How to Look after Your Balloons:

• In order to keep your balloons inflated for the inflation period we advise, we would suggest following these guidelines:
• Please remove balloons from the bags or box as soon as arriving home or at the venue to ensure that the balloons are allowed to float freely.
• Keep balloons at a room temperature to ensure they stay inflated for their guaranteed inflation period set by cardfactory*.
• Never leave balloons in a car, garage or cold room overnight. Cold air causes the balloon to deflate faster than the inflation period we have advised.

Also please remember:

• Please do not release helium balloons into the environment as they can harm wildlife and farm animals. They can also litter the countryside and coast. Enjoy your balloon and, when it is deflated, dispose of it responsibly. 
• Balloons are intended for display purposes, increased handling may cause damage to the balloon.
• Balloons are intended for indoor use. If choosing to display outdoors please take weather conditions into consideration.
• Never use a metallic ribbon with a foil balloon.
• Some balloons may conduct electricity - Do not release near overhead power lines.
• Excessive heat could cause the balloon to burst.
