FAQs
Are these balloons biodegradable?
These balloons are made from natural latex, which is generally biodegradable, but they should still be disposed of in standard waste bins to avoid littering.
Do I need a pump to inflate these?
While you can inflate them by mouth, using a hand pump or electric balloon pump is highly recommended for speed and consistent sizing.
How long will the arch last?
Air-filled arches can last several days if kept in a climate-controlled room. Helium-filled arches typically last 8-12 hours.
Can these be used outdoors?
Yes, but they are susceptible to wind and sun. Use air instead of helium to avoid having them fly away, and secure them firmly to a heavy base.
How many balloons are in a pack?
This pack contains 15 balloons designed for linking.
Troubleshooting
Balloons keep popping during assembly
Do not over-inflate; ensure the balloon has a slight "give" when squeezed.
Arch is leaning or falling over
Ensure the base is properly weighted or that the attachment points on the wall are securely fastened.
Balloons are losing air quickly
Check the knots at the connection points and ensure they are tied tightly to prevent air leakage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your arch, begin by inflating the balloons to roughly 80% capacity to avoid overstretching the material. Connect the balloons by tying the tail of one to the connection point of the next. Use non-marking tape or command hooks to secure your finished structure to walls. If using helium, ensure you tie them with high-quality ribbon to prevent leakage. Store unused balloons in a cool, dark, and dry place to prevent degradation. Dispose of latex responsibly after your event and do not release them outdoors to protect local wildlife.
