Foil Balloons
18" and larger sized foil balloons have self-sealing valves and do not require the use of a heat sealer.
The inks on foil balloons may run if they come in contact with water.
2-Sided denotes both sides of an 18" foil balloon have the same or complementary design. Foil balloons designated as 1-sided have silver or a solid color on the other side.
Packaged denotes 18" foil balloons are individually pre-packaged.
Measurements and Sizing
Measurements for foil balloons listed under each product number are categories and should be used as a guide for the size. Due to variations in manufacturing processes, actual sizes may vary slightly.
Flat & Preinflated Balloons
2", 4", 5", 9", 12", 13", & 14" air-filled foil balloons ordered flat are not self-sealing and require the use of an electric air inflator and a heat sealer. Cups and sticks are sold separately.
2", 4", 5", 9", 12", 13", & 14" air-filled foil balloons ordered preinflated arrive air-filled with cups and sticks.
Do not put helium in non-valved foil balloons smaller than 18".
High Altitudes
Certain foil balloons cannot float in a high altitude. If you are located at a high altitude, please consider the following:
- Balloons that are 21" or larger are more likely to float in high altitudes than 18" balloons.
- 18" Balloons that have detailed designs use more inks, which may cause the balloons to be heavier and less likely to float in a high altitude. This is also true for all 2-sided, 18" designs.
- 18" round-shaped balloons generally float better than heart, star, or other shaped balloons.
- Balloon weights and ribbons attached to balloons contribute to the floating ability.
