I think the sizes are listed on the spreadsheet, or they have been before, don't get me lying but I think the Barrington is the 73.5" long ovalDoes the barrington use the small or large oval?
Correct. 73.5”I think the sizes are listed on the spreadsheet, or they have been before, don't get me lying but I think the Barrington is the 73.5" long oval
Nope. That’ll work nicely.How big are the background squares? I've made mine 2", not sure if that's too big
I’ll add this to the OP, but here’s how the cards slide. These are faded spade 3.0:Any info on the feel and glide on these? Custom sizes is awesome. I can change felts like I do sets now
I’m into it!Well I think we all know what this thread is gonna devolve into... V1 boys, let's go

Sir, that’s a string betI'm excited to announce a partnership with a new vendor who will be able to supply made-to-order table toppers to the US and Europe.
All existing stock designs and sizes (including those compatible with the Barrington / ESPN oval tables) that have been previously offered are available, and will arrive within a time period of approximately three weeks from the time of purchase.
New, custom designs and dimensions are possible as well, however they will likely take longer than three weeks to arrive, depending on what is requested. This is especially true for entirely new artwork.
A few considerations:
To place an order, please PM me with the identifier # from the above spreadsheet. I will handle the artwork, process the order, and have it shipped directly to you.
- Thickness: The thickness of these toppers is 2mm. There are some pros and cons with this.
Pro: Both samples I have seem to lie flatter with less wrinkles (see pics below). I don't know if it's bc these aren't shipped for several weeks in tight shipping container boxes from China or if it's just the increased flexibility from thinner material. For those of you using these inside existing tables (e.g. Barrington, ESPN, etc.) you won't notice a difference in padding once these are installed.
Con: As standalone table toppers on dining tables, etc. you'll likely notice a slight difference in padding since they're half the thickness of the bulk China toppers.
Solution: buy two and put one under the other (half kidding )- Quality: I am confident that the print quality and quality control (e.g. dimension accuracy) are better than the vendor I was using in China for the bulk orders. The colors are very vibrant, with little bleed, and the dimensions for the samples I ordered were precise.
- Sewn Edges: It's possible to have sewn edges for a small added fee. Take this for what it's worth, but if you're using these toppers to fit within an existing table like a Barrington, an ESPN table, or some other existing table, I would recommend NOT doing edge stitching. Why? The look is much cleaner than having the edges showing around the inside of the rails on the table
- Price is going to be on par with the bulk China vendor for a few reasons, but mostly because the made-to-order vendor is more expensive when you factor in the cost to produce and ship individual orders in less than a month.
Un-sewn Edges: $125 shipped
Sewn Edges: $130 shipped
Custom Art: I will not be charging for custom artwork unless it's very specific and bespoke, such that it likely wouldn't be desired by others (e.g. personal toppers like "Dan's card room"). In these very specific cases, custom designs will come at a $10 premium.
Here is a blank template in Adobe Illustrator if anyone would like to design your own art and send to me.
Here are the samples I had shipped from the new vendor:

If you have questions, feel free to respond here so my answers are seen by all. Thank you!
p.s. I improved some existing stock designs to comply with the recommendations of the new vendor (e.g. solid backgrounds are not good bc they lead to inconsistent print results). I think you all will like them! Here are a few showing the new backgrounds:

Here’s a video showing how well cards slide on the toppers:
I like the fifth one, but I'm a sucker for green ever since I saw the Royal Family Green in person. I've not experienced the white getting dirty / dingy yet. I'm sure after tons of games it might get some wear, but it really pops as a betting line IMO.Imma need some votes and input here, want it to work with a brown or black rail table

Bro is concerned the white might get dingy
@rjdev7 what do you think on the dinge factor? Also if anyone has a line on how to do a decent gold in illustrator that will print close to a true gold color I'm all ears because it's look dope with that green
Fair!Sir, that’s a string bet
I think I'm with you leaning toward pure white and perhaps greenI like the fifth one, but I'm a sucker for green ever since I saw the Royal Family Green in person.

That's hot too. Tough call!I think I'm with you leaning toward pure white and perhaps green

I dunno, aren't you concerned with dirty stack issues with your chips & topper?I think I'm with you leaning toward pure white and perhaps green

Nah, son, went full JACK, enough with them dayglow ! I did pick up a CPC hot stamp set tho... LolI dunno, aren't you concerned with dirty stack issues with your chips & topper?
I just wanted to rib you after the debacle in your design thread.Nah, son, went full JACK, enough with them dayglow ! I did pick up a CPC hot stamp set tho... Lol
Yes I can send one. The sewn edge is personal preference IMO. I know people say they prevent fraying, but honestly I think any loose thread on the sewing is more of an eye sore than any frayed edge.Do you have a close up picture of the sewn edge vs regular edge?
And would you recommend the sewn edge if not using with a Barrington?
Yeah I knew I knew, I still deserve a few more ribs for it lol, but hey we're all moved on!I just wanted to rib you after the debacle in your design thread.
Looking forward to submitting another custom design through this new vendor! With all respect to the work you put into your craps toppers, there's a few things I want to do differently and am going to build my own from scratch. Can't wait to get it printed, though!
Would be in for an Overlook Hotel carpet pattern topper for sure!
It’s ongoing. Waiting on a response about max dimensions. Remind me what the dimensions are of Triton toppers? The only issue *may* be that you’d need to layer two of these toppers to fit in the Triton due to thickness. I don’t know how snug the current Triton toppers fit. The other option could be to just have these toppers sit on top of the existing Triton toppers if there’s a pre existing gap. Anyway, definitely worth trialing out.This is awesome! And we can do custom sizes (ie Triton Poker table)?! Is this buy ongoing or do you have a specific deadline for orders?
Looks great! Shoot me a PM if/when you’re ready to make this
Correct, depending on the response I get about max dimensions, and what the dimensions of your Chanman is/are. Send me the dimensions when you can.So you mean, I could order one that would fit right onto my Chanman table?
if that's true....my two Barrington sized ones are....FOR SALE (since I don't have a Barrington, and have 3 Chanman).
