Description
Design and Material
This hot air balloon stress reliever is crafted from polyurethane foam, a soft and resilient material that returns to its original shape after squeezing. Its compact dimensions of 2.5" x 3.25" make it easy to keep on a desk or slip into a bag, providing a convenient outlet for tension throughout the workday.
Customization
Your logo or message can be applied using pad printing, a method that transfers a thin layer of ink onto the curved surface of the balloon. This technique ensures crisp edges and fine detail, making it suitable for intricate artwork. The imprint area measures 1.25" x 0.75", offering a compact space for your branding.
Safety Note
This product is not intended for use by children or pets. It may present a choking hazard to children under 3 years of age.

Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your imprint is placed on the side of the hot air balloon body. Pad printing applies a thin, flat ink layer that conforms to the curved surface, holding fine lines and small text with crisp edges. For detailed artwork, pad printing is the recommended method.

Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, flexing into curves, angles, and recessed areas flat application can't follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges — each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid, holding evenly on contoured or darker surfaces; cured ink resists everyday wear.
