Frequently asked questions about machines, processes, productivity,
support and services for industrial balloon printing.
It’s true — there are machines with a lower starting price.
The difference is that most of these machines are made by generic graphic equipment manufacturers who adapted their designs to print on balloons.
Aracelis was created by those who lived the balloon industry from the inside.
A real example:
In the 2-color rotary machine, many models use 8 balloon stations.
Aracelis uses 12 stations, because in continuous production 8 do not allow enough time for the ink to dry properly, which leads to smudges, waste, and instability.
Furthermore:
Aracelis does not focus on catalog price, but on industrial return on investment.
Yes. And that changes everything.
Latex balloons behave completely differently from paper, plastic, fabric, or any other stable material.
It expands, deforms, and requires:
Our machines were designed around balloon behavior evaluated through process experience, not adapted afterward.
Aracelis machines are custom-made to order.
This ensures that:
We don't sell off-the-shelf machines.
We deliver production platforms configured for your reality.
Typically, the customer gets in touch via:
When there is a language barrier, we use a translator or interpreter.
After defining the model:
When the machine is ready:
After approval:
And it becomes available for pickup and shipping with all documentation
Yes.
You can visit our company and see how we work:
For industrial security reasons, taking photos and filming is not allowed; we request company identification and genuine interest (subject to approval).
During the visit, we may be producing a different model; this is normal in an active factory.
If it depended only on us, yes.
But that depends on each client's policy.
Many industries work with:
We fully respect these limitations.
Aracelis machines are manufactured following CE requirement criteria.
Since the equipment is made to order:
When a model already has a CE history, only customized versions need to undergo the process again.
The lead time depends on two factors:
This is clearly stated during the negotiation.
In most cases, yes.
When there is a real need, such as:
When customization involves changes in engineering, structure, automation, or process, it may incur additional costs, which are always evaluated, explained, and approved with the client before development begins.
It all starts with your needs:
You explain the objective to us.
We evaluate the feasibility based on our practical experience.
If approved:
It is a collaborative process, and at the end, the client receives full training on the new system.
Because it is born from:
Furthermore, many of our main products today started as custom projects.
Yes — practically all of them on our website started as a custom project.
Machines such as:
They started as on-demand projects and became products.
The photos and videos are of real prototypes in operation.
No. And that is intentional.
Before being machine manufacturers, we have been specialists in balloon printing for over 20 years.
To build a truly efficient machine, one must master:
We prefer to make balloons at a level of excellence, rather than generic machines for everything.
Yes — and this question is much more common than it seems.
Many companies that today produce at scale started exactly like this: with interest, but without practical experience in the sector.
Aracelis does not just deliver a machine.
Upon acquiring equipment, you receive complete technical training, covering operation, the printing process, adjustments, best practices, and the fundamentals of working with balloons.
Additionally, we offer specialized technical consulting, which can help you:
Our experience comes from over 20 years of working directly with balloon printing, at both artisanal and industrial levels. This allows us to guide you not only on the machine, but on the business, the process, and the technical decisions that make an operation truly work.
You don't enter this market alone — you enter with an already established technical and industrial foundation.
Yes.
The process works like this:
