Latex Balloons
The principal types of latex balloons include "pastel", "metal", "pearl" and "crystal":
"pastel" balloons are smooth and feature the largest color palette;
"metal" and "mother-of-pearl" are distinguished by a shiny, metalized surface;
Balloons "crystal" are translucent and feature the most brilliant balls of saturated colors.
Pastel balloons are considered the most durable The fact is that metalize, as well as crystal balloons, have less stretch in comparison to "pastel" balloons, and their lifespan is a third less. However, how balloons appear is significantly affected by high temperatures - in hot weather, a clear balloon's "crystal" gradually becomes cloudy "metal" become less shiny, whereas "pastel" keeps its original appearance.
Latex balloons are available in variety 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 24 inchs bslloons https://balloons.online/balloon-sizes/24-inch-balloons/.
The smaller 5", as well as 9" balloons, are usually used for making garlands, and also for decoration (for instance, they're used to fill boxes with surprises). The smaller balloons can't be filled with helium, because the helium gas has a short time to live, and the balloon will soon deflate and then deflate.
The standard sizes of twelve" or fourteen" balloons are often used. These are balls without patterns and balls that have a pattern and balls with confetti. The palette of colors is the widest, the balloons can be inflated with both helium and air (for decorative purposes) and could also be used to make garlands.
Larger diameter balloons with diameters of 16" or 18" are incredibly powerful in lifting and allow you to use garlands, tassels, and other decorations. Examples of 16' (40 centimeters) balloons are Golden Glitter confetti balloons, and 18' (45 cm) balloons are large balloons with no pattern.
3' (70-80 cm) meter balloons are among the largest (example). Despite the name, meter balloons are usually inflated to 70-80 centimeters because otherwise, they will not be able to fit into the doorway and are more vulnerable to external influences and mechanical damage (the larger the balloon is, the smaller its wall). These balloons are transparent and opaque, with various kinds of confetti, they are decorated using inscriptions, garlands and even upon their foundations are created large figures from balloons with Helium, such as a dog, a cat, or a unicorn, as well as a Giraffe.
Agate Balloons
Agate balloons come with incredible patterns that are similar to those of semiprecious stones. They are created using transparent, colorless 12-" latex balloons using a unique technique that uses acrylic paint. The design is not repeated and is always unique. Don't worry, even if the balloon does burst, the paint will not smudge everything around because we allow balloons the chance to completely dry before delivery. Only our workshops are at risk as balloons dry =) This is why the balloons must be ordered at least a day before the date of delivery/self-dispatch.
They're perfect for photoshoots, unique gifts, or decorating fancy parties. Due to the manufacturing process of balloons, the time to fly is shorter for Agate balloons is just about 1-3 days. And if it's important to you that the balloons can fly for a prolonged time, you should probably be looking at other alternatives.
Confetti Balloons
Confetti balloons are a type of transparent latex balloon ("crystal") that have confetti added by hand. The confetti can be either metallic or paper and in different shapes and sizes as well as in the same color or different shades. Confetti of different colors, shapes, and sizes can be combined into one balloon. These balloons are stunning and are perfect for photoshoots, unforgettable presents, or decorating parties, they are guaranteed to bring a lot of happiness!
Balloons that have confetti tend to be a bit smaller than regular balloons because the confetti can add pounds to the balloon and lowers its capacity to lift. In addition, as with the other crystals with transparent surfaces, there is a process of latex oxidation is evident most clearly on the confetti balls. With time, they become more opaque, cloudy, and lose their shine (you can learn more about this here). Under normal conditions (at the normal temperature indoors) the process takes a while, but during summer, when it is under the influence of high temperatures, and the exposure to sunlight it accelerates considerably, and so during the summer heat If the balls are supposed to be utilized outdoors, be prepared that they could lose their transparency, and you may wish to opt for opaque balloons if you aren't willing to take the risk.
There are two methods to create these balloons: The HiFloat method (so the confetti is evenly distributed inside the balloon, while the balloon itself can fly longer than without treatment) and with no float (then the confetti is placed at the base of the balloon and can move freely inside the balloon, but the flight of these balloons is limited to one hour).
Foil Balloons
Foil balloons typically last longer than latex balloons and don't require HiFloat treatment as their materials don't allow helium molecules to quickly leave the balloon. Foil balloons will slowly deflate but they do not lose their appealing appearance and, if handled with care, they can be reinflated by air (yourself using a tube) or Helium! Also, foil balloons are ideal for personalizing inscriptions using stickers because with their smooth surface, the sticker is evenly adhered to and is able to stay on longer.
Foiled balloons without a pattern may be in form of a star, heart circles, crescent, circle 3D spheres, crystals, Palm branch, cube, etc. They look amazing in sets combined with latex balloons and confetti balloons!
There are many different shaped foil balloons with different designs along with "walking balloons" that are filled with helium, however, they don't rise in the air because of small invisible weights - they begin "walking" in their daily lives from any air movement.
