Printed Latex balloons add fun and interest to any balloon decoration.  An enormous range of stock prints are available covering every conceivable celebration and a host of party subjects.  Matching prints are often available in different sizes shapes and colours. Latex balloons can be filled with balloon gas (Helium) or air.  Gas filled balloons are usually anchored with a clipped ribbon.  Air filled balloons are commonly mounted on a "cup & stick". Gas filled latex balloons have a limited life (6 - 16 hours depending on temperature - the cooler it is, the longer they float). They should ideally be inflated just prior to display.  Air filled latex balloons can last for several days. CONTACT US NOW AND GET A QUOTE ON YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
