Balloon foil number 3 AMSCAN 86 cm satin pastel blue (model 9917335)

The AMSCAN foil balloon shaped as the number 3 in satin pastel blue is an 86 cm decorative balloon designed for parties, birthdays, anniversaries and photo backdrops. Made from metallic foil, the balloon is suitable for inflation with helium for floating displays or air for mounted decorations. The satin pastel blue finish offers a subdued metallic sheen that works well with a variety of colour schemes and event themes. The product is supplied pre-packaged to simplify setup and can be deflated and stored for reuse.

Advantages

The foil construction provides greater durability and longer float time compared with standard latex balloons. The large 86 cm size makes the number clearly visible in group arrangements and photo setups. Its satin pastel blue surface reduces glare while retaining a metallic look, creating an even, camera-friendly appearance. The balloon can be inflated with either helium or air, offering flexibility for both floating and fixed displays, and it can be deflated and reused when handled correctly.

Suitable for

• Birthday parties and milestone celebrations featuring the number 3
• Anniversary events and date displays
• Photo backdrops and studio or home photography
• Table or floor decorations when anchored or weighted

How to use

Remove the balloon from its packaging and unfold it carefully. Inflate slowly using a hand pump, electric pump with a suitable nozzle, or a helium cylinder following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. When inflating with helium, ensure the balloon is filled without overstretching seams; when using air, inflate until the shape is firm and maintain the nozzle or valve closed. Attach a weight or string if the balloon is filled with helium to prevent it from floating away. To deflate, insert a thin straw or nozzle into the self-sealing valve and press gently to release the gas, then fold and store in a cool, dry place.

Usage recommendations

Avoid sharp objects, extreme heat, and prolonged direct sunlight to extend the life of the foil balloon. Use appropriate weights or secure mounting points for helium-filled displays, and do not release foil balloons into the environment. For repeated use, clean gently with a soft cloth and store flat in a protective sleeve.
