Oversized paintballs are a prevalent issue in paintball quality, rendering them nearly unusable. Their excessive size leads to numerous usage problems, resulting in a subpar experience for players. Unlike airsoft BBs, which are more uniform in size, paintballs vary due to their manufacturing process. This process involves molding gelatin from a liquid to a solid state, which is highly susceptible to temperature and humidity. Consequently, a manufacturer's expertise in maintaining paintball size within an optimal range is crucial. Unfortunately, some manufacturers that provide paintball machinery and gelatin also produce substandard paintballs, flooding the market with low-quality products.

Therefore, finding an experienced manufacturer in the field of paintballs as your partner can effectively reduce your quality risk and brand crisis.

Deformed paintballs represent a prevalent quality issue, distinct from the less problematic flat-point paintballs. These irregularly shaped paintballs, characterized by surface bumps and dents, can significantly disrupt the paintball's trajectory, whether the deformation is severe or minor.

The susceptibility of paintballs to deformation during manufacturing underscores the importance of the manufacturer's expertise in preventing and reducing this quality concern. Despite the existence of factories that sell production machinery and gelatin for paintballs, the quality of the resulting paintballs is often subpar.

Deformed paintballs can be classified into two categories: those with severe deformations and those with slight deformations

What are Deformed Paintballs?
Deformed Paintballs are severe in two ways:
1. More than 60% of the paintballs you buy, say 150 boxes, have Deformed Paintballs.

2. Every packet in a box of paintballs contains Deformed Paintballs. The percentage of Deformed Paintballs in each packet is more than 10%.

What are Slightly Deformed Paintballs?
Slightly Deformed Paintballs occur in two ways:
1. You purchase paintballs, say 150 boxes, and occasionally a few boxes (no more than 10 boxes) have Deformed Paintballs.

2. Inside a box of paintballs, occasionally only 1-2 bags contain Deformed Paintballs. The number of Deformed Paintballs in each bag ranges from 1-3 balls.

Additionally, extreme heat contributes to the deformation of paintballs. When temperatures rise, paintballs can soften and become compressed against each other within their packaging.

Significant paintball deformation can lead to customer dissatisfaction at paintball venues, negatively impacting gameplay. Mild deformation is typically not an issue, but it is intolerable for a brand aiming to excel in the fiercely competitive paintball industry.

Thus, partnering with a manufacturer well-versed in paintball production is crucial for preventing quality issues related to paintball deformation. Employing temperature-controlled, refrigerated transport further mitigates the risk of quality degradation due to deformation.

Flat Points are a prevalent issue with paintballs, yet they are also the most fortunate of defects. Paintball shells are gelatin-based, and their physical properties are highly susceptible to temperature and humidity fluctuations. Elevated temperatures and humidity levels can soften paintballs, leading to the formation of flat points.

The production process of paintballs does not account for flat points; they are solely a result of environmental conditions. Flat points are divided into two categories: Slight and Severe.

What's the Minor flat points?
Minor flat points are those with a size akin to a sesame seed on the paintball's surface. These slight imperfections do not impede the use of the paintballs. Although they may theoretically alter the aerodynamics and trajectory, in practical use, the impact is negligible. However, when transported in standard containers, slight flat points are inevitable, especially considering that paintballs may spend up to 30 days at sea, sometimes traversing tropical waters, which pose significant risks.

For those with stringent quality demands, particularly for tournament use, we recommend utilizing temperature-controlled, refrigerated containers. This ensures that the paintballs maintain optimal hardness and avoid flat points.\

What's the Severe flat points ?
Severe flat points occur when the paintball's surface has a flat area of 1/10th or even 3/5th. These defects undoubtedly disrupt the paintball's straight flight path, detracting from the player's experience. For example ,you purchase paintballs, such as 150 boxes, that most paintballs exhibit severe flat points. This could be due to extreme temperatures encountered during transportation, potentially causing paintballs to stick and clump together.

Despite their imperfections, flat points paintballs can still be fired from a marker, which is why they are considered the "luckiest" of paintball quality issues. An interesting phenomenon is that many paintball fields prefer to purchase these flat point paintballs because, as defective products, they are usually offered at a discount.These defective products are very popular.
