Hints & Tips
To make booking simple, it helps to have a few details ready before choosing your balloon garland. These details ensure your setup runs smoothly and your colours and sizing suit your event.
Have these details ready:
Your event date, venue and hire times
The backdrop or frame you’ll be pairing the garland with
The garland size you prefer (2.5 m, 3 m or custom)
Up to three balloon colours
Access information for setup (parking, loading zones, stairs or lifts)
Whether the setup is indoors or outdoors
Once you have these details, exploring options in the Party Hire Shop becomes straightforward.
Why do balloons turn matte over time?
Latex balloons naturally oxidise when exposed to air, heat and humidity. This causes the surface to shift from glossy to matte. Indoors, balloons stay glossy longer; outdoors, oxidisation can occur more quickly.
FAQs | Balloon Garlands
Do you use glossing spray on balloon garlands?
No. We do not use balloon shine products. They can leave streaks, spots or residue and may affect the appearance of the backdrop. We continue to test products and methods but only use options that meet our quality standards.
Do you offer helium balloons?
No. We do not offer helium balloons. Helium is a non‑renewable resource, and we choose not to use it until a sustainable alternative becomes available.
How long do balloon garlands last?
Indoors in air conditioning, balloon garlands can last several days to weeks. Outdoors, longevity depends on weather conditions, with heat and humidity accelerating oxidisation.
