Red Mylar Flutter Confetti – Fire Resistant – 5cm x 2cm Rectangles – 1kg

Create massive, highly reflective event moments with Red Mylar Flutter Confetti, supplied in a professional 1kg bulk bag and cut into approximately 5cm x 2cm rectangular pieces for excellent launch, flutter and visual coverage.

Designed for professional live events and special effects applications, this shiny metallic-look Mylar confetti catches stage, arena and television lighting as it moves through the air, creating a bright red reflective effect that is particularly effective across:

• Concerts
• Festivals
• Arenas
• Stadiums
• Sporting events
• Award presentations
• Theatre
• Television
• Film
• Broadcast
• Corporate events
• Product launches
• Nightclubs
• Dance events
• Weddings
• Celebrations
• Touring productions

The rectangular 5cm x 2cm format is one of the most widely used professional confetti sizes because it provides an excellent combination of launch height, flutter and airborne hang time.

Supplied as a 1kg bulk pack, this product is suitable for professional confetti machines, cannons and other compatible stage-effects systems, or it can simply be thrown by hand where appropriate.

Brilliant Reflective Red Mylar

Unlike standard paper confetti, Mylar provides a highly reflective metallic appearance.

As each piece rotates and tumbles through the air, it catches:

• Stage lighting
• Moving lights
• Followspots
• LED fixtures
• Stadium lighting
• Camera flashes
• Daylight

creating constantly changing flashes of colour.

The result is a much brighter, more reflective visual effect than conventional matt paper confetti.

The red finish is particularly effective for:

• Dramatic show finales
• Sporting celebrations
• Corporate brand colours
• Christmas productions
• Valentine events
• Award ceremonies
• Concert hits
• Festival drops
• Television moments
• Arena celebrations

5cm x 2cm Rectangle Cut

Each piece is approximately:

5cm long x 2cm wide

in a rectangular flutter format.

This size is widely used across professional confetti effects because it provides a strong balance between:

• Launchability
• Air resistance
• Flutter
• Coverage
• Visibility
• Airborne time

When launched into the air, the flat rectangular pieces naturally tumble, rotate and change direction as they descend.

That movement creates the classic flutter effect associated with large-scale concert and stadium confetti.

Designed for Long Visual Hang Time

The 5cm x 2cm rectangle format is specifically useful because the relatively large flat surface creates air resistance during descent.

Rather than falling immediately to the ground like small heavy particles, the pieces can:

• Rotate
• Tumble
• Flutter
• Drift
• Reflect light

as they descend.

Actual hang time will vary significantly depending on:

• Launch height
• Machine type
• Air movement
• Venue size
• Wind
• HVAC systems
• Stage fans
• Confetti quantity

but the rectangular format is specifically selected for strong visual performance in the air.

Highly Reflective Metallic Finish

Mylar is particularly effective where lighting forms a major part of the visual production.

Each piece can reflect light toward the audience and cameras as it changes orientation.

Under moving stage lighting, thousands of individual reflective pieces can create a sparkling visual field across the venue.

This makes Mylar especially suitable for:

• Concert finales
• EDM productions
• Arena shows
• Night-time festivals
• Awards events
• Television productions
• Sporting presentations
• Large celebrations

Strong Red Colour

The red colour creates a bold, high-contrast effect in both daylight and show lighting.

Red confetti can be particularly useful when matched to:

• Artist branding
• Team colours
• Corporate branding
• Event themes
• Seasonal events
• Production design
• Lighting colour palettes

It can also be mixed with other Mylar colours to create custom combinations.

Popular mixes might include:

Red + Gold
Red + Silver
Red + White
Red + Black
Red + Multi

depending on the production design.

Colourfast Material

The Mylar confetti is designed to be:

Colourfast.

This is an important practical characteristic for live production.

Colourfast materials are preferable where confetti may come into contact with:

• Costumes
• Clothing
• Stage surfaces
• Production equipment
• Seating
• Decor

during an event.

As with any effects product, test first where particularly delicate, porous or valuable surfaces are involved.

Flameproof Mylar

This Mylar confetti is supplied as:

Flameproof

material for professional stage-effects use.

This is particularly relevant in entertainment environments where loose effects material may potentially come into contact with or settle around production equipment.

However, the term flameproof does not mean that the product should intentionally be exposed to flame or high heat.

Always keep confetti clear of:

• Open flames
• Pyrotechnic effects
• Spark machines unless specifically approved for the setup
• Hot lighting surfaces
• Heaters
• Exhausts
• Electrical equipment requiring ventilation

and follow all venue, event and fire-safety requirements.

Where a venue, certifier or fire authority requires formal flame-performance documentation, confirm the applicable certification or test documentation before use.

