Plastic Snow FAQ

The snow is sold in 30lb boxes (shipping weight approximately 33lbs).

A 30lb box is $125 plus shipping.

The shipping weight is approximately 33lb. Shipping costs depend on the ship-to location and method of shipping, but as an example (subject to change), FedEX ground to Seattle is approximately $43 and approximately $18 to Philadelphia.

Plastic flakes are approximately 1/4"

1lb will cover an 18 square foot area to 1/2" deep.

Limelight's plastic snow flakes are compatible with either traditional snow cradles (bags) or Limelight's DMX snow machines.

It may be possible to load as much as 10lbs of snow into the machine, but for a more consistent flow it is best not to fill the machine completely (ie pack it full). The ideal load for best performance is approximately 1-2lbs. Filling the hopper to full impedes the tumbling motion so the snow comes out slowly for a while and then more consistently as tumbling room is acquired.

Results may vary widely depending on the volume & speed, but a load of 1-2lbs may last approximately 15 minutes.

We strongly discourage reusing the snow. Would you sweep up dirt and debris off the floor and float it over your own head?

The snow is plastic, so it will melt under a sustained heat source. However, in our experience, it will not sustain a flame when the heat source is removed. in other words, it will not support combustion.

Under ideal circumstances we do keep a stock of the plastic snow and can typically ship same-day, however please note that demand for the snow tends to be quite heavy at certain times of the year (around the holiday production season) so we do advise ordering early.
