Confetti Cannons
Confetti cannons are the quickest and most spectacular way to add a burst of colour and excitement to any celebration. A simple twist of the base launches a cascade of confetti high into the air, creating an unforgettable visual moment for weddings, birthdays, parties, corporate events, sports presentations, gender reveals and stage shows.
Confetti Supermarket’s premium handheld cannons are air-powered (compressed nitrogen), flame-retardant and safe to use when operated correctly. They come in three main sizes—small (around 30 cm, up to ~8 m), medium (around 50 cm, up to ~10 m) and large (around 80 cm, up to ~12 m)—so you can match the effect to your venue. Choose from biodegradable tissue confetti (indoors or out), metallic glitter (best indoors), water-soluble BioFetti (dry outdoor venues), BioGlitter biodegradable metallic, shaped confetti, streamers or custom colour mixes.
Every cannon can be custom-filled with the colours and type of confetti that best suit your theme or branding. With no minimum order, quantity discounts and free mainland UK delivery on orders over £100, it’s easy to order a single cannon for a personal celebration or bulk supplies for larger events. Ready-made multicolour, gender-reveal and themed options are also available for instant impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do confetti cannons work?
They contain a small cylinder of compressed nitrogen at the base. Twisting the bottom section releases the gas, which propels the confetti (or streamers) out of the top of the tube in a high, cascading burst. No electricity, flame or smoke is involved.
Are confetti cannons safe to use indoors?
Yes, when used correctly. They are air-powered and flame-retardant. Match the cannon size to your space, never point them directly at people or animals, and ensure there is enough clear height and distance for the confetti to disperse safely.
What types of confetti can be used in the cannons?
Options include biodegradable tissue confetti (widest colour range, indoors or outdoors), traditional metallic glitter (indoor sparkle), water-soluble BioFetti (outdoor dry conditions), BioGlitter biodegradable metallic (indoors or outdoors), shaped confetti and streamers. Custom colour mixes are available for all types.
What sizes are available and how far do they fire?
Three main sizes: small (approx. 30 cm, confetti up to ~8 m), medium (approx. 50 cm, up to ~10 m) and large (approx. 80 cm, up to ~12 m). Streamer-filled versions reach further (up to 15–25 m depending on size). Choose the size that suits the height and width of your venue.
