Which laminate should I use?
We offer several laminates:
Smooth has a satin finish with no texture.
* recommended for inlay replacement on Paulson RHC, or when matching other sets with existing smooth labels.
Matte has a satin finish with a slight texture.
* the most similar to china clay labels, e.g. Majestic or Milano. Recommended when adding labels to those chips.
* Also recommended when replacing inlays on somewhat used Paulson THC chips (i.e. with worn cross-hatching.)
Textured has a satin finish with a lot of texture, similar to cross-hatching on Paulson or CPC chips.
* recommended when replacing inlays on CPC/ASM chips on the HHR mold, or other molds with cross-hatching in the label area.
* also recommended when replacing inlays on new Paulson THC chips, or adding labels to milled hotstamped Paulsons or TRK chips.
Glossy has a shiny finish with no texture (smooth and clear.)
* recommended when matching chips with particularly glossy/shiny labels. Can be a good match for CPC chips on the FDL mold, or other smooth CPC molds.
Thick/glossy has a shiny finish with no texture, but is substantially thicker than the other laminates.
* recommended only for Bud Jones-style chips, or SunFly ceramic hybrids. Possibly also CPC chips on the FDL mold. Not appropriate for Paulsons.
Unlaminated labels are also available, of course, and are printed on matte vinyl to minimize glare.
* recommended when putting labels on top of existing inlays without removing them, e.g. casino Paulsons
* not recommended for labelling any blank chips. Blank chips with a recess should get a laminated label. Blank chips with no recess should not be labelled without being milled first.
What do you mean by "satin finish"?
Satin means semi-gloss. It's not completely matte/flat/dull, but it's not as shiny and reflective as a glossy finish.
