Balloon Care Tips

We want your balloons to look amazing for as long as possible! Balloons are delicate, temporary decorations, and their appearance and lifespan depend on how they’re handled and their surroundings.

Mind the Temperature

• Keep balloons at a comfortable indoor temperature. Heat causes the gas inside to expand, while cold causes it to contract.
• Avoid direct sunlight, heating vents, hot cars and other hot spots. Excessive heat can cause balloons to burst.
• Helium balloons may appear softer or slightly deflated in cold conditions. They may regain their shape when brought back to room temperature. Allow them to warm naturally, away from direct heat.

Indoor and Outdoor Placement

• Keep balloons away from textured ceilings, light fixtures, sharp edges and rough surfaces that could damage them.
• Wind can rub balloons against walls, brickwork and tree branches, increasing the risk of damage.
• We recommend displaying balloons indoors or in a sheltered area wherever possible.

Safety First

• Keep uninflated balloons and broken pieces away from children and pets. Adult supervision is essential, and broken pieces should be discarded immediately.
• Keep helium balloons secured to suitable weights. Never release them outdoors, and dispose of balloons responsibly after use.
• Keep foil balloons away from powerlines and electrical equipment.
