At Koch & Co, we are wholesale helium balloon suppliers, which means that we import our balloons and accessories independently. This enables us to ensure that all our balloon products are made from only the highest quality materials. Importing them directly also means we can pass on the savings to our customers, with further discounts available for helium balloon bulk purchases. If you’re taking a DIY approach, these savings can still apply as you may be eligible for bulk discounts if you purchase as few as two packs of balloons.
At Koch & Co, we stock premium, foil helium number balloons in classic colours. These balloons conveniently self seal, and as such, do not require heat sealing. For a more specific display, match your number balloons with our range of letter balloons. These balloons feature every letter from A-Z so you can get creative with your event displays. When considering letter and number combinations, you can opt to keep it traditional, with a ‘Sweet 16’, or you can be as specific as you please. Spell out your business name, your new shared last name, or spell out the birthday person’s name and age for the world to see.

All balloons can be filled with helium, but not all of them will float. To be lighter than the air around them, any balloon needs to contain a certain amount of helium. The more helium, the greater the float, but the heavier the balloon itself is, the more mass there is to float.
At Koch & Co, we are helium balloon wholesale suppliers, and as such, stock an extensive range of latex balloons (both standard and helium-grade varieties), as well as foil and bubble balloons. Across these varieties, all of which are compatible with our helium tank kits, you’ll find a massive range of colours and shapes, with something to suit every occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a new baby, a milestone birthday, or an anniversary, we have balloons to suit your event.
Our extensive range covers four key types of balloons:
Inflating balloons with helium can seem complicated, but with the right set up, you can establish a good rhythm, and get your balloons inflated in no time. Know that balloons that have been designed to be filled with helium tend to inflate quickly, so make sure you have all the steps clear in your mind before commencing.
A balloon arch may look gravity-defying, like balloons floating together in formation but rather than being filled with helium, these arches are usually built around a metal arch or backdrop frame. The frame is the skeleton, and the air-inflated balloons are arranged on a string or garland that is secured to the frame.
A balloon garland is a balloon arrangement anchored to a frame. The clustered balloons often have the effect of floating, but are usually filled with air, and are not helium filled balloons. We recommend using a balloon air pump, which will help you to inflate your balloon clusters quickly and quietly. Furthermore, balloon garlands can require a great number of balloons. Koch & Co’s balloon garland kits contain 120 pieces each so an air pump can make a big difference.
Different materials of balloons will contain helium for different periods of time, and this, combined with the size and shape of the balloon will also affect the length of time they will float. Please see the information below for a general guide:
Though your balloons deflating is inevitable, there are some things you can do to slow the deflation process, and some factors you can avoid that accelerate the deflation process, too. One of the key moves you can make when filling balloons with helium is deciding when you are going to inflate them. Based on your balloon material type and size, you should have an estimate on their float time, so time this to overlap with the duration of your event.
Helium filled balloons can be reused (reinflated) - assuming the balloon itself is still intact. To ascertain whether your balloon has any tears in it, inflate your balloon and listen quietly for the sound of escaping air.
Latex balloons begin deteriorating very quickly after initial use, especially if they’ve been exposed to sunlight. This can make unknotting and refilling a latex balloon without tearing quite tricky, and may take some practice.
