foil balloon artwork guide separates visible artwork from cut contour, seal line, bleed, valve and packaging folds. A JPG mock-up alone leaves critical production decisions undefined.
“The artwork was beautiful on the screen. After inflation, the logo bent into the seal and the character’s face looked completely different.”
A custom foil balloon is one of those products that punishes flat thinking. The customer sees an illustration; production sees bleed, cut contour, seal width, valve path, registration tolerance and a three-dimensional surface that changes as pressure fills the chamber.
FoilJoy’s advantage is not simply accepting an AI or PDF file and sending it to print. We turn artwork into an inflatable construction: protect important graphics, separate print and cut information, consider the valve and sealing area, and review how the design will actually look after inflation. The best dieline is the one the buyer never has to think about again after approval.
Provide editable vector artwork with named print, cut, seal, bleed and valve layers. Keep logos, faces and small text away from tolerances, then approve both flat and inflated appearance.
Low-resolution screenshots, sharp protrusions, tiny edge text and narrow chambers lead to preventable revisions. Artwork changes after plates or samples can alter cost and schedule.
FoilJoy converts creative files into manufacturable layers while protecting important visual elements and product function.
