Pioneer Balloon Installs W&H’s 8-color PRIMAFLEX CL

According to Pioneer Balloon’s Executive Vice President Betty Vlamis, the company requires a press with extended repeats to accommodate the production of its trademark Qualatex Microfoil balloons. The PRIMAFLEX will be printing on metalized nylon film that is then converted into various balloon shapes and sizes. “The simple round silver foil balloon of yesterday has evolved,” explains Vlamis. “Although the film is the same [a vapor coating of aluminum onto biaxially-oriented nylon], the balloons that are made from it now come in different shapes.”
