260 Long Balloons 100 Pack Black Twisting Animal Balloons Thickening Latex Modeling Long Magic Balloons for Animal Model Halloween Weddings Birthdays Festival Party Decorations (black)

Its been many years since I did balloons professionally mostly because the best balloon manufacturer shut down and great quality balloons that could be used for making animals and things were no longer available.Recently searching for good balloons for my daughter that was trying to make balloon shapes with I ordered this pack.The balloon reminded me of the quality of the balloons I bought by the case when performing. First time I've seen C rated balloons before and are the quality of the E pencil balloons I bought in the 70s and 80s.I will recommend These pencil balloons to anyone wanting to do balloon sculptures. But definitely get a balloon pump, these things are strong and I used to blow up four pencil balloons at a time when I was performing and couldn't get even one inflated by mouth.

Silky smooth to twist, they are only mildly harder to mouth inflate than QualatexI'm a paid balloon twisting entertainer for kids parties. Pops can happen no matter what name brand you use, but some are certainly betrer than others. That's why my creations come with a 50/50 warranty! (50 feet or 50 seconds...whichever happens first!)I Just got this order of (3) 100 ea. "Pastel red" (looks like a ROSE PINK to me) colored chinese branded 260 balloons. They are on sale at $3.50 per 100 in this color only. Other single and multi color are $6.00 for reg colors and $8.00 for metallic colors per 100 or some I saw were 150 in a bag. I'll call this a test order from Amazon. 3 bags of 100. Each arrived with balloons all straight, 50% nozzle up 50% down AND each 100 is vac sealed. WOW! B brand charges WAY more for nozzle up and vac seal.isnt even offered! 2 pkgs were dated as manufactured 6/2024 (1 year oldat this point,) and one is 5/2025 ( 1 month old.) Awesome. I Just tried some of my more demanding single balloon twist critters and not a single slow deflate or pop while twisting. They feel Silky smooth to twist, they are only mildly harder to mouth inflate than Qualatex, but not nearly as hard as Betalatex. For a reference, I can mouth inflate (2) Q brand 260's simultaneously. Most folks I know can't even do one. (When performing I use a hand pump.)I will be stocking up on several bags of each color they offer in the very near future. These are by far the best value I have seen available in a long time! No weird smells, and I was able to twist all my standard creations without any extra adjustments.

Love this brand so much! They are sturdy and a little bit thinner than the traditional 260 which is kind of nice give them a try Pic of shiny silver!

Tied the ends of each and used them as a rubber band to put balloons together for an arch. Worked out great and held well. I don’t have a picture of the clear 260 balloons but including a picture of the arch that it held together for over 15 hours.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:They work but feels like they pop a little too easy. Maybe our noobie technique. But a little cheap quality feeling. So far for the price it’s alright for practice with kids.

Good durable balloons

These balloons are not very stretchy, they pop extremely easily even just while trying to twist into an animal. The white ones in particular are really bad, I have only been able to successfully inflate and tie one without it splitting open. We stretch them before inflating and rub them before twisting to warm up the latex a little, I even tried lightly squeezing them that seems to help a little. These balloons definitely cannot be over worked so I wouldn’t recommend them for a beginner to practice with

I am an ER tech in an emergency room and I decided to try making balloon animals for the kid patients that came in to try making their visit a little bit more cheerful. These balloons are very high-quality. They do not pop easily at all. I do not recommend blowing them up with your mouse because her cheeks will explode I use a small hand pump maybe that’s cheating I don’t care. they are extremely durable. They work great the colors are vibrant and they smell like sweet sweet latex.
