FAQs

Can I use these with helium?

No, these balloons are specifically engineered for air inflation only and will not float if filled with helium.

How do I hang them without ribbon?

You can use double-sided adhesive tape or balloon glue dots to attach them directly to smooth wall surfaces.

Are these reusable?

Yes, you can gently re-insert the straw to release the air after your event and fold them for storage.

What is the material of the balloons?

They are made of a high-quality, durable metallic foil material.

How long do they stay inflated?

When kept away from extreme heat or cold, these air-filled balloons can remain inflated for several weeks.

Troubleshooting

Balloon is not inflating

Ensure the straw is inserted past the self-sealing flap inside the valve, which may feel like a slight resistance at first.

Air leaking after inflation

Gently pinch the self-sealing valve closed after removing the straw to ensure it has locked properly. If leaking continues, press the valve area flat to reseal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit includes everything needed for display
  • Compact 35cm size works well in smaller indoor spaces
  • Easy-to-use manual straw inflation
  • Durable foil material maintains shape well

Cons

  • Not suitable for helium use
  • Requires manual lung power for inflation
  • Smaller size may not be suitable for large outdoor venues

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Inflation: Locate the self-sealing valve at the base of each balloon. Insert the provided straw carefully into the valve opening.
  2. Filling: Blow air through the straw until the balloon is firm but still has slight give. Remove the straw; the valve will automatically seal.
  3. Hanging: Feed the included ribbon through the pre-cut holes on the balloon tabs. Ensure the knot is secure before mounting.
  4. Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from sharp objects. If deflated, these can be carefully folded and stored for future use. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations as this can cause the foil to expand or contract, potentially damaging the seams.
