FAQs
What size is the balloon when fully inflated?
The balloon measures approximately 18 inches (45cm) when fully inflated.
Does the balloon come inflated?
No, the balloon ships uninflated and requires separate inflation.
Can I inflate this balloon with air?
Yes, you can inflate the balloon with either air or helium using an appropriate pump or tank.
How long will the balloon float?
When inflated with helium, the balloon can float for several days, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and altitude.
How do I seal the balloon after inflation?
The balloon features a self-sealing valve that automatically closes once the inflation nozzle is removed.
Can I reuse the balloon?
While you can deflate and re-inflate a foil balloon, it is generally a one-time use item, especially if inflated with helium, as the seal may not be as effective upon subsequent inflations.
What other party supplies can I combine this with?
This balloon pairs well with other party decorations, solid color balloons, streamers, and themed tableware from Unique Party.
Troubleshooting
Balloon does not inflate fully
Ensure the inflation nozzle is properly inserted into the self-sealing valve. Check that the air source or helium tank is functioning correctly. Do not over-inflate, as this can damage the balloon.
Balloon deflates quickly
Verify that the self-sealing valve is properly closed. Check for any small punctures or tears in the foil material. Extreme temperature changes can also affect inflation.
Valve is difficult to open for inflation
Gently manipulate the valve area to loosen it. Ensure no debris is obstructing the valve opening. If using a pump, make sure it's designed for balloon inflation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This balloon ships uninflated. To inflate, locate the self-sealing valve at the balloon's opening. Insert a helium tank nozzle or an air pump into the valve and fill until the balloon is firm but not overinflated. The self-sealing valve will automatically close to retain the air or helium.
Compatibility: The balloon is compatible with standard helium tanks and air pumps. It can be easily integrated with other party supplies, including latex balloons, ribbons, and weights to create elaborate arrangements.
Care: Store uninflated balloons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to prevent damage. Once inflated, avoid exposing the balloon to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect its ability to hold air or helium. For the longest float time, keep helium-filled balloons indoors.
