1. Size

One of the considerations while purchasing the helium balloons is the size of the balloons. While twelve inch balloons are the most commonly used size of balloons , other sizes of balloons are also available.

The smallest balloons usually available are 7 inches in length and though these balloons are cheaper, they are also less noticeable if used for decor.

Though 11″, 14″ and 16 inches are other popular balloon sizes, larger balloons of size 26 inches are also available. However the larger balloons are more difficult to transport, and are likely to burst quickly since they require far more space.

2. Color

3. Pricing

The pricing of the balloons depends on a variety of factors like the size of the balloon, balloon design and quantity required.

4. Other factors

The seller will supply the balloons filled with helium, so that they float to the ceiling automatically. The balloons will have a string of the same color attached for easier handling of the balloon.

The balloons may deflate faster if they are exposed to direct sunlight, higher pressure and temperature, friction. The balloons should also be kept away from the sharp edges and objects to prevent deflation.
