How Long Do the Balloons Last?

Real float times — no surprises on the day.

We tell you upfront so you can plan inflation timing around your event. Float times are for indoor use at 20–25°C. Outdoors, summer heat or aircon can shorten times.

🎈

Helium Latex (standard)

8–12 hrs
Same-day event use

Standard 11″ or 12″ latex balloons filled with helium. Inflate the morning of your event — ready by evening, deflated by the next morning.

One day only
✅

Helium Latex + Hi-Float

24–72 hrs
Treated for extended float

Same balloons treated with Hi-Float gel before inflation. Lasts 3× longer. Available as a $0.50/balloon add-on at our Balloon Bar.

2–3 days
🎌

Helium Foil / Mylar

5–7 days
Long-lasting party favourite

Shape balloons, number balloons and letter balloons. Filled with helium, lasts up to a week indoors. Perfect for week-of celebrations or hospital gifts.

One week
🎯

Air-Filled Latex (Garlands)

2–3 weeks
Indoor, no helium

Organic balloon garlands and installations are air-filled (no helium). They sit on backdrops or walls and look perfect for 2–3 weeks indoors before deflating.

Long lasting
✨

Air-Filled Foil Shapes

3–4 weeks
Indoor display

Letter balloons, number balloons and shaped foil balloons filled with air (not helium). Mounted on sticks or attached to walls/garlands. The longest-lasting option.

Longest lasting
☀

Outdoor Helium

3–6 hrs
Sydney summer conditions

Helium balloons outdoors in summer heat (above 25°C) deflate faster — expect 3–6 hours. For outdoor events we recommend Hi-Float or scheduling inflation closer to start time.

Weather dependent

Quick tips to make balloons last longer

  • Inflate close to event time. The longer between inflation and party, the more deflation you'll see. We can deliver inflated 1–2 hours before start.
  • Add Hi-Float ($0.50/balloon) to triple the float time on latex.
  • Keep them indoors and out of direct sun. A hot car or sunny backyard kills helium float fast.
  • Mix helium + air-filled. Garlands and installations use air-filled balloons that last weeks. Save helium for the showpieces.
  • Foil/mylar balloons are the long-lasters. If you need balloons to look perfect for a week, choose foil over latex.
