wholesale number and letter balloons require complete character coverage, controlled SKU depth and item-specific performance testing. The gas volume and weight of a narrow 1 differ from a round 8.
“Our top-selling ‘8’ kept going out of stock while boxes of ‘1’ sat untouched. We had ordered every number in equal quantities.”
Review wholesale number and letter balloons: sizes, colours, air versus helium, packaging and recurring retail SKUs. For helium balloons, holding gas does not automatically mean they float: gas lift must exceed total finished weight. Safety evidence depends on product’s real use and configuration; do not use one certification report for all LED, battery and toy variations.
IdeaStage lists logo-printed 18-inch foil balloons at US$0.34 each for quantities of 5,000+, one-color/one-side imprint. 4CustomPromo lists 18-inch printed foil balloons at US$0.53 per item for 5,000+. These represent US promotional supplier offers for specified 18-inch designs, not prices for LED BOBO, number/letter balloons, specialized helium service, or FoilJoy factory quotations. Obtain category-specific local comparisons before setting selling prices.
The MOQ for fully customized printed foil balloons is 5,000 pcs per design. The factory production target is 10 days following final artwork and order approval, excluding specialized tooling, samples, shipping and customs. Stock items and packaging-only customizations are assessed separately. Provide dimensions, printing, materials, accessories, packing, intended use and destination to request a quote.

Treat every numeral or letter as its own SKU. Validate size, silhouette, color, valve, float behavior, packaging, barcode and reorder logic separately, even when products share one visual family.

Equal quantities across all letters create slow stock, while testing only one number can hide shape-specific float problems. Small and narrow designs must not be sold as helium-floating without evidence.

FoilJoy can help structure number, letter and banner ranges around practical packaging and repeat-order requirements.

Send the product reference, artwork, quantity per design, market, packaging and delivery window.
No. Shape, volume and weight differ.
Usually yes when independent inventory and barcode control are required.
No. Banner sets are commonly air-filled kits with different packaging.
Map digits, colours, sizes and pack formats as distinct saleable units.
No; ask for both where shelf fit and display size matter.
Test the actual shapes; slim profiles have different volume-to-weight ratios.
Specify air-fill and display hardware rather than assuming helium use.
Identify size, digit or letter, colour, quantity, fill method and packing.
