Custom Printed Balloons for Special Promotions

An amazing promotion for a car dealer is custom printed balloons! Custom printed balloons can draw a crowd from several miles with our Gorilla Sky Buster balloon, and with customers driving by grab their attention by filling your car lot with our Mini Jumbo and 16" custom printed balloons!

Our 36" Mumbo Jumbo balloons and 5' and 7' Gorilla Balloons are great attention grabbers. Flown with our 24' pennant and your custom imprint, many will notice your event with our big cloud buster balloons.

Memorial Day is fast approaching, and with all of the sales that come in the auto industry custom printed balloons are an eye catching tool to draw attention to your business during a special event or sale. Our 16" custom printed balloons and our new 24" Mini Jumbo custom printed balloons can be inflated and tied on to the car for maximum exposure to select vehicles in your lot. Color coding with balloons can make it easy for your customers and sales associates to showcase certain cars and with a custom imprint you can personalize the balloons with your logo and your promotion specifications.

Our 18" foil balloons are great to jazz up your showroom during a special event and can be used for several days. Some clients are able to use these balloons for several weeks! (Float time is specifically related to proper inflation and environmental conditions.) Balloon clusters, columns or arches will draw extra attention to your showroom and envelope customers with the festivity of your sales event.

Custom printed balloons can be used for promotions the whole year around. Our latex balloons are 100% biodegradable and have a limited shelf life so make sure that you have enough personalized balloons for each event and plan to reorder for events later in the year.

Shelf Life for Balloons

You may realize that you are getting a great deal on your custom printed balloons if you buy more! However, more is not always more. Custom printed latex balloons have a limited shelf life and you should consider how many balloons you will use in a couple month span, but then order "fresh" balloons if you have another event later in the year.

All latex balloons should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place. Temperature, moisture and light all combine together to decompose the latex balloons. Since latex balloons are 100% biodegradable, the balloons are breaking down from the moment they are made. We get a new supply of balloons weekly from the latex manufacturer so that you have the freshest balloons possible!

For your dental office or hair salon, you should figure out how many clients you would give a balloon to each week or month. Don't forget to add those promotion weekends when you might be seeing more clients and giving out more balloons! I suggest that a customer could have 2-3 months of a supply on hand and even up to 6 months if you have a desirable storing location. Of course I have had clients that will order a year supply and they feel that their balloons are perfectly fine a year later, but they have had the perfect environment for balloon storage! If you live in a humid climate, your supply of balloons may biodegrade quicker than someone who lives in a more temperate climate.

Here are some tips for storing your balloons:
  • Keep all balloons in the original plastic bag packaging.
  • Keep all balloons away from direct sunlight or artificial light
  • Keep all balloons away from extreme heat such as a register in a business or on top of a computer monitor that would maintain heat each day
  • Keep all balloons away from any moisture such as an entrance to a bathroom or steam room
Did you know that each balloon is inflated during the printing process? We check for holes or rubber rot when we are printing your balloons! Any type of product abnormality is found at our plant to insure that you receive balloons free from holes. Of course balloons may pop during or after inflation. Popping balloons can be diagnosed by calling one of our helpful team members. Always check for a flat and smooth ceiling, static charge in the room, and be careful to not over inflate your balloons. The bottom of a latex balloon should start to resemble a pear, but don't let the end get too pointy! Mylar balloons should not be over inflated either, and should have wrinkles around the side of the balloon. With proper storage and proper inflation your custom printed balloons should be an asset to your business or promotion. Please call if you have more specific questions, and we will be delighted to assist you to determine the appropriate amount of balloons for your needs.


The storage suggestions for latex balloons would include any custom printed latex balloons, any Mumbo Jumbo, Gorilla or cloud buster balloons.


The foil or mylar balloons, should be stored with care, but they do not have a limited shelf life like a latex balloon. The mylars are not biodegradable so they have an unlimited shelf life.

Custom Printed Balloons

Custom printed balloons are an inexpensive promotion that are sometimes overlooked. For less money than a color copy, your business or event can be promoted with an inexpensive custom printed balloon that is sure to be an attention getter.

Adults and children are always attracted to a balloon, and for pennies each your logo can be custom printed on the balloons. We help clients promote their business with a custom printed logo to give out at at a dental office, real estate office, photography studio, restaurant, or any business exhibiting at a local fair. Your company's name and special event will be promoted all over the mall when you hand out custom printed balloons to your littlest clients. Once a child sees a balloon, they will beg their parent to find a balloon for them as well! Every person has a different path they take through the mall and on their way home, so your walking billboard will continue to promote you special event and draw extra traffic to your location.

Custom printed balloons can be used for special recognition in your office. Balloons can be used as incentive in a call center and to give special attention to the top salesperson. The entire office will recognize that person with a balloon tied to their desk or chair.

A trip to the orthodontist can be less uncomfortable when their is a reward of a balloon after an adjustment. Your special patient will be able to take home a foil mylar balloon that will last for weeks, and with your custom printed logo on the balloon your patient will tell her friends that her orthodontist is the best in the city!

We help many car dealers with special sale events by supplying a printed balloon with sale information. Tie the balloons on the cars in the lot, or decorate the showroom with balloons to make a special sale weekend draw a crowd and promote your event. When your client comes to pick up their new car, surprise them with a birthday party for their car! Promote your dealership with a bouquet of mylar or latex balloons with your logo custom printed on the balloons and a big "Thank you" on the other side to show your appreciation to your customer for their patronage.

Balloons make every event special, but any day can be special with a trip to the orthodontist or the mall. Consider custom printed latex balloons with your company logo to promote your business each day or on those extra special days.

