FAQs
What is the size of these balloons?
Each foil balloon measures 14 inches in height.
Can I inflate these balloons with air instead of helium?
Yes, you can inflate them with either air or helium. Air inflation is suitable for creating banners that are hung up.
How do I spell out a custom message?
Purchase the individual letter or shape balloons you need and string them together using the holes provided on each balloon.
How long will the balloons stay inflated?
When inflated with helium, they can float for several hours to a day, depending on environmental conditions. Air-inflated balloons will retain their shape for days.
Are these balloons reusable?
Yes, if deflated carefully, they can be stored and reinflated for future events.
What kind of events are these balloons best suited for?
They are ideal for a wide range of celebrations including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, engagement parties, hen and stag dos, and any event where a personalized touch is desired.
Do the balloons come with string or ribbon to hang them?
The balloons themselves do not come with string or ribbon. You will need to provide your own string, ribbon, or twine to create banners.
Troubleshooting
Balloon is not inflating properly.
Ensure the inflation nozzle is fully inserted into the valve. Check that the valve is not obstructed. Do not over-inflate, as this can damage the seal.
Balloon is losing air quickly.
Check the self-sealing valve for any leaks or damage. Ensure it has sealed completely after inflation. Minor leaks can sometimes be resealed by gently pressing the valve area.
Holes for banner creation are torn.
Handle the balloon gently when threading string. If a hole is slightly torn, reinforce it with a small piece of balloon tape before threading.
Gold color appears dull.
Ensure the balloon is not exposed to excessive moisture or harsh cleaning agents. The foil's sheen is best maintained in dry conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Inflation:
- Locate the inflation valve on the balloon.
- For air inflation, use a hand pump or electric inflator. For helium inflation, use a regulated helium tank with an appropriate nozzle.
- Insert the nozzle into the valve and inflate slowly.
- *Do not over-inflate*, as this can cause the balloon to burst.
- Once inflated, remove the nozzle and the valve will self-seal.
Creating Banners:
- Use the built-in holes at the top of each balloon to thread string, ribbon, or twine.
- Ensure the string is taut and secure to prevent balloons from drooping.
Care:
- Store uninflated balloons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Handle inflated balloons with care to avoid punctures.
- If a balloon loses air, it can often be reinflated. Check the valve for any leaks.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard helium tanks and air pumps.
- Can be hung or attached to various surfaces using string or tape (ensure tape is balloon-safe).
