Of that sort, yes. Balloons you make for kids to play with, to fill
with helium, etc. As asked in the They Might Be Giants song "Where do
they make balloons?"

poormattie-ga,

Based on the title of your question and, since you posted it under
music, I figured the reference was to TMBG's song (
http://www.iblameyou.com/lyrics/no_balloons.html ). :)

Balloons are made all over the world and for many different purposes.
For example, the familiar latex balloons are made in the US, Canada,
Mexico, Australia, Japan, United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia, and in many
other countries.

Some manufacturers are listed at Balloon HQ:

You can even make them at home:

For other types of balloons, you'll find manufacturers listed in these
categories of the Google Directory:

Manufacturers of balloons for promotional use --

Manufacturers of hot air balloons --

So where do they make balloons? Everywhere! Hope that helps. :)
