FAQs
How long will my balloons last?
11” latex: minimum of 2 days (with hi-float gel)
18” Foil shapes: 3-5 days
Giant foil shapes (including numbers): 3-5 days
Orbz balloons: 1-2 weeks
20” Bubble: 1-2 weeks
24” Bubble: 1-2 weeks
These are average float time, and this does depend on how you look after your balloon/s. NB: keeping them at room temperature and away from sharp or rough surfaces that could damage or pop the balloon.
Please note personalised balloons will float for this time but the vinyl writing may start to wrinkle. So please order as close to the event as possible.
What type of balloons last the longest?
Air-filled balloon designs (these are usually floor standing or a table centrepiece) can last for months as air doesn’t escape as fast as helium does from the inside of the balloon. All air filled balloons are a great long-lasting designs.
Why have my foil balloons deflated a little?
If you move your foil balloons from a warm area to a cold place i.e. outside if it’s a cold or windy day, in a car or a garage? The foil balloons will deflate slightly because helium contracts in cool air and makes balloons look deflated. If you place them back at room temperature they will return to their normal size.
Can I reuse my Foil Balloons?
It is possible to reuse most foil balloons but we cannot guarantee that it will work every time as they are fairly delicate but it is worth a try. Expel the air from your balloon by inserting a long straw quite a distance into the self-sealing valve, the air will then start to come out and you can flatten and fold your balloon ready to re-fill with helium or air. Foil balloons can be recycled with plastic waste.
Which type of balloons are environmentally friendly?
Latex balloons are 100% biodegradable and are made from natural latex from rubber trees however they must be disposed of with household or commercial waste where they will decompose in landfill.
Do you deliver or can I collect?
We do offer delivery for larger orders and party set-ups or orders within a 3-mile radius from M27, where possible. However, for postcodes outside of this area, a delivery charge will apply. We can also arrange collection date and time and we try to be as flexible as we can. We need the date of collection rather than the birthday or event.
