How Should I Store Uninflated Latex Balloons?

1. Avoid storing latex balloons in high temperatures (softening and sticking occurs above 35°C) or high humidity (more than 70% humidity causes mold). This will shorten the lifespan of the balloons. They should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably between 15°C and 30°C. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, it is recommended to sell them as soon as possible and avoid long-term storage.

2. Ultraviolet rays accelerate the softening and sticking of latex, and oxygen can cause oxidation. Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged exposure.

3. If you need to store latex balloons for more than two years, it is recommended to use vacuum packaging. Vacuum packaging prevents oxidizing latex balloons, and the small size of the product makes it very suitable for Amazon merchants to sell products in this packaging. Below is an image of the vacuum packaging.

4. Avoid scratching balloons with sharp objects and avoid stacking heavy objects. Excessive pressure can easily cause physical deformation or adhesion of latex balloons, thus affecting the normal sale and use of latex balloons. Therefore, we try not to stack latex balloons more than 3 layers, and the cartons should be thicker so that they are not easily deformed.
