Classic Poker Chips Order - Advice Needed (45 Viewers)

[RenoPokerPlayer]

I have been a long-time lurker of this forum, as well as CPC. It has always been my dream to own a custom set of chips, and with the news of CPC closing down, I need to make some decisions. My favorite sets I've seen are Casa Mango, and Moonlight Cardhouse. This set I designed myself takes a little inspiration from both.

I have begun hosting regular cash and winner take all Hold'em games. Generally, I have 5-9 people at the table, and we get together a couple times a month. Since we have different groups of people that show up, sometimes we play 5c/10c blinds to start, and sometimes 25c/50c blinds to start. That is the only reason I have included 5c, and 50c chips in the set. Since they are going out of business, I feel obligated to cover all of my bases for future games.

I'd love to get your opinion on the overall design of the chips, as well as get some advice from people that have ordered or worked with CPC in the past. I'm looking to get around 1000 chips, and haven't done the math on what I need exactly yet. I'd also love to get some feedback and advice for inlays on CPC chips. Are they basically just stickers, or do they somehow press them into the chip more permanently?

Image quality didn't turn out great, so I uploaded a duplicate that is clearer to see the detail on the inlays. Thanks in advance!

On a side note, does anyone know if the pricing on the chips goes down if you order higher quantity? If so, I would be interested in doing a group buy potentially if people like the overall design.

Cheers!

I'm not a fan of the .50 or the 5, but you really did well on the others, I would suggest making two of the lower level chips non denom, so you don't need 3 and you can get away with only 2. Grey can be .05 or .25 or .50 and use the other for what you need to fill in from there

That is a good point, and they could also be used for a $2500 as well if I ever needed it. Thanks!

The .50 is not necessary, with the .25 and the $1. But the design is pretty solid. Good luck!

I second that.

I would get rid of the 5c, 25c, 50c, and $500 and use two non-denoms to cover them.

Would you really need $500 in a 5c/25c game?

That and I thought minimum order for one design is a rack anyway so do you really need that many $500s if you already have a rack of $100s?

I want the $500's to cover larger tournaments, and agreed on the two non-denoms to cover other values. At the same time, I'm not necessarily worried about the money, I mainly am worried about having everything I would ever need in the future so I have a somewhat matching set. I use 5c, 25c, and 50c enough to justify getting ones made with a label. I don't need a bunch, but depending on the groups of people, some of them prefer to have 5c/25c/50c/$1 (I know not 4-5x). I also look at this set as a lifetime set, so with inflation etc, it's likely the 50c chip would potentially replace the 25c for games down the road. Thanks for the input though!

I like what you did here, though I echo the 50cent is unnecessary. Do you really need a 5cent? If you don't, maybe eliminate that one, as well, though I like your design.

Do you have a color sample? You get a better idea of real colors when they are in front of you. The screen is sometimes deceiving.

And I really like the 50c and $5 chips. Just not sure if mandarin red would be enough contrast against tiger. And I agree using NCV chips to reduce the number of fracs needed.

Taking another look at this, I HOPE the 1 looks that good in person with that dayglow Saturn

If you keep the 5 cent design in some way I would change one of the 2 charcoal spots to a 3rd color.

Love the suggestion! Thanks for that man, I think I do like the color combo more! Doesn’t clash with any of the other stacks, I like it!

This is a much brighter color palette than I generally like but they are really sharp and work well with the style of the inlays. As to your questions about CPC...
- They don't lower the price for higher quantities. (I just ordered an 1800 chip set)
- The inlays are pressed into the chip
