What balloon helium costs: per cylinder and per balloon
Published
The price depends on the size and on whether it is a disposable cylinder or a refill for a rented one. Both tables below give the price per balloon.
What the price depends on
Three things: how much gas is in the cylinder, whether it is a disposable cylinder or a refill for a rented one, and how you receive it. The bigger the cylinder, the cheaper one balloon works out – for disposables and refills alike. All prices on the site are final, VAT included.
Disposable cylinders
| Cylinder size | Balloons 23 cm | Price | Per 23 cm balloon |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 l | ≈ 20 | 24,99 € | 1,25 € |
| 7 l | ≈ 30 | 32,99 € | 1,10 € |
| 13.5 l | ≈ 50 | 44,99 € | 0,90 € |
| 22 l | ≈ 90 | 79,99 € | 0,89 € |
A disposable cylinder is a ready kit with a nozzle; nothing to return, no refills. Delivery to a parcel locker is charged separately and shown before you confirm the order.
Refilling a refillable cylinder
| Cylinder size | Balloons 30 cm | Refill price | Per balloon |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 l | ≈ 280 | 217,80 € | 0,78 € |
| 40 l | ≈ 580 | 417,45 € | 0,72 € |
| 50 l | ≈ 710 | 477,95 € | 0,67 € |
The per-balloon figures in the two tables are not directly comparable: for disposables it is per 23 cm balloon, for refills per 30 cm balloon. A refill also comes with rental, delivery and a regulator.
