## Why Use 36" Latex Balloons?

- **Maximum visual impact:** At three feet in diameter when inflated, a single 36" balloon commands a room
- **Fewer balloons needed:** One or two jumbo balloons can replace an entire cluster of smaller balloons for an equally dramatic effect
- **Column toppers:** The most popular use — place a 36" balloon atop a balloon column for an elegant, festive finish
- **Ceiling décor:** Float 36" helium-filled balloons from the ceiling to create a dramatic overhead balloon display
- **Photo backdrops:** Large balloons create an impactful background for event photography

## Helium Requirements

- A 36" latex balloon requires approximately **15.00 cubic feet of helium**
- Float time will vary based on balloon brand, temperature, and humidity conditions
- Always use a heavy-duty balloon weight when tethering a 36" helium-filled balloon

## Air-Filled Applications

36" balloons can also be used air-filled for:
- Column toppers (placed on a metal pole/base plate at the top of a balloon column)
- Balloon installations and organic balloon walls (glued in place)
- Table or floor display as a statement balloon

Air-filled 36" latex balloons will hold their shape for several days to over a week.
