Metallic latex balloons actually refer to latex balloons with metallic luster materials (such as water-based aluminum silver paste) on the outer layer. This material gives the balloon a metallic luster and texture in appearance, and the surface is glittering, giving people a sense of high-end and luxury, and it looks more atmospheric and upscale.
Because the outer layer contains metallic luster materials, this type of balloon will appear very shiny under light, with bright colors and rich and varied patterns, and can be customized in various shapes and patterns according to needs. And because the material is relatively tough and not easy to leak, the floating time of metal latex balloons is relatively long, generally about a week, or even longer.
The production process of metal latex balloons is relatively complicated. It is necessary to add metallic luster materials on the basis of latex balloons, and fix and process them through special processes. In addition, metal latex balloons usually have an automatically closed balloon mouth design to prevent leakage.
Common sizes of metal latex balloons are 5 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches, 18 inches, 36 inches, etc. 5-inch metal latex balloons usually come in packs of 100; 10-inch, 12-inch, and 18-inch balloons usually come in packs of 50; 36-inch balloons come in packs of 10, and are available in a variety of colors, including gold, silver, blue, purple, pink, green, red, rose gold, champagne gold, and mixed colors.
If it is a smaller space, such as a desktop decoration, 5-inch or 10-inch balloons may be more suitable; while for larger venues, such as weddings and event venues, 12-inch, 18-inch, or even 36-inch balloons can create a stronger visual effect. Smaller balloons are relatively easy to inflate, while larger balloons may require more effort and more professional tools.
How to identify the quality of metal balloons, now let me share some tips with you. Check whether the surface of the balloon is smooth and flat, the color is uniform, there are no bubbles, the tail blowing part is neatly cut, and the inflation port is free of defects; after inflation, check whether the balloon will leak air and whether the color changes; high-quality metal latex balloons are bright and uniform in color, have a metallic luster, and the color is long-lasting and not easy to fade; gently stretch the balloon to feel its elasticity. High-quality balloons have good elasticity, can quickly return to their original shape, and are not easy to break during stretching.
Metal latex balloons should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature and high humidity. Avoid placing balloons near heating, air conditioning outlets and other places with large temperature changes. Because high temperature and humidity may cause balloons to deform, fade or even damage. Try to minimize the folding of the balloon to avoid damage to the balloon surface. Pay attention to moderation when inflating, and do not over-inflate to avoid balloon rupture. At the same time, use appropriate inflation tools, such as air pumps, to ensure uniform inflation.
