We make balloons and party poppers on the same site, which is why a mixed container of both ships on one set of documents. Stock poppers from 50 pcs, your own print from 5,000 pcs.
The buyers are not consumers. They are party-goods wholesalers filling a spring or New Year programme, event companies who need 2,000 cannons for one activation, promotional agencies putting a brand on a popper, and retailers who want the popper on the shelf next to the balloons.
That matters for how the product is built. A wholesaler cares about carton count and a warning label that survives the trip. An event company cares that the cannon fires on the first pull, every time. A promotional buyer cares that the logo is centred and the colours match the brand. We quote differently for each, because the specs are not the same.
Twist the base and the confetti fires. The cheapest format and the one most wholesalers stock.
A cord is pulled from the side, which lets the popper be fired from a table or a hand at arm's length.
Push the button; compressed air does the work. Reusable mechanism, no pyrotechnic element.
The event format — bigger payload, longer throw, usually fired from a tube on the floor.
Filling is where buyers differentiate: tissue paper confetti for volume at low cost, metallic foil for the sparkle that photographs well, and sequin or streamer mixes for a longer visual moment. We can also load a mix per your ratio.
| Format | Length | Filling | Throw distance* | Pcs / carton* | MOQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PP-20 twist | 20 cm | Tissue paper | 3-4 m | 500 | 50 pcs |
| PP-30 twist / pull | 30 cm | Tissue or foil | 4-6 m | 400 | 50 pcs |
| PP-40 pull | 40 cm | Foil + streamer | 6-8 m | 300 | 50 pcs |
| PP-60 cannon | 60 cm | Foil mix | 8-10 m | 150 | 50 pcs |
| Custom print | 20-60 cm | Your mix | by format | 150-500 | 5,000 pcs |
* Throw distance and carton count are typical industry ranges for this format, not a guaranteed spec. Ask for the confirmed sheet for the model you are ordering.
The tube is printed before it is rolled, so the artwork has to be supplied as a flat layout rather than wrapped around a finished cylinder. Send AI, PDF or CDR; if you only have a logo on a business card, we redraw it.
Stock poppers carry our own seasonal designs and ship from 50 pcs per style. Your own artwork starts at 5,000 pcs per design, because the print run has to justify the setup. A printed proof comes first — about 7-10 days including the physical sample — then production runs 15-20 days after you approve it.
End caps are a separate decision and the one buyers forget. Four end-cap colours cover most seasonal programmes, and a matching cap is what makes a mixed carton look like one range rather than four products.
Confetti is paper, metallised film or sequins — never loose metal powder, which is what shows up in the cheap product that gets stopped at customs. Film thickness and the coating on metallised confetti are checked on arrival, the same way we check balloon film.
For the EU the relevant tests are EN 71-2 (flammability) and EN 71-3 (migration of elements) if the product is presented as a toy; for the US, CPSIA tracking and a CPC drawn up on our test data. Age warnings, the importer's details and the recycling mark are printed on the tube or the card, not stickered afterwards.
Two practical warnings we print on every retail card: do not aim at the face or eyes, and do not fire indoors near candles. Both are the sort of line that prevents a complaint turning into a claim.
This is the reason buyers come to us rather than to a balloon supplier plus a popper supplier. One purchase order, one colour palette, one carton specification, one container, one set of export documents. Most balloon-only suppliers will quote the balloons and then send you to a second factory for the poppers — and the two will not match.
Three sets we quote most often:
Birthday set — 18 in number balloons for the age, two 30 cm hand-twist poppers in the same palette, matching end caps, packed as one retail-ready polybag with a header card.
Gender reveal set — a 36 in foil balloon plus two poppers loaded with pink and blue tissue confetti, so the reveal works whether it is a pull or a twist.
Holiday set — a stock seasonal balloon design (Christmas, New Year, Halloween) with gold or silver metallic poppers in a matched carton, ready for a supermarket end-cap.
Because both products are made on the same site, a set does not need a third party to assemble it, and a reorder reproduces the same colours rather than approximating them.
| Option | What it is | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk | 50 or 100 pcs per bundle, poly bag inside a carton | Wholesalers who repack themselves |
| Retail-ready | Single popper on a printed blister card with a euro hook and a barcode | Supermarkets, party shops, Amazon |
| Set pack | Balloon + poppers in one polybag with a header card | Seasonal gift and party sets |
| Display carton | Counter display with a tear-off front, 24-48 pcs | Convenience stores, impulse buyers |
Cartons are sized for pallets rather than for couriers, and the barcode is applied at the line so nothing has to be reworked in a warehouse.
Four things you can check before ordering, rather than adjectives:
We have been manufacturing in Chaozhou since 2017, with 10 production lines and about 200,000 pieces a day across balloons and poppers.
Balloons and poppers are made on the same site, so a mixed container is one order, one set of documents and one colour match.
Stock runs from 50 pcs per style; custom printing from 5,000 pcs per design.
Test reports are issued per material batch, and SGS, BV or your own agent can inspect during production.
