Mass balloon release at SSVM World School, Coimbatore, India

We have recently organised a mass balloon release at SSVM World School , Coimbatore , India on their Sports Day, one of its kind and hitherto unheard of in our country! We do not find words to describe how much the children enjoyed this unique event in brilliant sun shine on the school ground.

Mass balloon releases are fun to watch and are great for making kids happy. Mass balloon releases are a fun, unique expression to showcase the start of an event , a means to highlight a message or an exciting focal point to an event. These are a few reasons why SSVM World School , Coimbatore  , India chose to release balloons on their sports day . While doing so , this great school had taken every effort to inspect and check  whether we followed all rules on mass balloon releases, though its NOT YET a law in our country. And here was how we,at bubbly balloons, followed the school's guidelines religiously: 

1)      We strictly followed all rules on Mass Balloon Releases: we released only latex balloons made of natural rubber, that are 100% bio degradable. All our balloons were self-tied. We took care not to use any attachments, like threads, ribbons to the balloons, that are not bio degradable.
2)       In case of mass balloon releases, the released balloons should be hand-tied,  knotted and contained inside a bag or net before being released en mass. We are the only one in India to own and use  specially made  balloon nets for balloon release.  
3)      We never release foil balloons. Foil balloons are made of a thin , continuous film of metal over nylon and hence they are not bio-degradable. Furthermore, any foil balloon's surface can conduct electricity
4)      We always use Helium to make the balloons float. We never use Hydrogen gas to fill the balloons  as Hydrogen  is highly dangerous as it could burn and cause explosions. Hydrogen is a flammable gas. On the other hand , Helium is a colourless, odorless and tasteless non poisonous, non-flammable, non-toxic naturally occurring and environment friendly gas, that often used to fill balloons to make them fly.  It is also called a noble gas. Hydrogen gas should not be used to make the balloons float  as Hydrogen Gas is very flammable and could cause explosions and hence is very very dangerous. Many in India  use Hydrogen Gas in balloons  as it costs very less. Hydrogen is abundant on Earth and hence cheaper whereas Helium is rare on earth and hence is very very expensive. Use of Hydrogen gas to make the balloons float is so unnecessary and will have serious repercussions.  We hardly need to point out that when it comes to keeping the kids safe,  SSVM school, one of the very best schools in Coimbatore, India, always leads by example and takes extra precautions!  
5)      We carry Conwin’s USA Made Dual speed, Certified Helium regulators to complete the inflation in time.
6)      In short we also have all the right equipment for mass balloon releases and follow the rules!

Can a good balloon decoration cost you less?

A customer had approached us for a balloon decoration to celebrate a New born baby boy and he had chosen one of our decoration images. After we quoted our rates, the customer did not confirm the job. 

Later after a week, a local balloon decorator approached us for the "deco bubble balloons" used in the floating arch in the image. He was carrying our image without knowing it belonged to us. He did not even know the name of the product and was asking for 'big white balloons' while the product is known as 'deco bubbles'. 

This enquiry was again for a ' new born baby boy' celebration at the same venue and on the same date!! so we understood that the same customer had approached this decorator. 


First of all this decorator  did not know the name of the product. 

Secondly many decorators do not  even know how to use deco bubbles and modelling balloons . 

Thirdly, these deco bubbles need Helium. This decorator claims that he has Helium suppliers in town who can inflate balloons with Helium. Its a lie. No one else, except us,  uses Helium in balloons, as far as we know. Many in India , use the flammable and explosive Hydrogen gas, to make the balloons float. They illegally use Hydrogen as it costs 1/20th of the cost of Helium!

Fourthly, coming back to the cost part, in the image we have used 8 deco bubbles that costs Rs200 per balloon for the floating arch. Then we have used 10” white, 5” white, 12” polka dot printed balloons , Light Blue modelling balloons ( that comes in 100s bag and costs over Rs450) , white modelling balloons( that again comes in 100s bag and costs Rs450) , Crescent moon foil balloon  ( that costs Rs250 each) , Yep its a boy foil balloon ( Rs175) and a super shape baby foil balloon that costs Rs250 each . 

So we hardly need to point out that its impossible to create  a visually stunning decoration with balloons, at a lesser cost.
