Thats a question asked by both amateur and professional dealers for over ten years of experience in balloon wholesale business must encounter. I prefer work with manufacturer, cheaper. This is the topic that I will be discussing today on the basis of my vast experience in balloon industry.
Balloon Manufacturing Basics
The manufacturing process for balloons is quite simple in that it depends on a basic technology. It does take a good bit of factory space to house those machines and the equipment needed to use them. It also is not good at producing balloons; the output of Machinery Balloon has low precision,...... It was a large and multitool- like structure that takes up tons of space. The equipment consists of latex mixing and stirring, dipping machine, drying box and dust removal system. Obviously the network is built and these machines are tens of meters in size.
The first step was to make the molds necessary for producing of practical balloons. The molds are of different weights and sizes according to the balloon size. While the cost of an individual balloon is small, making a series of moulds is costly. Because molds are expensive, tons of balloons have to be ordered in order for the cost of molds applied across each balloon.
Investment and production Lines
The installation of one production line is highly capital intensive, which means it can only be afforded by global or megaproduction type manufacturers. Although, there are some major manufacturers who could have multiple lines in a factory this large is less common. This means that even manufacturers with their own production lines typically build only a few specifications. For the other types of balloons, they will have to buy them from different manufacturers which effectively makes them traders in their own right too.
Moreover, Other Factors And Sorting Options
In addition to the balloons themselves, packaging is a concern as well. Most balloon bags and outer boxes need to be produced by a professional manufacturer. This customization will need to be done in a print factory where customer ask for make his logo printed on the balloon.
The Balloon Manufacturers & The Traders
And in the balloon industry, there are no pure manufacturers. On the demand side: Balloon traders and brand owners. They are well versed with the nuances of this space and can provide end-to- end solutions. This is why it would not be wise to limit your options by targeting just manufacturers.
Finding the Right Partner
What matters is, to bring a company that functions or circles in the industry as deeply as possible. Since these problems may vary and one can do much better than the other depending on where they from (both geographically & then of course also based upon how structurally well defined their problem-solving ability) What the business you choose should have is patience and a readiness to be meticulous in its work, so make sure they are able for service procurement. This is the perfect list that applies in being a partner for this business of surviving with balloon.
In short, instead of merely a manufacturer try to find the right company where you can find someone well knowledgeable about products and delivers solutions. This will enable a successful and healthy long-term partnership in the balloon industry.
