You guys prefer one of the other? I know a couple of people that swear by Betallatex, but I've never even used them. What say you?

I primarily prefer Qualatex except for a few colors. I prefer the black Betallatex over the Qualetex black. I like some of the Betallatex colors, so I use them all the time. I use the Betallatex mettalic periwinkle for a few sculptures I do. I also use Betallatex for special shapes like the small bear head for Winnie the Pooh. I primarily use Qualatex standard colors.

I always used the Qualitex until I got a bad batch. It was then that I found that you could buy solid color Bellatex in bags of 50 so that you don't have to stock as many of the seldom used colors. I started using Bellatex this past summer, and really like them. They seem to be a little ticker than the Q balloons and I find that I get less breakage. I used them when I busked this past Saturday night. the temperature was low, (30 degrees or so), and I went from the street into the restaurants. I didn't have one B balloon break

Whats the best source for Bellatex balloons?

I've been getting my Bellatex balloons from TMyers, ame place as I get the Qualitex.

Balloonacyonline is a great source for Betallatex.

I do find the Qualatex Brown is much nice than the Betallatex Chocolate Brown, which I find to be pearlish and gray tinted.

I haven't used Betallatex. Here my choice is between Qualatex and Sempterex. I go for Sempterex because the quality is so much superior.

I used nothing but Qualatex for 4 years and then they started getting thin. So I tried Betalletex on the advice from Stretch the Balloon Dude, and omg Betalletexis so much better. Stronger and a little bit longer.

Sempterex is the same company as Betallic. they are they same product.

Does anyone know of any company that makes a Navy Blue 260? not the dark blue that Qualatex makes... that is really a royal blue. I am looking for a true, DARK navy or midnight blue. The only one I found was by BKLatex, and so far every balloon has popped, just making pinch twists.... These balloons are useless. Any leads to any other balloon company out there would be greatly appreciated... I really need NAVY. Thanks,

I don't know any company that makes navy blue. If you can't find one, and you absolutely need navy blue, you could try double stuffing. Maybe stuff a black balloon into the dark blue balloon to see if that color will work for you. Good luck.
