FAQs
Are these balloons suitable for helium?
Yes, these 12-inch balloons can be filled with either air or helium depending on whether you want them to float or be used in floor/table bouquets.
Do these come with ribbon included?
No, this pack contains only the 8 balloons. Curling ribbon must be purchased separately.
Can I use these with balloon sticks?
Yes, these are standard 12-inch latex balloons compatible with most standard plastic balloon sticks and cups.
Is the color exactly as shown on the package?
Not necessarily. Packaged balloons often appear darker or more opaque; the final color is best judged once the balloon is fully inflated.
Are these balloons biodegradable?
These are standard latex balloons; please dispose of them properly after the party and avoid releasing them into the environment.
Troubleshooting
Balloon appears darker or different in shade than expected
Inflate the balloon fully to 12 inches; latex color lightens and becomes more vibrant once stretched to its intended size.
Balloon deflating too quickly
Ensure the knot is tied securely at the base of the neck. If using helium, ensure the valve is sealed properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your balloons, you can use a manual hand pump or an electric balloon inflator for efficiency. When handling, stretch the balloon slightly before inflation to improve elasticity. Since the color can shift when stretched, inflate them slowly to ensure the shade is consistent. For longevity, keep balloons away from direct sunlight, sharp objects, or extreme temperature fluctuations, which can cause them to deflate or pop prematurely. These balloons are compatible with standard balloon clips, sticks, or curling ribbon.
