Balloon Flight Times & Care Guide

1. Average Flight Times with Helium Latex Balloons (Standard 11-12 inch): Without Hi-Float: 8 to 12 hours With Hi-Float: Up to 2-3 days (optimal conditions) Latex Balloons (Large 16-24 inch): Without Hi-Float: 18 to 24 hours With Hi-Float: Up to 3-5 days Foil/Mylar Balloons: Standard Sizes (18-inch): 3 to 5 days, sometimes up to a week Larger Shapes (Jumbo, Characters): 5 to 7 days, occasionally longer depending on conditions 2. Balloon Care Tips to Extend Longevity Temperature Control: Keep balloons in a cool, dry environment. Avoid extreme heat as it causes helium to expand and balloons to burst. Cold environments can cause balloons to deflate temporarily, but they will expand back at room temperature. Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep away from sharp edges, rough surfaces, and static electricity. Proper Handling: Handle balloons gently when transporting to prevent popping. Use balloon bags for larger orders to minimize exposure to wind and friction. Hi-Float Usage: For latex balloons, request Hi-Float treatment for longer float times, especially for events lasting more than a day. 3. Additional Information: Helium Leakage: Helium is lighter than air and escapes over time, even through the microscopic pores in balloons. Foil balloons are less porous than latex, hence the longer float time. Reinflation Tip: Foil balloons can often be reinflated if they start to deflate, unlike latex balloons. Outdoor Considerations: Outdoors, factors like wind, sun, and temperature changes can reduce balloon life. Always secure balloons with proper weights. Environmental Responsibility: Never release balloons into the environment. Dispose of them properly to protect wildlife and the environment.
