I have been wanting to find some alternative ways to over label chips. I think I/we have found it!
TLDR I have over labeled a rack of reasonable condition RHC with labels from sticker mule and have had no issues. No new spinners, no extra wobbling, and no handling issues. I think this is a viable option for folks who want to expedite the overlabeling/chip customizing journey!
I was inspired by this post by @DirtyTIVA to try StickerMule.com as an option for overlabeling RHC chips. Thanks to @Colquhoun for help with the Mirage artwork.
I have wanted to have some more frac options for my mixed Paulson line ups. I have two racks of Bally's Shreveport $1 chips that I haven't known what to do with. They are beautiful chips, with one of the absolute ugliest inlays in existence IMHO.
I ordered 400 "labels" from sticker mule in the sheet format. I paid for expedited shipping. Ordered June 11th, delivered today, June 14th. Heck of a turnaround! I customized the size to 1.09 inches. I feel like they were cut juuuuust a tad smaller. Next time I will order 1.10 inches.
Labels came out to around 27 cents each shipped.
I ordered 400 labels and was shipped 672!! Enough for another rack of chips!
Labels shipped next day air with the shipping upgrade.
Mirage quarter labels ready for action!
The target chip in question. A pretty chip with an absolutely disgusting inlay.
A couple of chips in... seems like this might work.
A barrel done. Absolutely zero change in stack height. No visible gaps. No spinners. No wobbling. Nice!
Beautiful new rack of quarters relabeled and ready for action!
Splashed pot pr0n!
Some thoughts:
Let's discuss! I think this could be a good solution for the community, so let's keep the discussion rolling!
Many thanks for reading.

Some thoughts:
- The color TONE of the previous inlay can be seen slightly. That actually worked really nicely as it gives my chips a not perfect "white" look that seems more natural. However, I cannot make out any words, shapes, or any detail of the previous inlay. Only a slight amount of the general color tone behind my plain white label.
- I have not tried doing this on a more worn down RHC. These are probably pretty middle of road condition. I think results would be same or better on mintier chips, and worse the more worn they are. I will be doing some additional testing on other worn chips, but safe to say, the mintier chips the better.

Need to find a set of Paulson's I like first though before I pull the trigger. Guessing the value is gonna take a hit with any new/re-labels?
