How many colours can I print?
Latex balloons can be printed in up to 8 spot colours - 1 side.  Foil balloons up to 6 spot colours - 1 or 2 sides.

Complexed artwork
Complexed full colour artwork consisting of photos or tonal areas (where colours merge into each other) can be achieved by applying a pre-printed self-adhesive medium to both sides of an 18” or 36” foil balloon. Please call 020 8274 8274 for a quotation.

Quality & recycling

• Balloons printed to the highest standards using tried and tested digital/silk-screen printing methods to produce sharp images of your artworks on 1 or 2 sides of the balloons.
• We use the best quality latex balloons - bio-degrade in about 6 months.
• Our foil balloons (more durable than the latex) are also made from best quality Mylar (Nylon 6) which is recyclable at most council recycling points.
