Helium Balloon Inflation Services at Spotlight

To place your balloon order, head into your nearest store with an inflation station. Browse the range of balloons in store, where our Sparties team members can help you find the perfect balloons for your celebration. They'll take down your specific order details and keep your balloons aside until they need to be inflated. Make sure you keep a copy of your order form for collection.

We ask that large balloon orders (orders of 10 or more) are placed two weeks in advance to ensure that the store has enough helium and balloons to meet your requirements. With all balloon orders, please contact or visit your store in advance to make sure that they can accommodate your order, as some days (particularly Saturdays) book up quickly.

Hi-Float is a safe, non-toxic and biodegradable treatment that extends the floatation time of latex balloons. A thin layer is applied to the inside of the balloon, sealing up the naturally occurring pores in the latex to contain the helium for longer. Hi-Float is clear so it won't change the colour of your balloons, and is also used with confetti balloons to adhere the confetti to the balloon's surface.

Latex balloons will stay inflated for around 10 hours, and foil balloons with helium will stay afloat for a few days to a week depending on the environment. If you need your latex balloons to float for longer, have them treated with Hi-Float to extend their inflation time to 24-48 hours.

For your safety, balloons should always be contained in a net or bag when travelling. As a rule of thumb, about 50 inflated balloons (standard 28 cm latex balloons) will fit in the back of a family sedan. For larger orders, time your collection if you have to make more than one trip, or get a family member or friend to help you transport the extra balloons. Alternatively, you can purchase a Helium Tank Kit or balloon gas cylinder hire for inflation at home or the venue.

If you have collected inflated balloons ahead of your event, ensure that you safely store them at home to maximise their floatation time. This means keeping them in an environment with a stable temperature, as sudden increases in warmth or cold can cause balloons to expand out of shape. Remove the balloons from their bags as soon as you get home, as static build up from bags can cause balloons to pop.

Balloons ordered online with home delivery or click & collect will not be inflated.
