Types of Confetti Cannons
Eco and Biodegradable Confetti Cannons
Our biodegradable confetti cannons are made from rice paper, a material that dissolves completely on contact with water. That means no messy venue clean-up, no lasting environmental impact, and venue permission that standard confetti often cannot get. Available in white and multicolour, and just as spectacular as any other cannon in our range. If you need fully compostable, venue-approved confetti for an outdoor wedding or park event, these are your cannons. Not sure which eco option suits your venue? Read our guide on what to do when your venue won't allow confetti.
Metallic Confetti Cannons
Metallic confetti cannons deliver the big, flashy, photograph-worthy moment. The reflective slips catch every bit of light, whether you're in a garden ceremony at golden hour or a venue with dramatic lighting. Available in gold, silver, red, and multicolour. Metallic confetti does not dissolve like eco, so check with your venue for indoor events.
Paper Confetti Cannons
Classic shaped paper confetti in rectangles, hearts, and circles, across a wide range of individual colours and multicolour mixes. Paper confetti breaks down faster than metallic in outdoor settings and is the most widely venue-accepted type. Great for weddings, birthdays, graduations, and everything in between.
Holi Powder Smoke Cannons
A confetti cannon filled with fine coloured holi powder instead of confetti. Fire it and you get an instant cloud of colour, completely non-toxic, made from cornflour and food-grade dye, that washes off skin and fabric easily. These are the same cannons used in gender reveal parties, smoke reveals, colour runs, and festival events. Available in a range of colours.
Streamer Cannons
Metallic and paper streamers loaded into a 45cm cannon. Streamers arc further and flutter longer than standard confetti, making them ideal for outdoor venues with space. Great for the classic ticker-tape effect at sporting events and finish-line celebrations.
80cm Electric PowerShot Cannons
Our largest handheld cannon at 80cm, packed with metallic slips. A single push fires a high-volume blast suitable for professional-grade events. Perfect for large outdoor celebrations, concerts, or anyone who wants more impact than a standard handheld.
How to Choose the Right Confetti Cannon
Not sure which type is right for you? Here's a quick guide:
- Wedding ceremony (aisle exit): Eco or paper confetti. Biodegradable eco if your venue requires it, paper for maximum colour impact.
- Indoor venue: Eco biodegradable (dissolves in water for easy clean-up) or paper (biodegrades faster than metallic).
- Outdoor event, big impact: Metallic or streamer cannon for maximum visual effect.
- Gender reveal: Gender reveal powder cannon for an instantly recognisable cloud of pink or blue colour.
- Colour run or festival: Holi powder smoke cannon in your chosen colour.
- Large crowd or stage: 80cm Electric PowerShot for a bigger burst.
When in doubt, our multicolour paper or eco cannons are the most universally suitable option. All our handheld cannons are $29.95 and designed to work reliably first try.
Confetti Cannons for Weddings
Wedding confetti cannons are one of the most photographed moments of the day, and one of the easiest to get right. A good confetti cannon fires high, spreads wide, and gives the photographer a full second or two of colour in the air.
Our eco and biodegradable confetti cannons are popular with wedding photographers across Australia. The rice paper version is venue-safe for outdoor and garden ceremonies, while the metallic range creates the dramatic visual that stands out in photos and video. Many couples use four to six cannons shared between guests lining the aisle. Free express shipping applies on orders of four or more units.

Confetti Cannon FAQs
What is a confetti cannon?
A confetti cannon is a handheld pressurised tube filled with confetti, powder, or streamers. A simple twist or push of the base fires the contents up to 6 to 10 metres into the air. They're used at weddings, gender reveals, birthday parties, colour runs, and festivals. No batteries, no electricity. Just twist and fire.
Are confetti cannons safe?
Yes. Our confetti cannons use compressed CO2 and are non-explosive and safe for use around children and adults. The contents including confetti, rice paper, and holi powder are all non-toxic. Holi powder is made from cornflour and food-grade dye and washes off easily. Always point the cannon upward and away from faces, and avoid firing directly toward people in strong wind.
Can I take confetti cannons on a plane?
Confetti cannons contain a CO2 cartridge (classified DG2.2), which means they are not permitted in carry-on cabin luggage. They are permitted in checked luggage on most Australian airlines. Read our full guide on taking confetti cannons on a plane for airline-by-airline details before you travel.
Are your confetti cannons biodegradable?
It depends on the type. Our eco confetti cannons are made from rice paper, which dissolves completely in water. Our paper confetti cannons use tissue paper that breaks down within a week outdoors. Our metallic confetti cannons are not biodegradable and should be used at venues that allow them. Holi powder (in our smoke cannons) is made from cornflour and is 100% biodegradable. For a full breakdown, read our eco vs biodegradable confetti guide.
How many confetti cannons do I need for a wedding?
For a standard wedding aisle exit with 12 to 20 guests, most couples use 4 to 8 cannons spread between guests on both sides of the aisle. For a fuller effect, 8 to 12 cannons creates a true confetti moment. Check our eco biodegradable range for venue-safe options that photographers love.
Do confetti cannons work indoors?
Yes, with the right type. Our eco biodegradable cannons are the best choice indoors because the rice paper dissolves in water and clean-up is simple. Paper confetti is also fine for most indoor venues. Avoid metallic confetti indoors unless your venue has confirmed it is acceptable. Holi powder smoke cannons are not recommended for indoor use. Need help convincing your venue? Read our guide on venues that won't allow confetti.
What is the difference between a confetti cannon and a confetti popper?
Size and range. A confetti popper is a small, single-use tube about 15 to 20cm long that fires a small burst of confetti roughly 2 to 3 metres. A confetti cannon is a larger 45cm tube that fires a much higher volume of confetti 6 to 10 metres. Cannons are designed for outdoor events and photography moments. Poppers suit table celebrations or indoor party moments. We stock both.
