The Incredible Science Behind Confetti, Streamers and Launchers!

Electric or personal handheld Launcher ?

Using Confetti and Streamers might be a soo scary if you’ve never had the opportunity to use them before. Don’t worry, it’s usually very simple.

You'll need to remember a few things:

Dimensions of the vicinity you want the confetti and Streamers in:

You’ll need to identify the dimensions of the area you want to cover and your ceiling height.

Version of launchers: The confetti and streamers can be fired in a few of different ways. You can either throw it from the ceiling by hand, use Confetti blowers to “project” the confetti to your designated area or use Launchers to throw the confetti or streamers. The only one that works well if you’re launching streamers is the launchers not blowers.

Handheld Launcher versus Electric Automatic: This actually depends on how many you need and how many streamers and/or confetti you want to launch. If you are spreading over a small area for example 40 feet wide and deep, you can use 2-4 32” handheld launchers to receive a nice effect. Remember you will need 1 person  to launch them at each position they will be launched. They are very e-Z to use! Once they'reloaded, you tugg the string trigger and away they go!

In a larger area, or if you want to truss mount the launchers or if you can’t use handheld launchers due to sight lines or lack of manpower, the electric launchers are the way to go. Our XC-2 Launcher is the same type of launcher that you see on almost any concert, huge theatrical production pr pro application. The reason, they work all the time. They are compact. They are light (25 lbs loaded) and they use simple to locate compressed air.

Briefly, for many Church, School and more small-scale type special occasions the 32” handheld launcher will do a marvelous job for you. For larger special Events where you’ll need to handle more area or need to shoot the launchers electrically, the XC-2 Launcher is the path to go!
