    Video:

    1.  The machine presses the gel ribbon into a die with half circle pockets
    2. Each forming one half of a ball shell
    3. The machine does the next three steps in one shot
    4. It aligns the two half shells together to form a hollow ball, injects the fill and then seals the halves together  (3:00)

    You can miss it easily because they're using a fill colored the same as the shell.

    The paintballs are sealed and filled at the same time.  The two shells come together with the paint dripping down from above and the shells are sealed.

    Some paint is better quality than others, I highly recommend Draxxus Yes
