Balloons
We want our customers and recipiants to enjoy their balloons for as long as possible so we treat all of our Latex balloons with ULTRA HI-FLOAT to extend their floating times. Because of the nature of balloons we can not guarantee float times on any of our balloons due to environmental conditions outside of our control.
Mylar Float Times
Below are the average floating times for Mylar balloons filled with helium. These floating times are estimates only. Floating times will vary due to balloon shape and environmental conditions such as temperature, weather conditions, and altitude. Shaped balloons verify and the more complex the design the less stable the floating time.
18" Foil Balloons
Can be up to 3 - 4 weeks floating time.
26" Foil Balloons
Can be up to 3 - 4 weeks floating time.
36" Foil Balloons
Can be up to several months floating time.
Latex Float Time
*Please remember that these are estimates. Floating time will vary considerably due to factors such as latex quality, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc. Floating time estimates for ULTRA HI-FLOAT are from the manufacturer. Ink on printed balloons may also minimize floating time.

11” Standard Colors 12-24 hrs 4-10 days
