How to inflate and deflate a foil balloon for reuse?

Many times our customer is asking us. How can we inflate the foil balloon? Can I reuse the foil balloons for my next party?

Steps to inflate the foil balloon.

Insert a drinking straw into the opening of the Mylar/foil balloon where you can see the colored plastic slip.  The straw must go in between the two slips of colored plastic.(not too deep though, just 3 to 4 cm will do). Hold the sleeves tight and start blowing into the other end of the straw.

Note: Inflate the balloon about 90% full and do not over inflate as it will burst the balloon.

Steps to deflate the foil balloon.

Insert a drinking straw into the opening of the Mylar/foil balloon where you can see the colored plastic slip.  The straw must go in between the two slips of colored plastic. Carefully roll and push gently on the straw until you hear a hissing sound.

Slowly squeeze the Mylar balloon until you feel air being released through the straw. If air is not being released, you have not inserted the straw far enough. Slowly fold the balloon until all the air is removed.Once the balloon is completely deflated simply fold and store it in a convenient location for reuse.
