✅ Always follow the instructions for setup and use.

✅ Keep all devices out of reach of children. Disposable handhelds can be used by adults only.

✅ Maintain a safe firing distance from guests, performers, and crew (minimum 15 ft for small handhelds, 25–50 ft for professional cannons).

✅ Never point a cannon directly at people, animals, or fragile objects.

✅ Only use indoors if the confetti/streamers are venue-approved (fire resistant and eco-safe).

✅ Designate a trained operator for professional cannons.

✅ Streamers travel farther than confetti — expect reaches of 50–75 ft.

✅ Aim carefully to avoid lighting rigs, trusses, or instruments.

✅ Best for venues with high ceilings or outdoor environments where drift isn’t an issue.

✅ Keep audience members clear of the launch trajectory.

1. Store cannons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2. Keep CO₂ cartridges and tanks secured upright and in well-ventilated areas.
3. Avoid exposing confetti to moisture or compression — it should stay crisp for best flight.
4. Transport professional units in padded cases to protect barrels and fittings.

• Use dual cannons at opposite angles for larger visual impact — but keep firing zones clear.
  
  
• Time bursts with music drops, stage cues, or entrances for maximum wow factor.
  
  
• Mix confetti with streamers for depth: tissue floats slowly while streamers create dramatic streaks.
  
  
• For weddings and indoor spaces, stick to biodegradable tissue for photo-perfect and venue-friendly results.
