Maine Balloons

Outdoor advertising that goes up in an hour and comes down in fifteen minutes.

How it works

We size the balloon to the site rather than the photograph. That usually means asking about the wind, the anchor points and what is overhead.

Fuel stations and truck stops

Highway sites are chosen at speed and from distance. A balloon adds a second landmark above the price sign, which is often what is actually seen first.

Gyms and fitness studios

January is the whole year for a gym. A balloon during the first three weeks catches people who have decided to join something but not yet decided where.

Attractions and theme parks

Attractions advertise arrival as much as anything else. A large inflatable at the entrance is the photograph people take before they have bought a ticket.

Questions we get

How much helium does it take?

A ten-foot blimp takes about 105 cubic feet. A twenty-five-foot one takes about 440. Helium is bought locally rather than shipped with the balloon.

What happens in wind?

Every balloon has a wind rating and it should be respected. In consistently windy places a smaller balloon that stays up all weekend beats a larger one that does not.

Can you print our artwork?

Yes. Send vector artwork if you have it. We proof the layout on the balloon shape before anything is printed.

What it costs

Every price below is current for 2026. Plain means the balloon on its own; printed means your artwork on it. There is no quote form standing between you and the number.

What we build

• Advertising blimps — Helium blimps from 10 to 30 feet, flown on a tether above the building. Visible from roads that cannot see your sign.
• Cold-air inflatables — Ground-standing shapes, characters and product replicas, run on a quiet blower. No helium.
• Round balloons — The classic sales-event balloon, 4.5 to 14 feet across. The cheapest way into outdoor advertising.

Local

Maine Balloons work in Maine

Most of our Maine promotions run around Portland and Bangor, and along I-95 where the traffic already is. The Fryeburg Fair is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.

A short, excellent season from May to October. Coastal wind and a long winter define the rest of the calendar.
