FAQs
Can these balloons be filled with helium?
No, these balloons are specifically designed for air-fill only and are not suitable for helium.
What is included in the package?
The package includes 2 foil number balloons (for '1' and '3'), one straw for inflating, and a 2m ribbon for hanging.
How large are the balloons?

What is the best way to inflate them?

How do I attach them for display?
You can use the included 2m ribbon to tie the balloons together and then hang them or attach them to other decorations.
Can I use these outdoors?

What should I do if a balloon has a small hole?
Small punctures in foil balloons can be difficult to repair effectively and may cause the balloon to deflate. It is recommended to use a new balloon if a puncture is found.
Troubleshooting
Balloon will not inflate
Ensure the inflation straw is fully inserted into the valve. Check that the valve is not obstructed.
Balloon deflates quickly
Check the valve seal for any leaks. Ensure the straw was removed completely and the valve is properly closed. Inspect the balloon for any small punctures.
Ribbon is tangled
Gently untangle the ribbon. If severely knotted, a new ribbon may be required for display.
