43MM Chip Carrier - Custom Manufacturing (1 Viewer)

[Windwalker]

I’ve been struggling with storage / transport of my main game chips, the 43MM Jacks, and the only 43MM carriers I was able to find were the few offered by Gene at @ABC Gifts and Awards a few weeks ago.

The next option was a normal carrier with Matsui racks, but those racks are so delicate, a small amount of jiggling in the car will throw them off / have them break. Not great for transport.

So, I reached out to one of our manufacturers in China, and had this custom carrier made. Here’s an initial prototype, with a honeycomb interlocking rack system. Should have a couple of test carriers in a few days, will let you know how it turned out!

Do the 43 mm chips fit tightly in those octagon racks?

 

[Windwalker]

They’re supposed to, and my manufacturing contact says they do, but I won’t know till I get the samples to test. I’ll let you know.

Genius!

 

[Windwalker]

Genius!

I'm learning

I have some of those octagon racks.

Any more information/timeline for the bird cages?

Your price point was so low, if these are sturdy at all and you’re willing to share the contact, I’m positive the rest of us would organize a GB.

 

[Windwalker]

The prototypes are on their way to me now!

I've definitely haven't seen these exact things.

Also the octagon trays fit 43mm royals just fine!

I have some of those octagon racks.

I just purchased an 800 chip set of Royal’s from Apache and I’m looking for racks. Care to share a link to the seller?

btw I would be interested in a cage if you guys decide a group buy.

Did you ever get these made?

Did you ever get these made?

I did; they weren’t great.

I keep coming back to this, and I have seen you post pictures of a lot of chips in 1000 chip bird cages sitting all over the floor, so I'm curious if you ever had a bird cage fail or if you ever found a more robust bird cage in the market than just standard acrylic or polycarbonate? Curious how casinos move these things around.

I've got a set that fits into 2x400 chip birdcages that I actually like a lot as they are easy to move around and I don't feel like the weight of them stresses the birdcage at all, but I'm looking to grow the set by ~200 chips and it may need a new home.

I found a more robust birdcage. The best I’ve used.

There is a really old post with that link, if memory serves me correctly.

interesting, pricey but I'd pay for security/safety.

Any idea if they fit Matsui racks? Assuming so given reference to 43mm.

I wish they had those 6 racks in stock, those would be ideal.

Krish, can you confirm that Matsui racks fit in these?

Thanks!

They do.

Thank you. Those look like much higher quality cages than what I currently have.

 

[Goldfish]

These look awesome!
