FAQs
Does the balloon come with a ribbon?
The product includes the balloon itself; ribbons and weights for anchoring are sold separately.
Can I use an air pump to fill this?
Yes, you can use a manual or electric air pump. Note that air-filled balloons will not float; they are intended for wall mounting or tabletop displays.
How long will the balloon stay inflated?
When properly sealed, a foil balloon can stay inflated for several days to a week, depending on the environment.
Is the balloon biodegradable?
No, foil balloons are made of synthetic materials and should be disposed of in standard waste after use.
Can I refill the balloon if it goes soft?
Yes, you can carefully insert a straw into the self-sealing valve to add a small amount of additional air or helium.
Troubleshooting
Balloon is not floating correctly
Ensure the balloon was filled with 100% helium, as air will not cause the balloon to float.
Balloon appears slightly deflated
Check if the self-sealing valve is properly closed or if there is a pinhole leak from contact with sharp decorations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your balloon, insert a straw or the nozzle of an inflator into the self-sealing valve located at the base. Gently fill until the balloon is firm but not overly tight to prevent popping. Because this is a foil balloon, it is sensitive to extreme temperature changes; keep it away from direct sunlight or freezing temperatures, as these can cause the gas inside to expand or contract, potentially damaging the material. When the event concludes, gently insert a straw into the valve to release air if you wish to dispose of it flat.