Ideal for Confetti Cannons

The 5cm x 2cm rectangular format is well suited to compatible professional:

Confetti cannons.

Depending on the system, confetti may be propelled using:

• Compressed air
• CO₂
• Other manufacturer-approved launch systems

The lightweight flat pieces spread and separate after leaving the cannon, producing a large visible burst followed by a fluttering descent.

Always follow the confetti-machine manufacturer’s loading instructions and recommended fill quantity.

Confetti Machines

Loose Mylar confetti can also be used with compatible professional confetti machines.

Depending on the machine design, these may provide:

• Continuous confetti output
• Timed bursts
• Stage-front effects
• Overhead drops
• Audience effects
• Large-scale atmospheric coverage

Machine compatibility should always be confirmed before loading.

Flutter Machines

This product is particularly well suited to compatible:

Flutter machines

designed to continuously feed lightweight confetti into an airflow.

A flutter machine can create a sustained effect rather than a single explosive burst.

This can be useful for:

• Concert finales
• Entrances
• Dance events
• Television
• Award presentations
• Festival moments

Swirl Machines

Compatible swirl-style confetti machines can keep lightweight confetti circulating through moving air.

The reflective Mylar construction performs particularly well in these effects because the constantly changing orientation of each piece creates flashes of reflected light.

Stadium Shot Systems

Professional stadium and arena confetti systems can distribute large volumes of confetti across substantial areas.

The bright red reflective Mylar provides excellent visibility across:

• Stadium fields
• Arena floors
• Large concert stages
• Sporting presentations
• Grand finals
• Victory ceremonies

Large-scale effects should always be planned around the capacity and operating requirements of the specific launch system.

Hand Throwing

The confetti can also be:

Thrown by hand.

This can be useful for:

• Weddings
• Photo moments
• Small celebrations
• Presentations
• Parties
• Audience participation

Hand throwing produces a smaller and more localised effect than a professional launcher, but the reflective Mylar can still create excellent photographic results.

Concerts

Confetti has become a major element of modern concert production.

Red Mylar can be used for:

• Artist entrances
• Song hits
• Chorus moments
• Finales
• Encores
• Crowd celebrations

When launched under concert lighting, the reflective pieces can remain visually active throughout their descent.

Festivals

Festivals can use large Mylar effects for:

• Headline artist moments
• DJ drops
• Stage finales
• Sponsor activations
• Main-stage celebrations

The 1kg bulk packaging allows production teams to calculate and prepare larger effects using multiple bags where required.

Arenas

Arena environments are particularly suited to confetti because substantial roof height can provide additional descent time.

A high launch combined with the fluttering rectangular shape can create a broad visual field above the audience or performance space.

Always consider:

• Air-conditioning
• Roof fans
• Lighting positions
• PA hangs
• video screens
• rigging
• exit paths

when designing large indoor effects.

Stadiums

In stadium environments, confetti can be used for:

• Team entrances
• Trophy presentations
• Victory celebrations
• Grand finals
• Opening ceremonies
• Closing ceremonies

Outdoor effects need additional consideration because wind can significantly alter dispersion.

Sporting Events

Red Mylar is particularly effective for sporting presentations where red forms part of:

• Team colours
• Competition branding
• Sponsor branding
• Presentation design

Confetti effects can be incorporated into:

• Player entrances
• Team introductions
• Medal ceremonies
• Trophy lifts
• Victory moments

Theatre

Theatre productions can use Mylar flutter for:

• Finales
• Musical numbers
• Transformation scenes
• Celebration moments
• Curtain calls
• Special-effects sequences

Because Mylar is reflective, lighting designers can integrate the falling material into the visual look of the scene.

Film and Television

Mylar confetti is particularly effective on camera because its reflective surface creates changing highlights as pieces move.

Potential applications include:

• Television entertainment
• Live broadcasts
• Reality television
• Music performances
• Commercials
• Film scenes
• Award shows
• Studio productions

Production teams should coordinate the effect with camera, lighting and floor departments before deployment.

Broadcast

For live broadcast, confetti should be planned around:

• Camera positions
• Lens lines
• Operators
• Cable paths
• Lighting
• Audio equipment
• Timing
• Cleanup

A well-positioned burst can produce a spectacular television moment without obscuring critical shots.

Corporate Events

Corporate productions can use red Mylar for:

• Brand reveals
• Product launches
• Awards
• Staff celebrations
• Conference finales
• Sponsor moments

Where red forms part of the company or campaign branding, the confetti itself becomes part of the visual identity of the event.

Product Launches

A confetti burst can provide a strong visual punctuation point for:

• Product reveals
• Countdown moments
• Brand launches
• Opening ceremonies
• Milestone celebrations

The reflective red material works especially well under carefully programmed lighting.

