Frequently asked Questions

"I need 5 clusters, logos on all, top is a larger size..."

"Can I get a logo on my balloons within a few days?"

Answer ~ NO...sorry. Logo imprints require 5-7 working days for QX Express or 10-12 working days for Impress II. We can only do straight line type...no time for a logo. Plus ADD next day air shipping which I would estimate at least $150.00. There is no Rush Charge, because we are using QX Express.

9-inch: float 9-12 hours indoors. Use for a Funeral Release, Morning Meeting, Children's Birthday Party (or any 2-hour event)
11-inch: float 18-24 hours indoors. Use for special events like a Prom, Homecoming, Graduation, Convention, Trade Show, Mitzvah, Sweet Sixteen, Quinceanera, Wedding, Reunion, etc.
16-inch: float 30+ hours indoors.
Three times the size of an 11-inch.
36-inch: float 3+ days indoors.

Here I am comparing a 16-inch to an 11-inch balloon (larger than my head!)   Jewels are transparent.
