Hey Guys!

New member here, that joined a cupple of weeks ago. Great forum, learned a lot! I have worked on finishing up the design of my costum poker set, which will be quite a large order. I am going to buy 39mm Hybrid web mold ceramics Tina poker chips from Shenzhen City Chenglin Industrial Co. Will be using for all casino-games, but primarily blackjack. For the roulette chips I am going for either 39mm no-mold cheramics or 11.5G Roulette Ceramics (not really sure what's the difference hehe).

This is my current designs. Would love to get some feedback if there is something I should improve! I have printed out the labels and checked that the graphics is large enough.

The only thing that is left, is to get my design into right Illustrator format. My designs are currently in ps. It seems a bit intimidating with illustrator, but I saw a template that was uploaded here, and if I am not mistaken I could change the colors and labels, and the sides of the chips is already worked out, right? Or Is that something that the Tina-team can fix for me? If there is anybody here up for the task, don't hesitate to reach out! (I changed the design of the template a little bit, to make a roulette-chip style, so I guess that is going to affect the sides. Any way of knowing if the sides are lined up correctly with the front design?

Sorry for a post a little all over the place. Would love to hear from you guys.

Best regards

Also forgot to mention that all the denominations are in NOK (not usd, which is 10x smaller than usd. So the colors should be right. 50nok=5$, 1000nok=100$ osv....
 
My honest personal opinion - Your colors and spot patterns are drab and boring. If you love them, then keep them just the way they are. But you need to realize that with Tina customs, the sky is the limit. Brighter colors and complex spot patterns are absolutely available, and unlike CPCs, they don't cost a penny more.
 
There is nothing wrong with the inlay art, in general.

The same spot patterns among all chips really only works for tourney denoms. It's almost a disaster for cash.

You should not repeat edge spot colours between adjacent value chips, preferably not within two adjacent values.
 
Hey and thanks for the feedback! This is all pretty new to me, so its much aprichiated. Is this because different edge spots makes them more distinguasable, and easier to identify at the table? To add to that: Do you think some of my colors are to close to each other, and would blend together uder low light conditions?
 
Your plaques would look great if made by Matsui, they have nice metalic gold....

So lets dive into this,

Inlay - I love it clean and good

Roulette - Do you need to have the 1 there? Is a roulette chip aways 1kr? if not you can use symbols or something NVC

Plaques - If you are going acrylic, then you are not using it properly, except the 1m. They are all quite dark and not letting the marble shine through. Also in you have nothing to see the value except the colors so having them so similar in colour you need a big size difference or you can not use the 1000,50000, 250.000 and 100.000 at the same time.

Chips - That is a lot of denominations! I suggest designing them in groups of what will be at what table. Also having this many chips and not using different edge spots is really hard to keep dirty stacks away. I would strongly recommend revisiting spots and colors for the chips. Also take note that some colors tend to print darker so I would worry about
0.5 and 2.5 combo
100 - 250 - 1000 - 5000 are all dark chips with similar colored spots.

If you want you can PM me and I can show you how I designed my plaques and how I instructed Tina to select colors for my chips, it is hard to move colors from Screen to Chips.
