How long do balloons last?
Foil balloons are able to keep their helium-filled shape and float longer than latex balloons, usually lasting days (depending on the balloon 2-5 days). Latex balloons keep their helium-filled shape and float for 8-12 hours depending on the size.
Do balloons need helium or air?
Balloons can be blown up with either helium for floating or air for decoration, depending on your desired purpose. If you want the balloon to float, fill it with helium, as it's lighter than air. If you want to use the balloon for decorations that don't require floating, you can inflate it with air. Some small or mini foil balloons are meant for air inflation only, as they are too small to hold enough helium to float. Always check the product description or instructions for the specific balloon to see if it's designed for helium or air inflation.
If you are filling your balloons with helium, don't forget to attach to balloons weights by using curling ribbon so they don't fly away!
What's the difference between foil balloons and latex balloons?
While foil balloons are crafted from a metalised nylon material, latex balloons are made from rubber. Both balloon types can be filled with helium or air, however, foil balloons tend to float for longer. This is one of the reasons foil balloons cost more than latex balloons.
