How long do balloons last?
It depends on the size and environment which they are in. For helium, kept indoors at room temperature, standard 11" latex balloons last 8-12 hours. Confetti balloons last 4-8 hours. Giant 3ft latex balloons and mylar balloons can float for 2-5 days! Balloons kept outdoors will have shorter float times. Balloon garlands which are air filled, last much longer, and can last a month or more (no guarantees) in ideal conditions. We offer garland touch ups at an additional cost.
How do I prevent my balloons from popping?
Avoid any direct sunlight and heat if possible. Your balloons will always last longer if kept indoors. Avoid any sharp objects that could pop your
balloons!
How do I properly dispose of my balloons after my event?
Help us protect the environment and wildlife. Never release balloons into the air. Lost balloons eventually find their way into forests or bodies of water, endangering animal life. Mylar balloons can also cause damage to power lines. Your safest bet is to throw your latex balloons away in the trash, where they will eventually decompose.
How do I store my reusable air-filled balloons?
Store them in a large box or container and keep them in a cool and dry place. Avoid any areas in heat or sunlight. When they start to deflate overtime, simply grab a straw or your balloon pump and blow air back into them!
Do you have a physical store location?
We have a studio located at 5786 North Street in Halifax, NS. We don’t have regular store hours however you can book an appointment to stop by!
