We want your balloons to look their best for as long as possible, but we also want them to be enjoyed safely. A little care makes a big difference.
Whether you are ordering balloons for a birthday, wedding, corporate event or school celebration, please follow this guidance when displaying, handling and disposing of your balloons.
Balloon arches, garlands, backdrops and corporate displays can include frames, weights, fixings and other structural components. Please avoid moving or dismantling them unless we have advised you that it is safe to do so.
If you are unsure about your display at any point, contact MnM Balloons and we will be happy to advise you.
Balloons are sensitive to temperature changes. Keep them away from radiators, heaters, fireplaces, candles, hot lights and other direct heat sources.
Excessive heat can cause balloons to expand and potentially burst. A comfortable, stable environment gives the best result.
Keep balloons away from sharp edges, pins, scissors, rough walls, branches, textured ceilings and abrasive surfaces.
Even a sharp corner or rough brick wall can damage a balloon display.
Uninflated balloons and pieces of burst balloons can present a choking and suffocation hazard, especially to young children.
Children should be supervised around balloons, and any burst or damaged balloons should be collected and disposed of immediately.
Many balloons are made from natural rubber latex. Some people can experience allergic reactions, from mild irritation to more serious reactions.
If you, someone in your household or a guest has a known or suspected latex allergy, please tell us before ordering.
Sunlight, heat, wind, rain and sudden temperature changes can affect outdoor balloon installations. Direct sunlight and warmth can cause balloons to expand, while wind can make them rub against nearby surfaces.
We will advise if we believe the location or conditions create particular risks.
Helium balloons should remain securely weighted or attached. Please never intentionally release helium balloons outdoors.
Helium should never be deliberately inhaled because it displaces the oxygen your body needs.
If a balloon bursts, keep children and pets away, collect all pieces, check for loose ribbon or decorative attachments and dispose of the materials responsibly.
Where we collect an installation, eligible balloon materials can be taken away for recycling through our NABAS TerraCycle recycling scheme.
Burst balloons, ribbons, strings and small decorative components can potentially be swallowed. Curious pets may also scratch, bite or become tangled in balloon displays.
If a balloon bursts near a pet, collect balloon fragments and any loose ribbon or string straight away.
Keep them cool. Keep them secure. Keep them away from sharp objects. Supervise young children. Never release balloons outdoors.
If you have questions before or after your installation, we are always happy to help.
