Indicia-bearing balloon and method of manufacture

摘要

A method is provided for applying personalized indicia, such as a photograph, to a balloon. The method includes employing a commercially available copier to reproduce an image from a photograph onto a thin plastic film having a pressure sensitive adhesive backing. The plastic film is then adhered to a deflated balloon, and the balloon is subsequently inflated. The image applied to the plastic film conforms to the non-planar shape of the balloon without becoming separated therefrom.
