Latex Balloons
The most popular types of latex balloons include "pastel", "metal", "pearl" and "crystal":
- "pastel" balloons come in made of matte material and come with the broadest palette of colors;
- "metal” and "pearl" distinguish themselves by an attractive, metalized, shiny surface;
- Balloons "crystal" are transparent and have the brightest balls that are saturated in color.
Pastel balloons are believed to be the most durable. The reality is that metalized and crystal balloons last less time in comparison to "pastel" balloons, and their life span is one-third shorter. On the other hand, they appear more attractive. is severely affected by high temperatures - in hot weather, the transparent balloon's "crystal" slowly becomes cloudy "metal" and becomes less shiny, whereas "pastel" maintains its original appearance the best.
Latex balloons are available in variety of sizes - manufacturers put them in inches 5' (12 cm), 9' (22 cm), 12' (30 cm), 14' (35 cm), 16' (40 cm), 18' (45 cm) and 34”' https://balloons.online/balloon-sizes/34-inch-balloons/.
The smaller balloons of 5" as well as the smaller 9" balloons are usually used to make garlands, as well as for decorations (for instance, they're used to fill boxes with surprises). These small balloons cannot be filled with helium, because it has a short lifespan, and the balloon can quickly deflate and deflate.
The standard size 12" or fourteen" balloons are the most commonly used - these are balls with no pattern or pattern and balls that have confetti. The color palette is the widest, the balloons are inflated using air or helium (for decorations) and can also be used to make garlands.
Larger diameter balloons of 16" or 18" are incredibly powerful in lifting that allows you to add paper garlands, tassels, and stickers as decorations. Examples that sixteen-foot (40 cm) balloons are Golden Glitter confetti balloons, and 18' (45 cm) balloons are huge balloons without a pattern.
Three-foot (70-80 millimeters) the meter balloons can be the most massive (example). Despite the name, the meter balloons are usually inflated to 70-80 centimeters because otherwise they won't fit inside the doorway and are more vulnerable to external influences and mechanical damages (the higher the inflation of the balloon, the thinner the wall). Such balloons can be both transparent and opaque using various types of confetti. They can be decorated with inscriptions, and garlands, as well as they, can be made into large figures from balloons with the gas helium. Examples include the cat, a dog, and a unicorn. elephant, or a giraffe.
Agate Balloons
Agate balloons are balloons with amazing patterns that look like gemstone patterns. They are created using transparent colorless 12" latex balloons that are made by a special technique with acrylic paint. The pattern is never repeated and always unique. You needn't be concerned, even if a balloon will burst, the paint will not smudge everything around, since we provide balloons to dry completely before delivery. Therefore, only our workshop is at risk while balloons are drying =) This is why the balloons must be purchased at least a day before delivery or self-delivery.
They are perfect for photoshoots, unique gifts, or decorating fancy parties. However, due to the manufacturing process that they use, the flight time for Agate balloons is less than three days on average. And if it's important for you that the balloons can fly for a longer duration, you ought to look into different alternatives.
Confetti Balloons
Confetti balloons are a kind that are transparent balloons made of latex ("crystal") which have sprinkles of confetti that are added by hand. Confetti may be metallic or paper, and in various sizes and shapes or the same color, or with different shades. Confetti of various colors, shapes, and sizes can be mixed in one balloon. These balloons are stunning and perfect for photo sessions, memorable gifts, or for decorating party decorations, they are guaranteed to bring a lot of positive emotions!
Balloons with confetti typically fly smaller than regular balloons as the confetti is a source of extra weight to the balloon and lowers the lifting capacity. As with the other crystals with transparent surfaces, the process of latex oxidation is evident most clearly on the confetti balls. Over time, they become smaller in size, more transparent, and lose their luster (you will learn more about this here). In normal conditions (at normal indoor temperatures) the process isn't too slow, but in summer, under the pressure of high temperatures as well as exposure to the sun the process accelerates dramatically, so when it is hot and sunny when the balls are to be used outdoors, be prepared for the fact that they will lose their transparency, and you may wish to opt instead of opaque balloons in case you don't want to risk it.
There are two ways to create these balloons. The float method (so the confetti are evenly distributed on its walls within the balloon in addition, the balloon itself can fly for longer than without treatment) and without hi-float (then the confetti are placed in the middle of the balloon and can move freely within the balloon however the flight time of such balloons is limited to about 12 hours).
Foil Balloons
Foil balloons typically last longer than latex balloons. They don't require treatment with HiFloat because their material does not allow helium molecules to quickly leave the balloon. Foil balloons will slowly deflate without losing their appealing look, and if used carefully, they can be re-inflated by using air (yourself using a tube) or helium! They are also excellent for personalizing your message with stickers, as on their smooth surface the sticker adheres evenly and stays on it longer.
Balloons that have been foiled with no design can take shapes like a star, heart or circle, crescent, 3D sphere, crystal, hand branch, cube, etc. They look amazing in sets combined with confetti and latex balloons!
There are many shaped foil balloons with different designs in addition to "walking balloons" which are filled with helium, however, they do not soar in the air due to small invisible weights - they start "walking" in their daily lives from any air movement.
