Can’t make up my mind! (8 Viewers)

[bhenny]

Hey everyone, I was looking for some guidance on which direction I should take. I’ve been starting the process of making my own chip set. I’ve looked into blanks as I don’t think I’m at the stage of getting a fully customized set as I wouldn’t use them to the point in justifying the price. I have had an inlay design created and wanted to have everyone give and tips and ideas of what should I do. Should I drop the project and get a premade set already like the Panda KGB, Mirage, Dunes of Arrakkis? Should I go ahead and get inlays printed and put them on blanks and if so how do you decide what colors you should go with. Any help would be appreciated

It really depends on your budget.

Tinas can be full custom for cheap, though they are ceramic, which is at the bottom of my tolerable list (yes, below China Clay). CC relabels or blanks are also inexpensive with custom Gear labels. Relabeling old casino chips is a more pricy option, and for slightly more you can get simple spot pattern CPCs. Getting even more expensive are minty Paulsons which can be over-labeled or murdered, or the Full-blown CPC route without the simple spot pattern restriction.

I do like your label design, but you will want to know the chip base before really settling on the denom color.

I forgot to mention that I'm looking at a set of 400-500 chips. I don't play a ton of games but what the option to have my own chips if when the time arises. Budget realistically would be in the $600-$750 range.

Check the Broken Arrow Cardroom Supply for the latest offerings. It seems like you should easily be able to get your chipset within your budget by going with them.

With that budget the group buy and tina hybrids is probably your best option.

Pro tip - center the numbers alone, and make the dollar/cent signs a smaller font and off to the side.

As with any inlay design, you are usually dealing with a 1" circle. Keep that in mind as your design looks fine enlarged, but on the chips some of the design elements are just too small. Good Luck with your project.

Why 400-500 why not 300 or 600?

No real reason and definitely not opposed to doing 300 or 600. Still kind of learning everything and seeing what a good number/design/price would be.

This is a good place for "how many" as well ...of course the first answer is always "more".
