Learn how to create custom balloon colors to match fabric, theme or venue colors and look like a pro.

Qualatex, the leading balloon manufacturer, has over 65 colors and attempts to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to balloon color-trends, but even they can miss the mark when it comes to your personal tastes. Even if the exact color you desire was made in the past, it may be of no use to you since latex balloons have a shelf life of about six months and then they begin to decay.

There is a solution far less expensive to create custom balloon colors. It involves a secret of the trade not widely practiced. Balloon layering or “Double-Stuffing” is the process of combining two balloon colors together, one inside the other to create custom balloon colors. You can try mixing and matching one balloon inside of another then inflating the “double-balloon” to see if it’s a color match. But, this trial and error method is very time-consuming.
