Paper confetti cannons give you all the celebration impact of confetti without the metallic sheen. The result is warm, natural, and photographs beautifully in natural light. Whether the occasion is a wedding, birthday, graduation, St Patrick's Day, or a regular Tuesday that deserves to feel special, this collection has a cannon to suit.
We stock paper confetti cannons in a wide range of fills: classic round confetti in every colour of the rainbow, paper slips, red rose petal confetti, and heart shaped paper confetti. All fills are paper based, which means they are lighter in flight, land softly, and break down naturally over time.
For outdoor events and venues with cleanup policies, our eco and water soluble options fire standard paper confetti that dissolves when wet. These are the cannons most venues approve without any issue. If you are unsure what your venue allows, check out our guide to wedding venue confetti rules.
Each cannon is handheld, standalone, and fires with a single pull of the tab. No pumps, no CO2 canisters, no preparation needed. Point, pull, and celebrate.
Gender reveal versions with pink and blue paper confetti, and combo confetti plus smoke versions, are also part of this collection for customers who want a paper fill as part of their reveal moment.
Common Questions About Paper Confetti Cannons
What makes paper confetti different from metallic?
Paper confetti is made from thin tissue weight paper. It is lighter, slower to fall, and gives a softer and more natural look. Metallic confetti is made from foil and catches light more dramatically but is not biodegradable.
Are paper confetti cannons biodegradable?
Standard paper confetti breaks down naturally over time. Our eco range is water soluble and designed to dissolve on contact with water, making it suitable for outdoor and venue use where cleanup matters.
How far does a paper confetti cannon fire?
Most of our 45cm paper confetti cannons have a range of 5 to 8 metres. Smaller poppers have a shorter range of 2 to 4 metres. Paper confetti typically spreads wider than metallic because it is lighter and catches air easily.
Can I use paper confetti cannons indoors?
Yes. Paper confetti cannons are well suited to indoor use. Paper sweeps up easily, does not stick to surfaces the way metallic confetti can, and produces no odour or residue.
Are paper confetti cannons suitable for weddings?
Yes. Many wedding venues specifically allow eco or paper confetti because of their low cleanup impact. White paper slips and round confetti options are popular choices for ceremonies and exit shots. See our wedding collection for curated options.
Do you sell shaped paper confetti cannons?
Yes. We stock heart shaped paper confetti and round confetti in a wide range of colours. These are popular for themed events and photograph well in overhead and wide angle shots.
