O-TYPE

The Balloon for All Reasons.

The elegant O-type is an excellent blend of the engineering efficiency of the large-gored Viva envelope and the advertising effectiveness of the smoother Z-type envelope.


The Balloon for All Reasons.

Considered a very elegant design, the O-type is an excellent blend of the engineering efficiency of the large-gored Viva envelope and the advertising effectiveness of the smoother Z or N-type envelopes.

With twelve slightly bulbous gores, the O-type is equally suited to fun-flying, passenger-carrying, or promotional work.
