What is the mylar foil used for? Is it food-safe?+

While the mylar foil is weather-resistant, we recommend bringing the balloons indoors after use to prolong their life and prevent damage from wind or rain.

These balloons are primarily designed for air inflation. While some may hold helium briefly, they’re not suitable for long-term helium use due to the thinness of the mylar foil.

The banners are printed on durable mylar but can fade slightly over time with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Store them in a cool, dark place to preserve their vibrancy.

The product typically arrives in a standard cardboard box. We encourage recycling of the packaging materials after use.
