Chip Manufacturing Videos? (5 Viewers)

I've been looking, haven't found a ton.

Anyone have any to share? Would love to see the process.

No clay here.

Injection-molded plastic chips don't really count.

Unlikely you will find video of any clay chip manufacturers, as they are prohibited by casino regulations from divulging specific processes and materials due to security concerns.

Well that's a bummer!

Not poker chips, but I think this is similar process to compression molded chips. Those with more knowledge can confirm or negate.

I wonder if the mold pattern gets pressed at the same time as the label recess?
I guess no - if you can get blanks without recess (hot stamp).

Eh, none of those are really how chips are done.

Whether or not a chip has a recess depends on the specific mold design itself. Some mold designs contain a recessed space; others do not. And in either case, the inclusion of an inlay will cause material displacement during compression -- which creates a recess that can be seen if the inlay is later removed.

For example, the THC mold contains a designed recess -- pressed blanks will exhibit this characteristic, while chips pressed with inlays smaller than the recess will exhibit material displacement under the inlay itself.

Some CPC molds have no designed recess -- so pressed blanks have a flat surface and center area, while chips pressed with inlays exhibit material displacement under the inlay.

THC mold chips with hot-stamps have the stamp in a recess, making the material displacement from the stamping process unlikely to cause stacking issues. Molds with no designed mold recess must have the hot-stamps scraped after stamping to remove the displaced material so that they will stack flat.

Perhaps even antiquated federal law, since at one point they were regulated similar to government-issued currency.
