One machine, two materials
Adjust the parameters and swap the film roll. You do not need a second line to serve markets with different regulations: PVC for volume and price, TPU for Europe and the United States.

What it is
A production machine, not a party inflator
A BOBO balloon making machine is a high frequency (HF) welder that turns clear PVC or TPU film into finished bubble balloons. The roll goes in, the seams are welded, the mold die-cuts the shape, and the finished balloon comes out ready for quality control and packing.
It does not inflate balloons: it makes them. That is why it is built for factories, distributors and private labels that need steady volume and airtight seams, not for someone decorating a single party.
The seam is where the business is won or lost: an airtight weld means fewer air leaks, fewer returns and fewer customer complaints.
Compared with conventional heat sealing, high frequency welding bonds the two plastic layers with controlled heat and pressure without scorching the film. The result is a uniform joint around the whole perimeter, with a clearly lower defect rate.
HF welding
Heat and pressure applied at high frequency, without degrading the clear film.
Full cycle
Feeding, welding, die cutting and stacking on one machine.
Industrial use
Balloon factories, party-goods wholesalers and OEM brands.
Two materials
The same machine runs PVC and TPU film.
Production process
Four stages, one cycle
The sequence is the same on every model. What changes is who runs each stage: the operator on the semi-automatic version, the PLC on the automatic one.
01
Film feeding
PVC or TPU rolls are loaded. The feeder accepts different film gauges to match the balloon size you are producing.
02
High frequency welding
The two plastic layers are bonded with controlled heat and pressure. The seam stays airtight and uniform around the perimeter.
03
Die cutting with molds
The mold cuts and shapes the balloon. Changing size or shape means changing the mold, not adding a second line.
04
Output and packing
Balloons come out ready for inspection, packing and distribution. On the automatic version the machine also stacks the product.
Capabilities
What defines this machine
Molds from 10" to 36" and custom shapes
The fastest-moving sizes ship as standard. OEM molds let you make hearts, stars, numbers or a silhouette cut to your own brand.
Two automation levels
Semi-automatic to start with contained investment and mid volume; fully automatic with PLC and touch screen for plants that run every day.
Paperwork for export
CE certification and EN71 compliance, with documentation delivered alongside the machine: the usual requirement for selling balloons in the European Union and the United States.
Materials
PVC or TPU: the material picks your market
The same machine runs both films. Switching material means adjusting parameters and changing the roll, not building a second production line.
| Criterion | PVC BOBO balloon | TPU BOBO balloon |
|---|---|---|
| Film cost | Economy | Premium |
| Reference standard | EN71 | EN71, phthalate-free |
| Markets that ask for it | Latin America, price-sensitive | European Union, United States |
| Feel and finish | Glossy, stiffer | Soft, elastic, clearer |
| Machine setup | PVC welding profile | TPU welding profile |
| Typical use | Volume, resale, local decor | Brands, export, premium gifting |
Both profiles are stored as a job recipe: changing material does not require stripping the welding head.
Sizes and shapes
From 10 to 36 inches, plus the shape your brand asks for
Available shapes
A mold defines the balloon silhouette. You can combine it with printing, internal confetti, LED lights or whatever filling the end customer asks for.
Round Heart Star Number Brand shape · OEM
A new custom shape needs a tailored mold, with a lead time of roughly 15 to 20 working days.

FAQ
What buyers ask before ordering
It makes them. It is a production machine: clear PVC or TPU film goes in and finished BOBO balloons come out. Inflating ready-made balloons is a different product category and this machine does not cover it.
PVC is the traditional material and the cheapest per metre, in high demand across Latin America. TPU is more elastic, softer to the touch and phthalate-free, which is what buyers in the European Union and the United States ask for. The machine runs both by adjusting parameters and changing the roll.
Standard molds in 10, 18, 20, 24 and 36 inches ship with the machine. An OEM mold for a new shape — heart, star, number or a brand silhouette — is made to order, with a lead time of roughly 15 to 20 working days.
A one-year warranty and free spares for factory defects, online technical support by video call in English, Spanish and Chinese, installation and training videos, a permanent spare-parts supply, and an engineer visit on site when the project justifies it.
Automatic models are run from a touch screen and store the material and mold recipe. Semi-automatic models need the operator to load the film, so a short training session is advisable. Either way, a full manual and training material ship with the machine.
EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP, with payment by T/T, L/C, PayPal, Western Union or card. The usual lead time is 7 to 15 days for the standard model and 20 to 30 days with OEM customisation.
