## Long description

Foil Balloon Arpex — Zoo Hippo (hippopotamus) party decoration is a shaped foil balloon by Arpex featuring a stylised hippopotamus design. Lightweight and inflatable with helium or air, it creates a themed accent for birthdays, baby showers, photo backdrops and other celebrations. The balloon can be tied to strings, weighted for floor or table displays, or attached to decorative arrangements to add a playful animal motif without occupying much space.
Advantages
The foil construction offers a glossy surface that holds helium longer than standard latex balloons, maintaining shape and print clarity. Its pre-shaped form provides instant visual impact with minimal assembly: simply inflate and secure. The product is reusable when carefully deflated and stored, enabling multiple uses for recurring events or photo props. Compatibility with both air and helium allows versatile placement—floating, mounted, or arranged on surfaces.
Suitable for
 Children's birthday parties with animal or zoo themes
 Baby showers and gender-neutral nursery decor
 Photo backdrops, party tables and gift corners
 Themed events, school activities, and retail displays
Key specifications
 Material: metallised foil (shiny surface)
 Design: hippopotamus silhouette with printed details
 Inflation method: suitable for helium or air inflation
 Usage: single-shaped decorative balloon for hanging or table display
 Storage: reusable when deflated and kept flat in a dry place
How to use
Inflate the foil balloon slowly using a hand pump, electric pump with an appropriate nozzle, or a helium tank. If using helium, tie securely to a weight or ribbon to control float position; if inflating with air, mount on sticks, tape to surfaces, or arrange on tables and backdrops. Avoid overinflation to prevent stress at the seams; stop when the balloon reaches full shape without excessive tension. After the event, release air carefully through the valve or seam and fold the deflated balloon flat for storage.
Usage recommendations
Keep the balloon away from sharp objects, open flames and extreme heat. For best appearance, inflate close to the event start time if using helium; check local indoor temperature to prevent contraction or expansion. When reusing, clean gently with a soft cloth to remove dust and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
