How to Inflate 160, 260 and 360 Twisting Balloons

Modified on Thu, 4 Jun at 10:34 AM

    Twisting balloons, also known as entertainer balloons are available in many different sizes. Bargain Balloons sells 160, 260, and 360 twisting balloons. The numbers refer to the balloon's diameter and length when fully inflated. Understanding how to properly inflate each balloon size is essential for easier twisting, better results, and reducing the risk of popping. 


For a step-by-step demonstration on how to properly inflate each balloon size and to learn which pump is recommended for 160, 260, and 360 balloons, please watch the instructional video linked below. 




Helpful Tips:

  • Pre-stretching the balloon can help improve airflow during inflation and make the process easier.
  • Always use the correct pump for the balloon size being inflated. Using the wrong pump can make the inflation process difficult and may damage the balloon.
  • Do not cover the air hole at the back of the balloon pump. This opening allows air to flow properly and helps the pump function correctly.
  • Avoid over-inflating the balloon. Leave the recommended amount of un-inflated tail to allow room for twisting.
  • Hold the balloon securely on the pump nozzle while inflating to prevent air from escaping.
  • Tie the balloon immediately after inflation to avoid air loss.
