Are all balloons

created equal?

Latex Balloons: A Splash of Color and Eco-Friendly Appeal

Latex balloons have become a staple in celebrations due to their vibrant colors, varied shapes, and eco-friendly nature. Made from natural latex, these balloons are biodegradable, making them an environmentally conscious choice for balloon decorations. Whether you're planning a birthday party or a grand event, latex balloons offer versatility in shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns to suit any theme.

One notable feature of latex balloons is their biodegradability. Unlike some other materials, latex breaks down naturally over time, minimizing environmental impact. This eco-friendly quality adds a touch of sustainability to your celebrations.

Yes. there are different qualities of latex balloons as well.  There are very cheaply made latex balloons and then there are professional quality latex balloons.  At Balloon Art by Merry Makers we only use the highest Quality balloons for all of our customers.


Foil Balloons: A Shimmering Elegance with Considerations

Foil balloons, often referred to as Mylar balloons (Mylar being a popular brand), bring a different kind of elegance to events. These balloons are crafted from metallic-coated polyester and are known for their shiny, reflective surfaces. However, it's essential to note the variety in quality and characteristics among foil balloons.

There are inexpensive foil balloons produced by manufacturers outside the country that may lack the attention to quality, floatability, and helium-filling capabilities. Consumers should be aware of these factors when choosing foil balloons for their events. Quality matters, especially when you want your balloons to stay afloat and maintain their decorative appeal.

When comparing latex and foil balloons, consider your preferences and the specific requirements of your event. Latex offers eco-friendly options with a wide array of choices, while foil brings a touch of elegance. 


A combination of both often times brings us to the perfect mashup of capturing why you are ordering balloons.  Let us design something for you today!
