Personalised Poker Chips

Postby lynx77 » Tue Sep 13, 2005 7:13 pm GMT

Anyone know where you can get them from?

I've seen the usual clay chips that people print a one colour logo or name on the front but they are awful. I got a few samples and the print rubs off way too easily!

Im talking about proper WPT chips that have amazing graphics on the front of them. Fair do's to the makers of those cos they look and sound amazing. The graphic is actaully dyed into the clay when its made it think, not printed on top afterwards so it looks and stays perfect.

I know id have to order 1000's of the things to make it worth my while but i thought id ask you guys anyway.

Any of you got personalised chips or know a company that do the kick ass ones?

Cheers in advance

The sweating hordes of the chip forum would be the people to ask. Would you like to take the interforum mass transit system?

edit: I moved this because I could get away with moving it and I wanted to test the moving power. I left a placeholder so's you could find replies cause there's nothin' wrong with the topic per se, it's just a chip topic so it doesn't need to disappear like the dreaded processed meat

Clay chips (like Paulson, TR King, ASM, Blue Chip) don't have the graphic design dyed into it--there is a central label, called an inlay, that is fused/pressed into to the chip during manufacture. Only the latter three companies make custom chips for the average home user.

Ceramics (like Chipco, Nevada Jacks) have full-coverage graphics that are printed on the surface after the chip is made. Several vendors make custom chips using these.

For more information, I know of another forum that is all about poker chips. There you will find a whole section of the forum dedicated to custom chips, with lots of pictures. PM me if interested (I'm not sure if TH-P are sensitive about me posting the name of it).

I keep NEARLY getting my posts deleted. Im harmless guys, you know this :P

Cheers for the links steve - your chips look great. Have the graphics stayed perfect? Rubbed off faded or anything? I only ask cos i know there are a lot of chips that lose their quality after use and spending £100 isnt a small amount of money!

PMed ya jonny.

Cheers for the help!

The graphics will not rub off - the print on the paper is protected by a clear layer of something...

Call and ask for some samples to see for yourself.