Photo Balloons Make a Memory

When planning a milestone event, why not make a memory with photo balloons? Photo balloons are custom printed balloons that incorporate a one color photo image. The screen print process is the same as the old fashioned news print, and Balloons Tomorrow can use a photo on a balloon for a birthday party, anniversary or milestone event.

Since a picture is worth 1,000 words, our most popular photoloon is for birthdays. Many clients will find a photo of a loved one from days gone by or that retro era that can really embarrass someone on their 30th, 40th, 50th birthday. With a snapshot from junior high or highschool, you know the look on their face will be priceless when they see their mugshot on every balloon. We will typeset a phrase that you choose such as "Older Than Dirt!" framing the photo from the yearbook circa 1976. Kids love seeing their photo, and we see many smiling faces for birthday parties for the young'uns too.Celebrating a Golden Anniversary with the wedding photo and the wedding date is also a popular item and celebrates the best day of their lives! Many couples will choose their engagement photo to be put on balloons for the wedding reception or balloon release. A highschool or college graduation is best celebrated with balloons, and a baby photo or graduation photo is a great conversation piece during the event.Running for office? Expose your face and promises to your constituents! Photoballoons are an inexpensive way to get your name out during a parade or county fair, and everyone loves to see whom their candidate looks like. We had a client who wanted to be on Donald Trump's The Apprentice and he certainly impressed the judges with a bouquet of balloons that had his name and photo! How could they forget him?!A memorial can become extra special with a balloon sendoff at a church or cemetary. There is nothing that can lift your spirits more than a balloon floating in the sky. Celebrate your loved one with a special balloon release and incorporate a special photo that everyone will remember for their lifetime.
Anyway you snap it, photoloons are the attentione getter you want for your guest of honor. Track down your favorite photo and come up with a snappy message, and everyone will be talking about the balloons at your event!

Earth Friendly Latex Balloons

Many people do not realize that latex balloons are 100% biodegradable! Latex balloons are made from the sap of rubber trees that are prolific in the Amazon rain forest as well as Malaysia. Sustainable rubber tree plantations are tended daily in collection of the latex as well as the cultivation of new trees. Since latex balloons come from organic 100% biodegradable rubber they are an Earth friendly product that should be encouraged for promotions and functions.

Many people are pleasantly shocked to learn that a balloon will decompose at the rate of an oak leaf. Since many of us live with a "green conscience," we should choose items that help the planet. There is no need to sacrifice fun and enjoyment by using latex balloons that are organic, biodegradable and Earth friendly as well as economical on your budget.

Even before a balloon is inflated, it is being oxidized by the air. The balloon is already decomposing. Balloons have a limited shelf life because they are 100% biodegradable, so when purchasing bulk quantities remember to only plan 6 months in advance. As the balloon is inflated it is again being oxidized as well as stretched, therefore more surface area is exposed. Latex balloons will only float 6-12 hours because they are decomposing as they are floating. If you are planning an event, balloons should only be inflated a few hours prior to your event.

When at a county fair or sporting event, balloons can be handed out to children as incentive or reward with a custom printed logo or message that can advertise for hours. In the unfortunate even that the child releases the balloon, there is a chance that another person would see the balloon with your advertising information. This is great exposure for your company!

After a balloon has been used, it is not harmful to the landfills or environment because the balloons break down at the rate of an oak leaf or piece of compost. Remember, our product is 100% organic, natural sap of the rubber tree so it should decompose alongside grass clippings, leaves, or eggshells! There are many outdoor events where latex balloons are released at the end of a ball game, during a parade or graduation commencement. All of these balloon releases are safe for the environment, so bypass the plastics and instead use an Earth friendly, inexpensive product that promotes your business with a custom imprinted message or logo. A perfect way to advertise your business or event for pennies each while still being kind to our environment.

Custom Printed Wedding Balloons

I wanted my wedding to be unique and memorable, and with all of the bubbles and flower petals that completely liter the church yard, I wanted that a canopy of balloons to send my husband and I off. I chose custom printed wedding balloons with our names and wedding date one side with clip art that I used throughout my printed items (programs, napkins, cups, etc.) and on the other side Jake had written a haiku to celebrate our wedding day. It was perfect for everyone to read while they were holding their balloons and waiting for us to come out of the house. I chose all of the colors that were represented in the plaid tartan that was used throughout my wedding (bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen vests, programs) and it helped with the theme of the day...lots of color!!

My dad and brothers did all of the grunt work by inflating and tying each balloon, and they got the best helper award for all of their work! We had about 250 balloons, one for each guest, and this project kept them busy the morning of our wedding. They made bouquets of about 25 balloons with curling ribbon and tied each bouquet down with a balloon weight. We kept these in the garage until after the wedding and some quick family photos, and then the bridal party passed out a balloon to each guest while we got ready to come out of the house.My mom led the way, and as we were coming down the front walk, everyone was cheering for us and releasing the balloons! The sky was just filled with color, and there is nothing that can make your spirits soar more than a sky was filled with custom printed wedding balloons!! It was so fun, and everyone loved watching their balloons all join in a joyous canopy overhead. We have had so many compliments on how fun it was to release the balloons, and the photos from this unique part of our day are some of the best and favorite memories of our family and friends. No one had to pick anything up, and we were not worried about pollution because latex balloons are 100% biodegradable! When people see our photos from our wedding, they always comment on the balloon release, and I get to relive the moment each time.*There are many other ways that we incorporated custom printed wedding balloons for our wedding event. We used custom printed photo balloons with our engagement photo and attached a balloon to gift bag placed in the hotel rooms for our guests. For guests who were not familiar with the location, we used the 5' gorilla balloons to attract attention to our location and simple balloon clusters attached to PVC pipe were used to designate parking areas in my parents yard.
