You'll need to concern yourself with a few things:
Size of the area you want the confetti and Streamers in:
You’ll need to findout the dimensions of the area you want to spread over and your ceiling height.
Style of launchers: The confetti and streamers can be launched in a number of different ways. You can either throw it from the ceiling by hand, use Confetti blowers to “shoot” the confetti to your desired area or use Launchers to throw the confetti or streamers. The only one that works well if you’re launching streamers is the launchers not blowers.
Handheld Launcher versus Electric Automatic: This mostly depends on how many you need and how many streamers and/or confetti you want to launch. If you are covering a little area for example 40 feet wide and deep, you can use 2-4 32” handheld launchers to obtain a nice effect. Remember you will need 1 crewman to launch them at each spot they will be launched. They are very easy to use! Once they'reloaded, you pull the string trigger and away they go!
In a roomier area, or if you want to truss mount the launchers or if you can’t utilize handheld launchers due to sight lines or lack of manpower, the 110v AC launchers are the way to go. Our XC-2 Launcher is the same type of launcher that you see on nearly any concert, huge theatrical production pr professional application. The reason, they work all the time. They are compact. They are not heavy (25 lbs loaded) and they use e-Z to locate compressed air.
In short, for many Church, School and littler type events the 32” handheld launcher will do a marvelous job for you. For larger functions where you’ll need to cover more area or need to fire the launchers electrically, the XC-2 Launcher is the direction to go!
