subject: Streamers [print this page] Streamers are things shoot out of streamer cannons. They are long and thin. The different types of streamer cannons at ones disposal are disposable handheld cannon and handheld cannon. One can place the cannon at different places to get the desired effect. The waterfall effect is obtained by placing the cannon on top, while the fountain effect is obtained by placing the cannon below.
There are three types of streamers imprinted, double rolled and single rolled. Single rolled is the basic type. Imprinted means printing names, pictures or a combination of both. In the case of Double rolled you have two single rolled one rolled together. Both the single rolled ones are made from different materials.
The usual width in streamers come is 1 or 0.5 and the usual length is approximately 18 feet. One can get them in customized length and width. The reason why this option is available is because no two venues are the same. Tissue and PVC are the materials used to them. Approximately 90% the tissue material used to make them is from recycled material. The different types of PVC are Day Glo PVC, Metallic PVC, and non-Metallic PVC. Most of the materials used to make them are made fire resistant.
In order for these cannons to work properly, you must have the following accessories CO2 cartridges, lifting cups, black tape, and pressure cups. There are two types of CO2 cartridges like non-threaded and threaded.
Lifting cups are mainly to ensure that the energy released with the escaping CO2 is fully transferred to the streamer. The lifting caps also ensure that they travel to the maximum extent possible. This means both in terms of distance and height. Pressure caps are used to make sure that the streamer comes out fully and intact.
