Why Helium?
Helium adds an extra special touch to any occasion. They are well worth the extra effort to inflate and can have many uses. From Balloon bundles to banners. Not only do they continue to hold their float throughout your event, they last longer than air filled balloons and continue to look great even after your party.
What Accessories do I need?
Helium is the most obvious, but sometimes the most forgotten, you can buy a helium canister here.
Balloon weights, Ribbons and mosaics are also the perfect addition. How do I inflate the balloons?
To inflate
1. Undo tap on helium canister.
2. Fit the balloon neck over the nozzle of the helium canister.
3. Press down on the nozzle to begin inflating.
4. When the balloon is full, remove from the nozzle, holding the neck tightly to avoid deflating.
5. Depending on the balloon type, knot or seal the balloon opening.
6. Add ribbons and weights, if required.
We also have these handy guides on how to inflate some of our balloons and construct our balloon walls and arches. Which balloons do I need?
Each balloon type will depend on your party needs and aesthetic. It is worth noting that foil and latex balloons last differently due to the weight of the material. Foil balloons can last 3-5 days, whereas latex 5-8 hours. Confetti balloons will also last less time due to the weight of the confetti, added to the weight of the helium.
