Balloon information

Helium balloons

How to get your helium balloon float longer

1. Inflate balloons as close as possible to your event.

2. Tie the vale with elastic strings(for foil balloons or bubble balloons), for example the stick balloon can be used to double seal the vale.   

3. Keep balloons at room temperature (around 18°C-20°C)

4. Balloons should be kept away from heat, for example radiator, light, or fireplace
