Balloons and Cars

It is very important to get your balloons home or to your event as soon as possible. Balloons can pop when exposed to hot metal objects such as the outside of the car or seatbelt parts.

DO NOT LEAVE BALLOONS IN A HOT PARKED CAR.

Temperature

Helium expands in the heat. Warm or hot temperatures can bring balloons down faster than their proper float time and may result in popping. Extreme cold can also cause your balloon to shrink. Try to maintain a consistent temperature so they won’t be shocked and damaged by the fluctuations.

Bagged Balloons

Bags should be used for transport only and balloons should be in the bag for no longer than an hour or so. Extended periods of time in bags can reduce the balloon float time.

Latex Balloons

As latex balloons are biodegradable, it is normal that they (all colours and clear) oxidize and become cloudy over time as they degrade. Heat, sun, and high humidity can accelerate this process. Please recycle.

Foil Balloons

Do not release foil balloons outdoors. Power failures can result if these balloons become entangled in electric lines.

Floating Time

Typically, a standard 11” latex balloon will last 10-12 hours depending on heat and humidity. Treated with “Hi Float*” these balloons will last 2-3 days. Exposure to warm temperatures can reduce the float time. Foil balloons generally last a week and sometimes more.

* Hi-Float is safe, nontoxic, water soluble, and biodegradable. It is used to extend the float time of latex balloons.

Bunches

Often we tie a small piece of ribbon around the bunch to help stop tangling. This is easy to remove when you have made it to your destination.

While we use the highest quality balloons and take every precaution necessary with your balloons to ensure they last through your event, once the balloons leave our door they are out of our control and thus care is within your hands.

THANK YOU & ENJOY
