You also have the option of adding Hi-Float to your helium balloons to extend their float time. Spotlight's in-store balloon inflation covers everything from single balloons to orders for large party venues. Pop into your nearest Spotlight store with a Spartys Inflation Station and let us do the tricky work of balloon inflation and arrangement for you!
Spotlight Balloon Inflation Prices
The prices for inflating your chosen balloons at our Inflation Station are determined by the size and type of balloon, as different balloons require different volumes of helium or air. Our dedicated Spartys team members can also create custom balloon bouquets and arrangements to suit your party theme and budget, with service fees dependent on the number of balloons and complexity of the arrangement.
Latex & Confetti Balloon Inflation Prices
Latex balloons at Spotlight are available in a huge array of colours. Choose from pastel tones, printed balloons, metallic latex balloons and jumbo latex balloons in 60 cm and 90 cm sizes. We also clear latex balloons that can be filled with your own choice of confetti, as well as gender reveal balloons for anyone anticipating a new arrival. Latex balloons can be inflated with helium and come complete with matching or contrasting ribbons of your choice. You can also opt to have your balloons inflated with air if you don't need them to float.

Balloon Inflation Kits & Tanks Hire
If you're looking to have a large number of balloons at your party or are organising an event at short notice, why not consider inflating your own balloons? Spotlight's ready-to-go helium tank kits and tank hire service allow you to inflate the balloons at home or the party venue, rather than figuring out how to transport them from the store.
Helium Tank Home Inflation Kits
Maximise the float time of your balloons with easy to use helium tanks & balloon kits. Helium Tank kits are available in all stores and include a lightweight and easy to use balloon tank. Simply bring this kit with you to your event location and inflate the balloons on site! Once the tank is empty it can be recycled by most local councils. We also have electric balloon pumps to take the hard work out of air filling your balloons

How do I place a balloon order at Spotlight?
To place your balloon order, head into your nearest store with an inflation station. Browse the range of balloons in store, where our Sparties team members can help you find the perfect balloons for your celebration. They’ll take down your specific order details and keep your balloons aside until they need to be inflated. Make sure you keep a copy of your order form for collection.
How far in advance should I place my balloon order?
We ask that large balloon orders (orders of 10 or more) are placed two weeks in advance to ensure that the store has enough helium and balloons to meet your requirements. With all balloon orders, please contact or visit your store in advance to make sure that they can accommodate your order, as some days (particularly Saturdays) book up quickly.
What is Hi-Float?
Hi-Float is a safe, non-toxic and biodegradable treatment that extends the floatation time of latex balloons. A thin layer is applied to the inside of the balloon, sealing up the naturally occurring pores in the latex to contain the helium for longer. Hi-Float is clear so it won’t change the colour of your balloons, and is also used with confetti balloons to adhere the confetti to the balloon’s surface.
How long do helium balloons last?
Latex balloons will stay inflated for around 10 hours, and foil balloons with helium will stay afloat for a few days to a week depending on the environment. If you need your latex balloons to float for longer, have them treated with Hi-Float to extend their inflation time to 24-48 hours.
What’s the best way to transport my balloons?
For your safety, balloons should always be contained in a net or bag when travelling. As a rule of thumb, about 50 inflated balloons (standard 28 cm latex balloons) will fit in the back of a family sedan. For larger orders, time your collection if you have to make more than one trip, or get a family member or friend to help you transport the extra balloons. Alternatively, you can purchase a Helium Tank Kit or balloon gas cylinder hire for inflation at home or the venue.
How should I store my balloons at home?
If you have collected inflated balloons ahead of your event, ensure that you safely store them at home to maximise their floatation time. This means keeping them in an environment with a stable temperature, as sudden increases in warmth or cold can cause balloons to expand out of shape. Remove the balloons from their bags as soon as you get home, as static build up from bags can cause balloons to pop.
Will my balloons be inflated if ordered through Click & Collect?
Balloons ordered online with home delivery or click & collect will not be inflated.
