Custom Balloon Pins

Custom Balloon Pin Questions

What are custom balloon pins?

Custom balloon pins are trading pins made for balloon teams, festivals, tours, and collectors. Most orders are soft enamel or hard enamel. Photo screen is the better process when the artwork is a photo or a full-color fade.

Who orders custom balloon pins?

Balloon owners, chase crews, tour companies, festival organizers, and corporate sponsors. Riders also buy them as a souvenir after a flight.

What size works for balloon trading?

Most custom balloon pins land between 1.25" and 1.75". 1.25" is a solid trading size. Go larger when the envelope art needs more room.

How many custom balloon pins should a team order?

For team trading, plan enough for each crew member to trade with the other balloons at the event, plus extras. Festival and sponsor pins can run higher. Leftovers still trade. Balloon pins stay collectible after the event.

Soft enamel or hard enamel for balloon pins?

Soft enamel leaves raised metal lines you can feel. Hard enamel is polished smooth. Both are common for custom balloon pins. Photo screen or heavy photo screen is the call for photos and gradients.
