Foil balloons not packaged.
The Meaning Of the term "Flat"
"Flat" is a balloon industry term which means the balloon does not come packaged individually. This normally applies to Mylar/foil or similar balloons, but not latex balloons. We store them "flat" at the warehouse in a stack with other balloons of the same design. When you order flat mylfar/foil balloons we stack them together and place them in a bag to protect them.
Benefits of Flat Balloons
- Cost Effective. Unpackaged balloons are cheaper than packaged ones. Since we purchase them in bulk they cost less for us, and we pass those savings onto you.
- Increase Your Profit Margins. If you are a balloon decorator and will be inflating the balloon yourself (not displaying them in a retail shop) then you do not require the extra packaging and extra costs associated with it.
- cost Effective For Your Customers. If you are a balloon retailer and wish to have more competitive pricing, selling your Mylar/Foil balloons unpackaged would be a good way to go.
- Efficient Use Of Space. Packaged balloons require a display rack which can take up space. The flat/unpackaged balloons can be stored behind the counter stacked together. Just be sure to not overly crease or fold your flat Mylar/Foil balloons, as this may ruin the printed design. You may even want to hang one of each popular design on a wall for customers to see and choose, and have the rest of the flat/unpackaged balloons behind the counter.
