Where To Buy High Quality Balloons


Where To Buy High Quality Balloons

You may be asking yourself Where To Buy High Quality Balloons. Maybe you just started a balloon business or maybe you are just looking for some other alternatives to your usual balloon distributer.

This article will talk about several places where you can get high quality balloons. Some of these distributors ship worldwide and some are only local. Some of these places I have personal experience with and I’m going to share some of my thoughts with you, other sites I have never personally used but I will share what I found.

Many of these balloon distributors offer wholesale pricing for business, you may need an EIN (in the US, or whatever the equivalent is in your country). I tried to list which brands each distributor sells and I will continue to update this post as things change. If you need more information about which balloon brands are used most in the balloon industry, check out my post Top Balloon Brands here.

What Is Wholesale Vs Retail

Wholesale is when a business buys goods in bulk, such as balloons and balloon accessories, and resells them at retail prices to customers. Retail is when a company sells directly to the customer. A wholesaler will be cheaper than buying it from a retail shop.

Another difference between wholesale and retail is generally if you want to have access to wholesale prices your business will have to be registered with your local country and follow your local country’s laws regarding your business. For example, if you are located in the US you will need to register for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) in order to get wholesale prices.

Balloon Printing

Fast Balloons

Fast Balloons offers custom printed balloons. I have never used Fast Balloons and would offer a word of caution when using them because, from the minimal discussion I had with them, they didn’t seem very knowledgeable or truthful.

Balloon brands they sell: their website doesn’t say anything about the brand of latex balloons they use. So I contacted them and they say they use Qualatex balloons but they also say they only offer 10″, 12″, and 17″ latex balloons. I have never heard of Qualatex making 10″, 12″, or 17″ sized balloons.

When I asked for clarification they back peddled and stated “our balloons are helium quality, made from 100% latex and are completely biodegradable.”
