Frequently Asked Questions
How much do advertising balloons and blimps cost?
Factory-direct pricing runs from $301 for a 4.5 ft helium sphere to $6,772 for a 30 ft blimp. Our most popular size, the 13 ft blimp, is $975. Custom lettering and banners are available for every size.
How much helium does an advertising blimp need?
Our 13 ft polyurethane blimp fills with just 170 cubic feet of helium. A 10 ft blimp needs 105 cu ft and a 7 ft sphere needs 180 cu ft. Because polyurethane loses only about 1% of its helium per day, you top off occasionally instead of refilling constantly.
What is the difference between polyurethane and PVC balloons?
Polyurethane costs about 8 times more than PVC as a raw material, but it is far lighter and stronger. It loses roughly 1% of its helium per day compared to about 3% for PVC, and a 13 ft polyurethane blimp outperforms a 20 ft PVC blimp in the air.
What is a rooftop advertising balloon?
A rooftop balloon is a cold-air advertising inflatable that sits on your roof and stays inflated with a continuous electric fan. It uses no helium at all and can run day and night for the cost of the electricity.
How far away can an advertising balloon be seen?
A 7 to 10 ft helium sphere can be seen from over a mile away depending on terrain. Blimps flown at altitude are visible from similar distances or farther.
How long does a custom order take?
Custom orders ship 2 to 4 weeks from artwork approval. Every order begins with a free art mockup so you can approve the design before production.
