Party balloons are mostly made of a natural latex tapped from rubber trees and can be filled with either helium gas or air.

When inflated with helium latex balloons will float between 12 and 16 hours.

Our latex balloons are made from 100% natural latex — not plastic. Our latex balloons are biodegradable, and decompose as fast as an oak leaf in your backyard! Latex balloons come from rubber trees. Latex is collected by cutting the tree’s bark, then catching the latex in a cup.

Foil balloons are more expensive than latex balloons and they will require a bigger budget. Foil balloons will also last much longer.
Mylar / Foil balloons are made with a plastic/nylon, synthetic material that is recyclable but it is not biodegrade. Because these balloons are made from a synthetic material, they should never be released into the air.
Depending on foil balloon size and room temperature, foil balloons can last and float up to 2 weeks, making them great for longer events.
