It stretches to three times its width before anybody sees it.
Get Custom Balloons manufactures printed balloons to order — natural latex, long-lasting foil, clear bubble and confetti, giant advertising sizes, air-filled garland kits, and the printed weights and matched ribbon that finish them.
Nearly every disappointing balloon order comes from the same place: artwork was approved flat and judged inflated. Latex expands to roughly three times its uninflated width, and a design that filled the flat balloon ends up thin, pale and stretched across the shoulders.
So we proof at inflated scale. You see the mark at the diameter you actually ordered, on the colour you actually chose, before anything reaches a screen. It is a small change in process that removes the most common complaint in the trade.
The second thing we do differently is talk about how long the balloon has to last, because that single answer decides the material. A day is latex. A week is foil. A fortnight is an air-filled garland, and no amount of helium will get you there.
Why we exist
Balloons are bought on colour and price, and both are easy. What is not easy is thickness of latex, ink coverage at full inflation, and honest float times — and those are exactly the things a cheap quote is hiding.
We state the latex weight, we size artwork against the inflated diameter, and we give float times that assume a real room rather than a laboratory. We will also tell you when the thing you want is not a balloon problem at all.
What we actually make
Screen-printed natural latex in 9, 11 and 12 inch, one to four print positions. Digitally printed foil in rounds, hearts and bespoke die-cut shapes that hold helium for weeks. Clear bubble balloons and properly prepared confetti balloons for the photographs. Giant three to eight foot balloons in latex and reusable PVC. Air-filled garland and arch kits in matched palettes, pre-counted by size. And the accessories — printed weights, colour-matched satin and curling ribbon, valves, cup-and-stick sets and Hi-Float treatment.
Everything is colour-matched across the order, so balloons, ribbon and weights read as one set rather than three separate purchases.
How we price
No dollar figures anywhere on this site. Balloon pricing moves with material, size, number of print positions, ink colours and quantity, and an invented number would mislead everybody. Send the details and a real quote comes back the same day, with a lowest-price guarantee if you are already holding a cheaper one.
One thing we will not do
We do not supply balloons for release events, and we will say so plainly if that is what an order is for. Released balloons come down somewhere, and the fact that latex eventually breaks down does not make the intervening weeks harmless to anything that eats it.
