How many types of helium balloons are there?

Rather than a number, it helps to think in families. Latex alone splits by finish into fashion, metallic, pastel, crystal, chrome, marble and confetti, and each of those behaves differently under light, which is why the same colour can look flat or luxurious depending on the finish.

Foil is organised by form instead: round Orbz, numbers, individual letters, ready-made phrases, hearts, stars, walking figures and die-cut supershapes. Giant latex from 36 inches and transparent bubble balloons form their own categories, and any of them can be personalised with print.

One practical caveat: not every balloon is meant to fly. Air-filled garlands, arches and frame constructions use the same latex but no helium, and airwalkers are balanced to hover rather than rise. When you order, it is worth saying whether the set has to float or simply stand.

Latex finishes: fashion, metallic, pastel, crystal, chrome, marble, confetti
Foil forms: Orbz, numbers, letters, phrases, hearts, stars, walkers, supershapes
Giant latex from 36 inches, alone or with tassels
Bubble balloons: transparent shells, often filled with confetti or small balloons
Custom printed balloons with a name, date or logo

All of these families are represented in the balloon catalogue.

Similar questions

What unique balloon shapes are available?

The catalogue goes well past round balloons: foil supershapes and walking figures, spherical Orbz, transparent bubbles, giant latex, numbers, letters, phrases and balloon-in-balloon designs.

What kind of themed balloons do you have (for example, for a birthday, wedding, graduation)?

We build themed sets for birthdays, baby showers, weddings, graduations, anniversaries and corporate events, matching palette, foil figures and scale to the occasion rather than selling one generic bundle.

How often do you update the assortment of balloons?

Core colours and sizes are restocked weekly, while suppliers release new foil shapes and seasonal collections several times a year. The website catalogue always shows what is actually available now.

Do you have fresh flowers and bouquets in your assortment?

Yes. Alongside balloons we work with fresh flowers, including roses, peonies, tulips and hydrangeas, and assemble bouquets and boxes to order, either separately or as part of a gift set.

Can I order balloons with a bouquet of flowers?

Yes, this is one of our most popular formats. We assemble the balloon set and the fresh bouquet in one palette and hand them over together, adding a cake, sweets or a card if you want.

Which balloon manufacturers/brands do you work with?

We work with established professional manufacturers: Qualatex and Sempertex among latex brands, Anagram and Grabo among foil brands, plus other reputable suppliers depending on the shape and colour needed.

How many balloons do you need to fill the entire ceiling in a room?

As a working rule, allow one 11-inch latex balloon per 0.3 to 0.4 square metres of ceiling. A room of 20 square metres therefore needs roughly 50 to 65 balloons for an even, generous cover.

Can I choose the colors of the balloons?

Yes, every set is built in the colours you choose. The palette covers fashion, pastel, metallic, chrome, crystal, marble and confetti finishes, and we can match a reference photo or your brand colours.

Which is better: a foil balloon or a latex balloon?

Neither is better in general. Latex is the economical way to get colour and volume for garlands and ceilings, while foil holds helium for days and gives shapes, numbers and printed messages. Most sets combine the two.

How do latex balloons differ from foil balloons?

Latex is porous natural rubber that loses helium within hours but is cheap and biodegradable. Foil is metallised nylon film with a sealed valve that holds gas for days and can be cut into any shape.

Do you have personalized balloons?

Yes. We print names, dates, greetings and logos on latex and foil balloons, and apply vinyl lettering to bubble and giant balloons. Personalised items need to be ordered ahead of the event.

What additional services can be provided along with ordering balloons?

Alongside the balloons we handle printing, helium or air inflation of balloons you already own, balloon drops, room decoration and photo zones, and we rent out tents, backdrops and stands.

Which balloons are suitable for adult and children's events?

Children respond to bright fashion colours, character figures and confetti, with foil the safer option near toddlers. Adult events look better in a restrained palette of chrome, metallic or pastel with large statement pieces.
