Use Balloons that Last Longer. Qualatex’s Bubble Balloons and Anagram’s XL balloons last longer than the average mylar. Bubble Balloons will last two to four weeks. Anagram’s XL balloons will look fresh and fully inflated for up to 25 days.* They can be found with an XL logo throughout our catalogs.

* Environment factors can have a significant effect on metallic balloon performance over an extended length of time, especially humidity levels and variations in barometric pressure, and inflation pressure (over-inflation at time of initial fill will have a negative effect on the life of any metallic balloon).

Build it with walls. Walls are a great option for setting the scene at an event, and can be done without the use of helium. There are different techniques for building walls—try the Rouse Matrix Systems™.
