Advertising Balloons FAQ

What is the best type of material for advertising balloons?

Polyurethane is the best material for helium advertising balloons. It is 2/3 lighter in weight, is stronger, retains its color better, and retains helium 3 times better than PVC. PVC made in China is used to make the majority of helium advertising balloons and blimps because of its extremely low cost.advertising balloon made of polyurethane material

Are your advertising balloons easy to use?


Yes, most of our balloons and blimps are easily inflated in a few minutes. There is a small inflation port plug that you open and close when filling with helium and a quick link that attaches the balloon or blimp to the tether line. 15ft. and larger blimps and 8.5ft. and larger balloons require more than one tank of helium to fill so it takes a few minutes longer. easy to use advertising balloon

How long will the balloon last?

Our polyurethane balloons rarely “wear out”. I can’t remember one that “wore out”. If the balloon or blimp was flown everyday outdoors it would probably last two years. Damage from the sun would finally degrade the material. The reasons people have to replace their balloons:
the balloon is left up in high winds and it is damaged,
the balloon is tied where the tether line is rubbed and is severed,
the balloon is stolen,
the balloon is stored when it is wet and a mold destroys the material.
Follow the care instructions and your balloon will work for you for a long time.
