121days

until Christmas

Shop windows and shopping streets are dressed from mid-November. Delivery usually takes 2-5 working days, so book in autumn and you are ready on 1 December: and the year after that, with the same set.

Planning

From decision to 1 December

December decoration is decided in autumn, not in December. This is what an unhurried plan looks like.

Aug – Oct

Choose and Compose

Decide where the decoration goes: entrance, window, walking route, hall. Compose the colours from 27 PMS colours. The 3D configurator shows the combination straight away. Then request a proposal; your partner thinks along about quantities and layout.

November

Delivery and One Trial Build

Delivery usually takes 2-5 working days. Build the set-up once as a trial, a column stands in about 30 minutes. After that your team knows exactly how it works and how much space you need. Back in the box until the moment arrives.

1 December

Six Weeks on Display

From 1 December until after New Year everything stays exactly as you put it up. No topping up, no replacements, no helium tank running out halfway. After the holidays it is stored compactly again: ready for next year, or for the next event in other colours.

Colours

Four Christmas palettes from 27 PMS colours

All colours are PMS-defined, so they match your house style. A different look next year? You swap the balls, not the frame.

Classic Christmas

Red against dark green reads from a distance. The safest choice for a window on a busy street or a decoration above the shopping street.

Red 485 C · Dark green 3435 C · Gold 871 C · White

Warm Gold

Festive without Christmas colours. Works in hotel lobbies, boutiques and for brands that want to keep the same restrained look in December.

Gold 871 C · Champagne 7506 C · White · Black

Winter Blue

Ice and snow instead of Santa. A winter palette runs well into January, so your decoration is not suddenly out of date on 26 December.

Blue 288 C · Ice blue 290 C · Silver 877 C · White

Bordeaux & Pine

The grown-up version of classic Christmas. Deep tones that work well in restaurants, halls and under evening light.

Bordeaux 229 C · Dark green 3435 C · Champagne 7506 C · Gold 871 C

Benefits

Why Reusable Christmas Decorations?

Four reasons that last the whole of December. Pick one to see it in full.

Christmas decorations in a shop window staying perfect for the whole of December SIX WEEKS

Six Weeks Up, Zero Refills

Christmas decorations stay up longer than for any other occasion: from late November to after New Year is easily six weeks. A latex balloon filled with helium is visibly softer within 12 to 24 hours, and in frost the gas shrinks faster still. PilaMania balls are made of PVC and hold their shape and colour for the whole period, without anyone having to touch them.

Outdoors Stays Standing, Frost and All

Outdoors, December is the harshest season: frost, wet snow and wind along the facade. The PVC balls are UV-resistant and hold their shape between −20 °C and +60 °C. A pillar on an X-base also stays put where loose balloons blow away.

Up in 30 Minutes, in the Busiest Month

Your own team puts the setup in place in half an hour, without tools and without a helium tank. Setting it up once covers the whole of December, so no replacement rounds eat into the weeks when staff are already stretched.

After New Year the set folds flat into its box and comes out undamaged the following year. The same frames go up for carnival in February, for an opening in spring and for a street fair in summer. Only the colours change.

The sum

Six weeks of Christmas: disposable or reusable?

Christmas is not a day but a period. That is exactly where disposable decoration falls apart.

Disposable decoration

Bought again every year, and replaced several times within December.

  • Latex balloons with helium: visibly limp after 12-24 hours
  • Six weeks of decoration means several replacement rounds
  • Helium shrinks in frost, barely usable outdoors
  • Every replacement costs staff time in the busiest month
  • Next year the whole outlay starts again
  • Colours vary per order. Branches look different from each other.
  • After the holidays: waste

The PilaMania system

One investment that lasts the whole of December, and the Decembers after that.

  • A one-off from €297 for a balloon column
  • Six weeks standing without a single top-up
  • Weatherproof from −20 °C to +60 °C, outdoors too
  • 30 minutes to build, and then no further attention
  • 50+ reuse cycles and a 5-year warranty
  • PMS colours: every branch exactly the same look
  • Stored compactly after the holidays, zero waste

From shopping street to staff party

Who puts up a PilaMania in December?

December is the same puzzle for very different parties: it has to stand for weeks, it has to look professional, and nobody has time to maintain it.

Retailers

Six weeks of window, one build

The window changes around mid-November and stays until after New Year. That is exactly the period in which latex balloons need replacing three or four times. In the month when your staff are busiest.

Shopping street & town-centre management

One street, one image

Individual retailers each hanging something different makes for a messy street. One shared colour scheme (garlands above the street, columns at the side entrances) turns the whole shopping street into a single set.

Hospitality & hotels

Three dinners in one day

In December, venues sometimes run three parties back to back. Decoration that simply stays put between two groups saves half a day of resetting each time, and looks the same for the last group as for the first.

