FAQ

What equipment do I need to start balloon decorating?
At minimum: an inflator (ideally a dual-port electric one), a hand pump as a backup, a balloon sizer, scissors, adhesives such as glue dots and tape, garland line, zip ties, and a good supply of latex balloons in assorted sizes. The checklist covers all of it.

Why use a dual-port inflator?
A dual-port inflator fills two balloons at once, which cuts bulk inflation time roughly in half.

Why do professionals use a balloon sizer?
A sizer keeps every balloon the same diameter, which is what makes garlands look full and uniform.

Which balloon brands do professionals use?
Qualatex, Tuftex and Sempertex are well-known professional-grade brands, and all three are carried by wholesalers like Rainbow Balloons.

Can I check off items right in the PDF?
Yes. The checkboxes are fillable in Adobe Acrobat and Preview. Some browser viewers can’t save checkmarks, so open the file in a PDF app.

Where should I buy balloon supplies?
The guide links to Rainbow Balloons, a wholesale supplier we’ve worked with for a long time. Any wholesaler can get you great supplies, and our Master Wholesalers List on DIY Balloon Studio can help you compare.

Yes. Enter your email and the PDF downloads instantly.
