Helium

The balloons are supplied flat packed ready to be filled with helium by you. We offer two sized of helium canister:

• F30 provides enough helium for one giant balloon. (£32.50)
• F50 provides enough helium for two giant balloons. (£40)

These helium canisters are disposable and therefore classed as perishable. They are delivered direct from an external supplier, so whilst we endeavour to ensure your helium arrives on your chosen day, it will not arrive with your balloons, but may arrive slightly before or after your delivery.

Inflation

For inflation, our recommendation would be to have a tape measure, get 2 chairs and measure a space of 70cm between the 2 chairs. Blow the balloon up with the helium in between the 2 chairs until it is touching each chair and then you will know it is filled to exactly the right size to hold the weight of the tail.

If you are not using a tassel tail, we recommend filling your balloon partially with air, as the the pyramid weights do not support a full helium giant balloon on it's own.

For giant balloons on plain ribbon or short tassel tails we recommend a ratio of 60:40 helium to air. 

TOP TIP: For the confetti balloons, put a puff of air into the balloons before the helium to create static. This way the confetti will stick to the sides of the balloon.

Made from

The balloons are made from excellent quality latex - the balloon choice of professionals.