Weddings and Celebrations

Red Mylar can also be used for smaller celebratory environments including:

• Weddings
• Engagements
• Anniversaries
• Parties
• Photo moments

Always confirm that the venue permits metallic/Mylar confetti before use.

Indoor Use

For indoor events, Mylar confetti provides strong visual performance because:

• Wind conditions are controlled
• Lighting can be specifically programmed
• Launch placement can be carefully planned

However, production teams should still consider:

• HVAC airflow
• Fire detection systems
• Moving machinery
• Ventilation
• Escalators
• Electrical equipment
• Cleanup requirements

Outdoor Use

Mylar confetti can also be used outdoors where permitted.

Outdoor effects should account for:

• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Rain
• Nearby roads
• Waterways
• Neighbouring properties
• Environmental requirements
• Cleanup

Because Mylar is a synthetic material, responsible containment and complete post-event cleanup are particularly important.

Not Biodegradable

Mylar should not be confused with biodegradable paper or tissue confetti.

This product is selected primarily for:

• Reflectivity
• Colour intensity
• Metallic appearance
• Visual impact

rather than biodegradability.

Where environmental impact or outdoor cleanup is a major concern, consider GigLife’s paper, tissue or suitable biodegradable confetti options instead.

Plan for Cleanup

Professional confetti effects should always include a cleanup plan.

Mylar can settle across:

• Stage surfaces
• Seating
• Floors
• Grass
• Equipment
• Rigging
• Cable runs

For large effects, allow suitable:

• Crew
• Brooms
• Vacuum equipment
• Waste bags
• Venue cleaning time

as part of the event schedule.

Protect Moving Equipment

Loose confetti should be kept away from equipment where small pieces could enter moving or ventilated components.

Examples may include:

• Fans
• HVAC intakes
• Projectors
• Moving machinery
• Computers
• Amplifiers
• Equipment ventilation
• Escalators

Plan effect positions accordingly.

Consider Lighting Fixtures

Confetti often falls through lighting rigs and truss systems.

Although this material is sold as flameproof, productions should still avoid intentionally directing confetti toward:

• Exposed high-temperature surfaces
• Open flames
• Pyrotechnic devices
• Equipment air intakes

Flameproof treatment is a risk-management feature, not permission to expose the material to ignition sources.

Pyrotechnics and Flame Effects

Where confetti is being used in the same production as:

• Pyrotechnics
• Flame effects
• Spark effects
• CO₂ systems
• Other special effects

coordinate the systems through the event’s appropriate production and safety processes.

Effect timing and physical separation may be important.

Venue Approval

Some venues restrict or prohibit confetti because of:

• Cleanup
• Fire systems
• ventilation
• Environmental policies
• Surface protection
• Operational restrictions

Always obtain venue approval before planning a large confetti effect.

Quantity Planning

This product is supplied as:

1kg of Mylar confetti.

The quantity required for an event depends on:

• Effect type
• Machine
• Launch pressure
• Venue size
• Desired density
• Number of effects
• Coverage area

There is no universal “one bag covers X square metres” rule because effect systems vary significantly.

For professional shows, calculate consumption using the specifications and recommendations of the selected confetti machine.

Multiple Bags for Large Effects

Large:

• Stadium
• Arena
• Festival
• Concert

effects may require multiple kilograms of material.

The 1kg format makes it easy for production teams to:

• Count stock
• Allocate quantities to machines
• Pre-plan effects
• Monitor remaining material

Approximate Piece Dimensions

Individual confetti pieces are approximately:

5cm x 2cm.

Minor dimensional variation may occur during production.

The product should therefore be treated as stage-effects flutter rather than precision-cut industrial film.

Why Choose Mylar Instead of Paper?

Choose Mylar where the priority is:

• Metallic shine
• Light reflection
• Strong colour
• High-impact night-time effects
• Broadcast visibility
• Sparkling stage appearance

Choose paper or tissue confetti where the priority is:

• A softer matt appearance
• Different hang characteristics
• Biodegradable options
• Environmental or venue requirements

Both materials create different visual results.

Why Choose 5cm x 2cm Rectangles?

The 5cm x 2cm rectangle is one of the classic professional confetti formats.

Its advantages include:

• Large visible surface
• Strong flutter
• Good launch characteristics
• Good airborne movement
• Excellent reflection of lighting
• Effective coverage

The rectangular shape creates a constantly changing visual surface as it falls, which is particularly effective with reflective Mylar.

Why Choose Red Mylar Confetti?

Choose red when the production requires:

• Bold saturated colour
• Strong visibility
• A dramatic visual hit
• Red brand or team colours
• Christmas or seasonal effects
• Romantic or celebration themes
• High-impact concert moments

The reflective Mylar finish gives the red colour additional visual movement under changing lighting.