Companies

Christmas drinks without a decoration budget

Hiring decoration for one evening is money that returns every year. Your own set is a one-off, stands in your brand colours, and comes back at the summer barbecue, the opening of a new branch and the company anniversary.

Schools

Christmas gala and the rest of the year

A Christmas gala or market is often built by the pupils themselves. That works here: no helium tank, no tools. And the same frames are back in June, with different balls, at the graduation ceremony.

At home

Outdoors, and it stays put

A column beside the front door or in the front garden has a hard time in December: frost, wet snow and wind. PVC balls on a frame do not care: and after the holidays they go up to the attic, compactly.

How do you choose Christmas decoration that lasts six weeks?

Why does ordinary balloon decoration not survive the Christmas period?

Christmas decoration hangs longer than for any other celebration: from late November until after New Year is easily six weeks. A latex balloon with helium is visibly limper within 12 to 24 hours, and in frost the gas shrinks faster still. Anyone working with disposable balloons in December is not busy once but again and again. In exactly the weeks when staff are already stretched. PilaMania balloons are PVC and are clipped mechanically onto a frame. There is no gas that can escape, so the set-up you put up on 1 December still looks the same on 6 January.

Outdoor Christmas decoration: what should you look out for?

Outdoors, December is the harshest season: frost, wet snow, wind along the façade and little daylight. Three things decide whether decoration survives. First the material. PVC balls are UV-resistant and hold their shape between −20 °C and +60 °C. Second the fixing: a column on an X-foot stays put where loose balloons blow away. Third the colour choice: in low daylight, high contrast (red against dark green, or gold against black) reads far better than pastels. For the shopping street the same principle applies at a larger scale: a continuous garland or a row of columns makes the whole street one whole.

Which colours do you choose for Christmas?

Red and green is the classic and works for a reason: the contrast is high, everyone recognises it instantly, and it reads from far away. But not every brand wants to let go of its house style in December. Gold with champagne or white carries the same festive charge without Christmas codes: common in hotels, boutiques and at corporate receptions. A winter palette in blue, ice blue and silver has one more practical advantage: it is not suddenly out of date on 27 December, so your decoration runs well into January. All 27 PilaMania colours are PMS-defined, so you can lay them beside your brand guide and match exactly.

Reusable Christmas decoration versus buying again every year

The sum works out better for Christmas than for any other theme, precisely because the period is so long. Disposable decoration is bought not once per December but several times, and the year after the whole outlay starts again. A balloon column costs a one-off from €297 and lasts 50+ reuse cycles, with a 5-year warranty on the frame. More importantly: the same frame is not only for Christmas. In February it stands in carnival colours, in spring at an opening, in summer at a street fair. You replace the balls, not the system. For retail chains there is one more thing: PMS colours mean every branch looks exactly the same, even when the orders are years apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Christmas decoration

Yes. There is no helium in our balloons. They are clipped mechanically onto the frame, so no gas can escape. A set-up you put up on 1 December still stands the same after New Year. No topping up or replacing needed.

Yes. The PVC balls are UV-resistant and weatherproof from −20 °C to +60 °C. Frost, wet snow and rain are no problem, and the colours do not fade. Put the X-foot on a level surface; at a windy location you can add extra weight to the base.

Count back from the moment the decoration has to stand. For most shops that is around 1 December. Delivery usually takes 2-5 working days. Booking in autumn leaves room for one trial build and a look at how the set-up sits in the space. From November it gets tight, because November and December are the busiest decoration months of the year.

Yes, the system is designed for it. A balloon column stands in about 30 minutes, a cluster in a quarter of an hour. No helium tank, no specialist tools, no external decorator. A manual is included and there is an instruction video. Do one trial build in November and your team knows exactly what it is doing in December.

That is the whole idea. After the holidays you take the balls off the frame and both go into the box compactly. Next year you set it up again, or you order only different balls for a new look on the same frame. The system is designed for 50+ reuse cycles, with a 5-year warranty.

Yes. There are 27 PMS colours available. PMS is the international colour standard used by virtually every brand manual, so you can lay the code from your brand guide beside our colour card. Many brands choose gold, champagne or silver in December instead of Christmas colours: festive, but within their own look. The 3D configurator shows your combination straight away.

Yes, and that is where the benefit of reuse shows most. A retail association or centre management invests once in the street decoration and hangs it again every year: in the same colours or, with different balls, in new ones. Storage is compact enough for a municipal or shared storeroom. Submit a request with a description of the street or centre and the partner in your region will think along about quantities and layout.

The balls are sturdy PVC and 100% latex-free, so there is no risk of a latex allergy and they do not pop like an inflated balloon. They are fixed to the frame and leave no loose pieces. Keep open flame (candles, fire baskets, decorative fireplaces) at a distance, as with all decoration.
