12" Standard Size

12 inches is the most widely used balloon size for retail, events, and general use — large enough to be visually impactful, easy to inflate by mouth or pump, and the format customers expect when buying balloons. A reliable, universally popular size that suits any occasion.

Metallic Finish — Premium Look

The metallic finish gives each balloon a shiny, reflective sheen that looks more premium than standard latex balloons. Metallic balloons are a popular upgrade choice for customers who want a more decorative, eye-catching result — perfect for birthdays, celebrations, and special occasions.

Assorted Colours — Mixed Pack

Supplied in an assorted mix of metallic colours — giving customers variety in a single pack. Assorted packs are a popular format as they appeal to a broad range of uses and occasions, and create a vibrant, colourful display when used together.

12 Per Pack — Great Value

12 balloons per pack provides strong value — enough for a party or event decoration without over-buying. The 12-pack format is a well-established retail standard that customers recognise and trust.

🎈 Inflating Your Balloons

By mouth: Suitable for air-filled displays — tie off tightly after inflating to your preferred size. Do not over-inflate; stop when the balloon feels firm but not taut.
By pump: A hand or electric balloon pump gives more consistent results and is easier for inflating multiple balloons. Recommended for larger quantities.
With helium: Standard 12" latex balloons are helium-compatible. Helium-filled balloons typically float for several hours to a day. Use balloon sealant for longer float times.

🌟 Styling & Display Ideas

Balloon bouquets: Group 3–5 balloons of mixed metallic colours together for a striking centrepiece or gift display.
Balloon arches & garlands: Metallic balloons add a premium, reflective element to arches and garlands — mix with matte balloons for contrast.
Ceiling clusters: Helium-filled metallic balloons clustered at the ceiling create an instant party atmosphere with minimal effort.
Photo backdrops: A wall of metallic balloons makes a simple, eye-catching photo backdrop for birthdays, celebrations, and events.

📅 Best Occasions for Metallic Balloons

Metallic balloons suit a wide range of occasions — the shiny finish adds a celebratory, premium feel that works for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, baby showers, gender reveals, New Year's Eve, and general party decoration. The assorted colour mix means there's something for every theme.

✅ Tips for Best Results

• Inflate balloons at room temperature — cold air causes balloons to deflate faster.
• Keep away from sharp objects, rough surfaces, and direct sunlight to extend balloon life.
• For helium balloons, inflate as close to the event as possible for maximum float time.
• Store uninflated balloons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve elasticity.
