ABOUT CUSTOM PRINTED BALLOONS

The Party People can print any logo, image or photo on balloons with over 70 colours options!

Balloons attract attention whether on the ceiling at a party or in someones hand walking down the street. This makes them perfect for being noticed!  When you custom print a logo or a special message on balloons, you create a positive reaction, creating powerful effects, promotions and marketing opportunities. Custom printed balloons are often used to;

  • Mark an event location
  • Promote new products and services
  • Increase traffic at grand openings and sales events.
  • Create custom displays at trade shows and exhibitions
  • Celebrate special events and special accomplishments (e.g. Graduations, Weddings, Birthday etc).
 

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN ORDERING PRINTED BALLOONS

 

Balloon Size

Custom printing is available on 5inch, 11inch, 16inch and 36inch latex balloons.
  • 5inch (13cm) balloons are small balloons slightly larger than your fist. These balloons are tough to inflate by mouth so require a pump or inflator to avoid injury. 5” balloons will not float will helium.
  • 11inch (28cm) balloons are the most commonly purchased printed balloon size. They float with helium for around 8-12 hours and are decently sized for all logos.
  • 16 inch (41cm) balloons are larger than the common 11inch balloon and so they really stand out and create a unique effect.
  • 36 inch (90cm) balloons are giant and create a grand effect. The balloons appear more "round" than the smaller sized balloons which are generally a tear drop shape.

  • Pearl balloons have a shiny appearance and are translucent
  • Jewel balloons are transparent
