and could also be used to make garlands.

 Larger diameter balloons with diameters 16" or 18" are incredibly powerful in lifting and allow you to incorporate paper garlands, tassels, and even stickers to decorate them. Examples for sixteen-foot (40 cm) balloons are Golden Glitter confetti balloons, 18' (45 cm) balloons are big balloons that have no pattern.

 Three-foot (70-80 cm) meter balloons are among the largest (example). Despite their name, meter balloons are typically inflated to 70-80 centimeters due to the fact that otherwise, they might not fit in the doorway, and also more vulnerable to a variety of external influences as well as mechanical damage (the greater the inflation of the balloon is, the smaller the wall). These balloons are transparent and opaque using various kinds of confetti. They could be embellished with garlands, inscriptions as well as on their basis are made large figures from balloons with Helium. For instance: A cat, a dog or a unicorn, as well as a giraffe.

 Agate Balloons

 Agate balloons are balloons with amazing patterns that look like designs of semi-precious stones. They are created from transparent, colorless twelve" latex balloons by using an advanced technique with acrylic paint. The design is not repeated, and it is always distinctive. Don't worry, even if the balloon does burst, paint will not stain anything around because we allow balloons to dry completely before delivery. Only our workshops are in danger when balloons are drying.) That's why these balloons should be ordered at least one day in advance of delivery/self shipping.

 They're perfect for photo shoots, unique gifts or to decorate fancy parties. Due to the manufacturing process of balloons, the time to fly Agate balloons is only 3 to 4 days on average. And if it's important for you that the balloons can fly for a prolonged duration, you ought to be looking at different options.

 Confetti Balloons

 Confetti balloons are a kind that are transparent balloons made of latex ("crystal") that have sprinkles of confetti that are added by hand. The confetti can be either metallic or paper, in various shapes and sizes and in the same color , or with different shades. Confetti in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors can be incorporated into one balloon. Such balloons are spectacular and ideal for photo sessions, memorable gifts , or for decorating celebrations, and are sure to create lots of happy feelings!

 Balloons with confetti tend to fly a little smaller than normal balloons due to the fact that the confetti adds mass to the balloon and lowers its capacity to lift. As with any crystal ball that is transparent, the process of latex oxide is particularly evident in the confetti balls: over time, the balls become more opaque, cloudy, and lose their luster (you can read more about this here). Under normal conditions (at normal indoor temperatures) the process is not very slow, however, in summer, under the pressure of high temperatures , and the exposure of sunlight, it speeds up significantly, which is why during the summer heat when the balls are meant to be utilized outdoors, be prepared for the fact that they may quickly lose their transparency, and you might want to go for opaque balloons if do not want to take the risk.

 There are two ways of making such balloons: with The HiFloat method (so the confetti are equally distributed across the walls of the balloon, and the balloon itself can fly for longer than without treatment) or without HiFloat treatment (then the confetti will be placed near the base of the balloon and are able to move freely within the balloon However, the flight of these balloons is only for twelve hours).

 Foil Balloons

 Foil balloons generally last longer than latex balloons, and don't require HiFloat treatment as their materials don't allow the molecules of helium to escape the balloon. Foil balloons gradually deflate but they do not lose their appealing appearance and, if handled with care, they can be filled by air (yourself with tubes) or helium! Also, foil balloons are perfect for personalizing messages using stickers because with their smooth surface, the sticker is evenly adhered and stays on it longer.

 Balloons that have been foiled with no design can take the form of heart, star circle, crescent, circle, 3D spheres, crystals, the palm tree, the cube, etc. They look stunning when paired with latex balloons and confetti balloons!

 There are also many shape-specific foil balloons that come with various designs, as well as "walking balloons" which are filled with helium however, they don't rise in the air because of tiny invisible weights. They start "walking" and living their lives with the slightest air movement.
