Self-inflating balloon vs Latex balloon

• The chart below compares the two most commonly used balloons for advertising to help you decide which balloon is right for you.
• Ace Balloon only manufactures the self-inflating balloon.

	Self Inflating Balloon	Latex Balloon
Size	19cm (7.5"), 15cm (6") before inflation	5", 10", 12", 24" (after inflation)
Printing Technology	Digital Printing Full color double-side printing No plate making fee	Screen printing Includes plate making fee
Printing Range	Full layout, full color, including any complex background	Within a fixed range
Original Background	White Custom printed any background color	Choose from provided background
Inflating Method	Press the water bag inside the balloon, shake it, and watch the balloon self-inflate in moments! Food-grade baking soda and citric acid reaction to produce carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide is safe, non-toxic, odorless. Cannot be filled with helium Balloon cannot fly like a helium balloon because it is filled with carbon dioxide.	Inflate with electric air compressor Must manually knot immediately once inflated Can be filled with helium at increased cost
Assembly Method	Patented clipper – simple buckle Before inflating, be sure to clamp first.	After inflating, pinch the mouthpiece and manually knot. Or with a balloon stick, wrap the mouthpiece around the tray.
Inflatable Days	It can be maintained for more than 30 days in room temperature. (including airtight aluminum foil layer) (In most cases) Do not place under the sun at high temperatures for an extended period of time as this will speed up the degassing rate of any balloon.	High-quality pure latex balloons can last for about 7-14 days at room temperature. Generally low-cost non-pure latex balloons may only be 2-5 days. If it is filled with helium, the floating time in the air can last for about 8-30 hours. If the balloon is under the sun too long, it will break.
Reusability	Can only be inflated once and cannot be reused.	Repeated filling of air after degassing
Durability	Contains foil inside layer by a special sealing process. Under average stress, it can withstand pressure of about 50 kg. (In most cases)	Balloon can easily be broken by inadvertently touching sharp corners or squeezing, depending on the thickness of the balloon ordered.
Storage Method	When uninflated, the balloon can be stored for more than 3 years. The balloon should be stored away from sunlight to avoid fading or damage from ultraviolet rays.	When sealed from moisture and away from sunlight, balloon can be stored for 2-3 years. Prolonged exposure to air will oxidize. Seal properly to avoid exposure to moisture.
Content	Low-concentration food grade citric acid (weak acid) and baking soda powder (weak base) are common elements in daily life, and changes in salt and water are produced after acid-base neutralization and dilution. Although rare, if you accidentally puncture the balloon and contact the liquid in the ball, you only need to rinse it with plenty of water, it is safe, non-corrosive, and non-toxic.	No content inside the balloon. If helium is used, it is safe and non-flammable, but excessive inhalation should be avoided.
Origin	High-quality made in Taiwan Worldwide delivery	Mostly made in Mexico
