Balloon Care

We hope you love your balloons as much as we loved making them but, to keep them looking their best for as long as possible, there are a few things you need to know...

​

Keep your balloons away from direct sunlight, heaters, open windows, doors and sharp objects, they are fragile and will burst if not cared for correctly. 

​​​​

All orders will be quality checked prior to collection/delivery, once handed over, Creative Vision Events are no longer liable for damage/bursts/loss of any kind. 

​

Bubble Balloons

If you follow the above guidelines your balloon should float for between 5 to 10 days. The writing will bubble or wrinkle slightly after 24 to 48 hours as the balloon slowly reduces in size, this is part of the balloons natural “ageing process” and cannot be avoided.

​

Latex Balloons

11” latex Helium balloons generally last between 2-3 days as we treat them with Hi-Float which extends their float time.

​

Foil Balloons

Foil balloons last approx. 5-7 days.

​

Organic Air-Filled Displays

Air-filled balloons generally last for a couple of weeks, but will not float.

​

Helium

Please do not inhale the balloon gas inside your balloon as it is dangerous and can cause loss of consciousness or death.

 

Environment

We take environmental issues very seriously and feel it is important to point out that we do not advocate the releasing of balloons.

​

What are our Balloons made from?

Latex is a natural product derived from trees and is therefore biodegradable. The production of latex is a natural process of many plants, and tapping of the trees does not harm them.  Latex harvesting discourages deforestation because latex-producing trees are left intact. A tree can produce latex for up to 40 years. Latex balloons are made from the sap of a rubber tree so they’re completely natural.

​

What happens to the balloons when you’re done with them?

Latex balloons are 100% bio and photo degradable. In other words, latex breaks down under normal environmental conditions like other natural products. In fact, the rate of decay, under the same conditions, is approximately the same as that of an oak leaf.

​

Are balloons a serious choking hazard?

Uninflated and broken balloons may be a choking hazard for small children.  Adult supervision is always recommended around balloons for this reason. We encourage discarding of broken balloons at once to avoid any mishaps with children picking up scraps.
