Create your own vinyl letters for balloons
The lettering maker above lets you build the exact wording you need, with a preview before you order.
Enter your wording
Keep the text short and lightweight in appearance, such as a name or age for a celebration balloon.
Choose your style
Choose clear, fairly simple letters that will be easy to position on a curved or inflated surface.
Size it for your surface
Measure the visible balloon face and allow room for the curve. Check material compatibility first, as foil and latex behave differently.
Plan your design before you order
Balloon surfaces stretch and flex. Confirm adhesion and safe fitting on your specific balloons before purchasing; these are lettering ideas rather than a guarantee of suitability.

vinyl letters for balloons FAQs
Will this stick to a latex balloon?
Not necessarily. Latex stretches and its surface can be difficult for some vinyl adhesives. Test the specific balloon and vinyl combination first.
Is a foil balloon different?
Yes. Foil and latex surfaces behave differently, so confirm material suitability and application guidance for each.
Can I order very large wording for a round balloon?
Keep the curvature in mind and measure the usable visible area; large connected lettering may wrinkle or lift.
Can I choose the size?
Yes. Set the required width or height in millimetres in the lettering maker and review the proportions in the preview.
Does the background colour get printed?
No. The background option only simulates the surface behind your lettering.
