How to show your love on Mother's Day:



It's already the end of February, which means that Mother's Day isn't too far off. In the balloon industry, Mother's Day is one of the biggest "balloon holidays" of the year. The planning for this holiday comes very early so even though we are a couple months away, we are placing orders and shipping product.

This year, Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 13th. Balloons are an excellent way to show your love on this holiday. They are a great, unexpected surprise that will last for weeks! Check out some of our new 2012 designs. I guarantee you'll love them!

We'd love to hear what you think!! Post your comments below. 

Have you ever wondered how foil balloons are made? Well here's a quick explanation...

The NASA Space Mission is accredited for developing the concept and technology for the metalization of plastic sheeting that we use to make foil balloons. Cool right?

These foil balloons are made of polyesters or nylon that has a polyethylene coating on one side and is metalized on the other. Once converted, the foil material is heat sealed, which creates a bag-like product with a valve at the bottom or a BALLOON.

Over simplified but you get the gist.

Something to note...

These balloons are commonly referred to as MYLAR balloons. However, mylar is a trademarked name for a type of polyester film that is registered by DuPont. In fact, balloons are not even made out of this mylar material because of the difficulty in heat sealing it together.

Think of Kleenex. Kleenex is a brand, not a facial tissue. So, when referring to metallized balloons, they're really called FOIL balloons and when needing to blow your nose, you need a TISSUE.

Halloween & Party Expo Recap

It's hard to believe that the Halloween & Party Expo has already come and gone. After many months of planning and organizing, we arrived in Houston for the biggest show for the Halloween and party industries.

This year, we decided to bring along our newest styles and designs for everyone to see. We received a great amount of support for our new lines, especially our Ultraloon Jumbo Numbers. We offer them in silver, pink with sparkles, blue with sparkles, and multi-colored sparkles.

Here's our 2012 displayed above our booth...

We also worked hard to show the new latex designs that we have available.

We had soaring bouquets with balloons flying high and a wall of licenses, birthday and special occasion balloons.



It was a fantastic few days of presenting our newest balloons and hearing everyone's feedback.

Thanks to each and every one of our visitors at the show. It was great to meet and visit with some of our customers! What a great start to this year!
