It depends on a couple of things, the size of the balloons and the tank size. Temperature and tank pressures are also factors. The chart below will give you an approximate number of balloons based on these factors. The chart assumes that the tank is full and that you're not over-inflating the balloons. Note: You won't get 125 balloons if the tank is half full and the 9'' balloons you've bought are inflated to twice that size.

When filled with helium a latex (rubber) balloon will usually last about 12 hours and then start to deflate. A foil (Mylar) balloon will usually last about 2 weeks and then start to deflate.

When filled with helium, a latex balloon will usually last twelve hours and then start to deflate. A microfoil balloon will usually last 4 to 5 days before it starts to deflate - very slowly.

Helium is available to buy in disposable cylinders many of which supply 9" balloons in the pack. Helium is also available to hire from your nearest party store in different sizes to suit your needs. You will need to return this when finished.

You certainly can. However, you may find the need of guidance to avoid pitfalls. You can always get hourly consultation just to check to see if you are on the right track. But, remember this is an exciting and fun time don't get bogged down with the shopping and budget detail. [ Back To Top ]

Latex balloons have a limited life of about 18-24 hours for 11-12" pearlshine (metallic) balloons, so inflation should be done as close to the event time as possible. We are able to supply a product which can increase the float life of a helium inflated latex balloon.

Foil balloons will remain buoyant for about 2 weeks. They stay firm for the first 2-3 days and after may need slight re-inflation for firmness (not buoyancy), which can be done carefully with a straw and air.

For your first delivery, there is a two case (12 bottle) minimum, costing $36.00 plus delivery charge. For all subsequent deliveries, the minimum order is $30.00. If you request delivery with less than 10 empty bottles to be exchanged, your order will be subject to this $30.00 minimum. To continue using our bottles, you must have a minimum delivery of $30.00 in every eight week period. If not, there will be a service charge to reach the $30.00 minimum.

Our minimum order amount is $20.00 (before tax and shipping). When you place an item into your shopping cart, a new page will show the items in your cart, your subtotal, tax if applicable, shipping charges and your grand total. If your order subtotal is below $20.00, there will be a $5.00 handling fee, which will show up as part of the shipping and handling charge. All orders under $50.00 within the Continental U.S. are shipped via USPS. Orders over $50.00 are shipped via UPS.

No. The helium filled latex balloon is contained inside a sealed helium environment (the Sparklet). Helium inflated balloons in a helium environment will last as long as air filled balloons last in an air environment. Generally round latex balloons last as long as the Sparklet lasts (3 - 5 weeks). Hearts last for 3 weeks (inflate them nice and full to get a full "heart" shape). 350's last for 2 weeks and 260's last for 1 week.

Balloon Thrills is a full service event decorating company and thus we do not rent our helium tanks or sell our uninflated balloons.

Helium balloons deflate quicker than air filled balloons because the helium particles are smaller than air particles and so escape through the balloons more easily

All balloons are shipped flat, without air or helium. Balloon weights and ribbons are sold separately.
