Let Artistry In Motion, Inc.® assist you in selecting the appropriate confetti or streamer shape, size, color and material in order to create your desired effect. 

Artistry In Motion, Inc.® is the worldwide leader in the design and manufacturing of all types of confetti and streamers. Many of our unique confetti shapes have even been patented! We manufacture all of our confetti and streamer products at our factory in Van Nuys, California.

All of our products, unless otherwise noted, are flame resistant and are appropriate for use on a stage or in a theater. While we sell a significant amount of standard shapes, sizes and colors of both confetti and streamers, we frequently sell custom shapes, sizes and colors of all of our confetti and streamer products.

The first selection you need to make is to decide if you are interested in Confetti, Streamers, Specialty Confetti Products, or Party Supplies

Streamers are long, thin strips of material which are typically fired from one of our streamer cannons, either the Big Shots® Double Barrel Cannon, the Champaign Blast®, the Handheld Cannon, or the Disposable Handheld Cannon.  These cannons can be positioned well above an audience or stage, creating a “waterfall” effect with the streamers, or they can be positioned on the ground, creating a fountain effect.  Either way, streamers can be used to create a spectacular visual effect accenting a special moment in your show. When a quick and easy clean-up is required, streamers are a logical first choice.

Streamer Types

Artistry In Motion, Inc.® manufactures three distinct types of streamers: Single Rolled, Double Rolled, and Imprinted. Single Rolled Streamers, our basic product, are made of a single roll of streamer material wound tightly and packaged into one of our speed-load sleeves. Double Rolled Streamers are two streamers, typically one tissue streamer and one PVC streamer, rolled together and packaged into one of our speed-load sleeves. We also manufacture single rolled streamers that have been imprinted with our client's name or logo.

Streamer Sizes

Artistry In Motion, Inc.® manufactures standard size streamers using either 0.5" or 1" wide streamers 18 feet in length. While these standard sizes work extremely well for most uses, we do make custom width and length streamers for specific applications. Generally, larger venues require wider streamers to make the streamers more visible for the audience. If different lengths or widths of streamers are required to create a special effect in your venue, please make sure to give us a call to discuss your specific needs.

Streamer Accessories

Artistry In Motion, Inc.® sells a number of accessory products that aid in the effective use of our streamer products. These accessories include CO2 cartridges for our handheld cannons, pressure caps for all of our cannons, lifting cups, and tape.

We sell two types of CO2 cartridges, threaded and non-threaded. Our Reusable Handheld Cannon requires a 16 Gram threaded CO2 cartridge. Our Disposable Handheld Cannon uses a 12 gram non-threaded CO2 cartridge.

We highly recommend the use of our pressure caps for all cannons. We sell pressure caps for 1", 2" and 3" barrels. After confetti or streamers are loaded into a barrel, a pressure cap is taped to the end of the barrel using our black paper tape. The cap and tape create an airtight seal. When the cannon is fired, the pressure inside the barrel builds until the cap or tape bursts, releasing the confetti or streamers. The use of the pressure caps prevents the gas from blowing by the confetti or streamers and helps the load to be expelled completely and compactly. Additionally, the caps hold the product in the cannon barrel for ease of use and downward shots. Pressure Caps will help improve the effectiveness of any cannon system.

We also sell lifting cups for 2" and 3" barrels. Lifting cups are small paper devices that fully block the circumference of a barrel. They aid in transferring the energy from the escaping gas into the streamers, helping the streamers to gain additional height or distance from the cannon. If your objective is to maximize the height or distance the streamers are shot, then we recommend you use lifting cups.

Artistry In Motion, Inc.® sells black paper tape for use with our Pressure Caps and Cannons. The tape tears free easily to allow the streamers to achieve the desired projection and is easy to remove when readying the cannons for your next use.

Confetti is made up of small pieces of material ranging from 0.25" squares to large sheets of material dropped to create dramatic visual effects. Confetti is typically in the 1" to 3" size range; however, we have created confetti much larger and much smaller to fit our customer's requirements. Confetti effects can be created using any of our confetti cannons, including both the continuous flow cannons and the single shot cannons. Confetti can also be used by hand dropping it over a stage or audience, or by utilizing a "Snow Bag" or cradle drop. The choice of equipment used depends on the type of an effect you want to create, as well as the physical limitations of the space you are working in.

Confetti Shapes and Sizes

Artistry In Motion, Inc.® manufactures five distinct categories of confetti: Rectangles, Squares, Die Cut Shapes, Special Cuts, and Imprinted Confetti.  Rectangles are our most popular confetti shape.  Rectangles are popular because they float in the air longer than other shapes.  Our “standard” rectangle measures 0.75” x 2”.  These, and all other rectangles, stay in the air for long periods of time because, when they begin to fall, they go into a slow roll along their longitudinal axis.  In contrast, squares tend to tumble as they fall, darting about creating a very different feel as they descend.  White tissue .75 ” squares make an excellent snow effect when dropped from a snow bag or cradle drop over a theater stage.  The .75” size is just the right size to read as soft falling snow from the seats of a Broadway theater.  Die cut shapes each have their own special look and feel as they fall.  The larger sizes, leaves and bats, for example, are very realistic as they swirl through the air or are blown across a stage. Circles, on the other hand are symmetric and fall in a much more controlled fashion.  Artistry In Motion, Inc.® maintains a large selection of tooling to make die cut confetti.  If we don’t have the shape our customer requires, we can generally tool a new shape in 5 business days.  We manufacture other special cuts of confetti including; Twisters™, Rain, and 3-D Confetti™, which are all designed to mimic their names.

Imprinted Confetti

Artistry In Motion, Inc.® manufactures a variety of imprinted confetti. We are able to print on both tissue, and on metallic PVC. Imprinted confetti can be cut into rectangles, squares, or die cut shapes.  Corporate logos which are too complex to be die cut can always be created in imprinted confetti. The lead time for imprinted confetti varies from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the job.
