How should I use foil balloons at my party?
Foil balloons look fantastic when tied to matching balloons weights. Create a showstopping centrepiece, entrance to the party or balloon bouquet by bunching together matching foil balloons and latex balloons together, or by using out balloon kits.
Do foil balloons need helium or air?
Foil 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 foil balloons with helium, don't forget to attach to balloons weights by using curling ribbon so they don't fly away!
What are foil balloons made out of?
Foil balloons are crafted from a metalised nylon material.
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.
