Foil Balloon "Birthday Dots" Black – 45 cm

Folat Foil Balloon "Birthday Dots" Black – 45 cm: the black-and-white polka-dot foil balloon is the minimalist eye-catcher for any birthday party. At 45 cm diameter (18 inches) large enough to float over the gift table or accent the front door as a bouquet — yet compact for any room. Fill with helium (floats) or air (attach to a stick or ceiling).

Folat is the Dutch party-supplies specialist — "We deliver smiles" for decades. Foil balloons are made of mylar-coated film, hold helium far longer than latex balloons (3–5 days vs. 12 hours typically) and are the smarter choice for photo backdrops and themed parties.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

How long does it float with helium?
At room temperature with careful filling, 3–5 days. Less in cold rooms or outdoors – helium contracts in the cold.

How do I inflate it?
Helium ideally at a florist, party shop or with helium tank from a kit. Self-sealing valve – no knot needed. Air inflation works too (a straw helps push past the valve), but it'll sit on the floor.

Can I reinflate it?
Foil balloons are usually single-use. Helium escapes through the foil's micro-pores. With air it can be reused but the valve eventually wears out.

Is it suitable for outdoors?
Yes, with care – not in direct sun (heat can pop it) and not in wind (tangles). Shaded terrace is ideal.

Which age / occasion?
Black-and-white dots are universal – men, women, kids, adults. Timeless classic style.

Tips & tricks

• Build a bouquet: 3 Folat Birthday-Dots foils + 5 black + 5 white latex balloons = perfect themed bouquet
• Photo backdrop: hang behind the birthday table – polka dots photograph very crisp
• Kids' party: as a welcome balloon at the front door – kids feel celebrated
• Gift tag alternative: use ribbons instead of a card – floats like a note
• Storage before party: store cool & dark, fill with helium just before the event

Care & storage

• Before filling: store dry and cool
• Inflation: don't over-inflate or the valve pops
• After use: release air, fold, store in a plastic bag. Reuse is possible
• Disposal: foil balloons NEVER release outdoors – always dispose in regular waste
