These were delivered from an earlier buy, but I thought a few pictures of some of rjdev7's available designs might be good:

I really like that flamingo topper. Makes me regret dismantling my fixed limit set.
I did put together an Aria set though

We did play on the NY topper over the weekend and the topper was a big hit with my players. They loved the look of it, and the cards floated well across the table when dealing.
So I'm a noob to PCF but not to the game. Question regarding your toppers, and I apologize if this is already answered: How do I know which size to order? Is it supposed to fit as much of the table as possible? How do they attach/stay secure to the table? I'm sure I have other questions, but I think that's a good start. And if there is anything else you can suggest or enlighten me with, it would be appreciated!!I'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, up to a max length of 96”and max width of 48”, 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:

Does the topper nudge right up against the rail or go under it? I built my table and it has a removable rail so I’m wondering if my measurements should be up to the rail or to the edge of the actual table?
Who's gonna be the one to do a roultte layout like the craps layout?

Was already thinking about that lol

If you're using this in existing table, the idea is to order the topper so that it fits as close to the inside of the rails as possible, giving it a "felted" look. The backs of the topper is a very grippy rubber which keeps it from sliding around and stays firmly in place. I built a custom table so that my rails are slightly raised, allowing me to tuck my toppers underneath the rail. Not everyone has that option, though, so most order dimensions that fit snugly up to the inside of the rail. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

If you have removable rails, I'd suggest getting the topper to fit 1" under the rails so that once the rails are in place it looks fully felted and you won't see the edges of the topper. This would look very clean.
I’m ordering a Bond topper at 32x82 if anyone else wants to consider the same thing. Pic of Barrington size on a Chanman table.
These do look great! Couple questions. Shipping to Europe is no additional fee? Is max width 42 or 48 inches? I see 48 inches in the original post but 42 later in the thread.

Sorry I must have been smoking crack on the day I said 42". The max length is 96" and the max width is 48" (4 feet)
I will update the OP with this info. Apologies for any confusion.
Regarding shipping to Europe, there's no additional charge. If for whatever reason a remote location costs more, I will handle that with the buyer on a case by case basis.

Sorry, I realize now that I gave you incorrect information. The max is 48", NOT 42".
Awesome. Will definitely order a couple once I can design something I am happy with. Learning vectornator on iPad at the moment. Can not justify purchasing AI just for this little project.

I’d definitely be in on a good roulette layout.
Oh I like that. I like that a lot. My bright Mirage tourney set would look great on that!

@rjdev7 , do you have a mock up of one of the table toppers recreated in circular form? Say for example the Palms for a 45" circular topper. I figure the logo would just be centered but I think I need to have a visual of it. Would you increase/decrease the size of the logo depending on the size of the topper?

They actually work quite well together if you had a two table setup.

The Mirage is synonymous in my family with my late grandparents. I ordered a set of the cards mold tributes and now I need that Desert Heat
Look at us, working together yet not lol, #aloneaparttogether LOL I dig your geometric center!

@aaron2786 I sent you an email about the design
I did a funky rectangular topper for @GrindstonePoker (his design) before which came out awesome I think. I'm confident we can do anything we set our minds too, just a matter of getting the dimensions right, and convincing my wife that the hours I spend designing poker mats is worth it lol.

If we go a rectangle, I’d like to add a little bit on the H x W to tuck under.
Mirage Desert Heat file is now in the hands of @rjdev7
Anyone interested in one just contact him directly on it
