16″/40cm helium filled balloons have a life span of 30 to 36 hours, or to make them last extra long, just choose to add our ultra hi float gel giving them a life span of 5 to 6 days. Float times are estimates based on typical indoor conditions. Balloons come with a standard matt coloured ribbon to match, but you can upgrade to a shiny metallic ribbon via the drop down list. The Price does not include a base or bunching of balloons. For table centres or floor bunches please click Balloon Arrangements.
