Sticker Mule does it again

 

[BearMetal]

Okay, we all know that nothing beats a CPC package arriving. And all of those multi-thousand dollar LFRBs as well. However, sometimes it's the little things. These arrived and they just complete a one-of-a-kind Matsui set! Thanks @Northern Paladin !!!

Edit: I totally forgot to mention the BONUS Horseshoe cut cards as a gift from David... they will go great with my HSI and Matsui WSOP sets!

UPS came today, oh boy!

The chips.....
Lemme preface this, when I picked up the box I heard chips rattling around; ok it's ok I kept saying to myself.

Solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded seems easier than unwrapping some of the intricately wrapped barrel-condoms that have come my way. If chips are packaged well it's not necessary at all.

 

[toothpic]

I generally pack in the chip boxes but with painter tape over the box and haven't ever had a problem. They are taped tightly so packed in snug and shouldn't be able to move around. From the picture above, looks like maybe the chip barrel divider wasn't fully up so the chips were able to move around. It shouldn't be an issue on a tightly packed chip box with the dividers up.

i hate when people saran wrap then tape it....the point of the saran wrap is to hold it tightly but easy to unroll when opened...once you tape it it becomes a nightmare of cutting tearing pulling and you cant ever find where the tape edges are. Saran wrap is enough

Yes. Because we’ve all shipped a buttload of boxes without ever considering wrapping barrels and never had a problem.
Just keep everything tight. That’s like the most important rule.

Glad you got them and like them!

I am personally happy to have been able to carry out this project and to have been able to benefit the PCF community. However, it was not won. The time left was very short when I got the idea for these cards while browsing Buge's GB interest thread. As such, I thank the great @Johnny5 very much for accepting my request and for producing these superb Zen designs, not to mention the patience he showed with someone as new as me for this kind of exercise . But I must also greatly thank @DMack (who carried out all the reshipments), without whom nothing could really have been done. It's amazing how cool and accommodating this guy is. He replied to each of my requests with a "no problem man". I must again thank @BNM who advised me in an expert manner at the start of the project and without whom again, nothing could have been done.

Thanks guys! This community is awesome!

What is that sticky saran wrap stuff? That is trully the worst! After you unwrap the chips every single chip is sticky! I recently bought a set of chips that was sold as "clean" but I had to re wash and oil every chip because of the sticky saran wrap! Please people do not put that stuff directly on poker chips!

Also for the record as long as the box is tight you absolutely do not need to wrap the barrels... even though I believe @FordPickup92 is still doing that as well.

Personally not a fan of the tape on boxes either, often when you go to peel the tape off it rips the outer layer of the box with it, saran wrap outside the box keeps everything perfectly tight, use a razor blade and cut the bottom seem where the 2 halves of the box come together and you are in! Clean box, safe chips... that's all we are looking for!

Atleast @toothpic uses blue painters tape, you can usually get that off. Those that use the clear packing tape on the chip boxes... that never comes off without damaging the box.

GLAD Press n Seal... or Cling Wrap... never use that stuff directly on the chips please!!

 

[upNdown]

but I had to re wash and oil every chip

Yeah, but it kinda seems like you love doing that?

 

[upNdown]

Alright, I’m out!
Check please

Oh yeah, that's me. Every box. Every time. Clear tape crew FTW.

Small mail day and a little warped which is annoying since that was not listed in the description. Time to break out the flattening equipment.
