You can absolutely over-label your chips using Sticker Mule (2 Viewers)

Which graphics programs are people using to do the sticker art? Does sticker mule have a required format?

Sticker Mule accepts all sorts of file formats: https://www.stickermule.com/support/file-formats

I think most designers use Adobe Illustrator, which produces .ai by default, which is a vector format. I use Inkscape (free software), which produces .svg by default, another vector format. Most can also export/save-as various raster formats like .png, .jpg, .gif, etc. but those have to be of high resolution for printing because the pixels are "fixed" in raster file formats, whereas vector images can be resized without losing quality.

Hey! I recreated the art for the Caesars Palace chips in Illustrator. I believe StickerMule accepts .ai, .pdf, .jpeg and .png. Hope that helps.

Another 400 labels ordered this morning... what could they be for?

View attachment 1153340

Looks like they give discounts for higher quantities ordered. If I need 200 labels each for 5 denoms, do you know if I would get the pricing for 1000 labels or would it be pricing for 200 labels x 5?

They’ve done custom layouts where multiple denoms are on one sheet and they charge by total quantity. I know @dmoney’s gotten them to do that. I think @merkong? People in the bigger Sticker Mule thread’s mentioned it.

That can be done with their “stickers” product. Those are significantly thicker, so should only be used for inlay replacement on murdered chips, not overlabeling.

For overlabeling, choose “labels” in sheets. Size 1.1x1.1 for RHC chips. You’ll want to do the five denominations separately, 200 at a time. You’ll get a discount the more you order. Hope that helps!

I'm going to be ordering some labels/stickers for my Milano blanks soon. With a blank chip, do you recommend stickers or labels?

I believe you can order samples of both first you like. I know @Rooster410 has some info on how to do that.

My gut says still go with labels, but if you want to be methodical about it, go the sample prints route

Hope that helps.

I use sticker mule for a lot of products for my karate school. Now I'm thinking about buying a set of royals and getting some labels

Now I'm thinking about buying a set of royals and getting some labels

I will suggest doing the label on RHC / THC, not quite worth it to do on Royal especially once you already have CPC / Paulson set to use

 

[EverGreenGSO]

Wow. Great job

Really making me reconsider what chip set to buy next

With this you can mix and match whatever you want

The traditional process scraping all labels off makes me wary

 

[BTJOHNE]

Look great. Can I buy a sheet of stickers and sublimate print my own stickers?

 

[QuieTSToRM33]

Labels came out great. I want to make a Mirage set myself, albeit with dark labels. I might need some help with the artwork however.

Depends. I've got a big tourny set of CC that I relabeled, but use Paulsons or custom chips for 1 or 2 table tourny's and cash games. I'm not buying a 10 table tourmy set of Paulsons.

 

[LeLe]

I'm not buying a 10 table tourmy set of Paulsons.

That’s fair, I am not buying 10 table MTT Paulson / CPC too

I did!

Any issues with the labels peeling?

Thanks for sharing this. Are you making the art for your chips, or are you using previously made art files?

*edit* My bad. I didn't see there was another page where you added the info about making the art yourself.

So, if I am going to remove a label and have a blank chip, I should order the "stickers"? For example, if I want together a set of Majestic chips and put different denominations on them, I would first remove the label. In which case, I would by the stickers?

Lastly, would you say the quality of stickers or labels are better over at sticker mule?

The "stickers" are higher quality, but too thick to label over a chip without removing the inlay. Use sticker mule "labels" if you dont want to remove the inlay and the chip is in good condition, not too worn. Remove the inlay and use "stickers" if you want to replace the inlay. Hope that makes sense and helps.

Just as a reference point, I tried sticker mule, spinettis (vendor here), stickeryou, stickerapp so far.. thoughts for RHC overlabels:

• Sticker you: 3/10 - good thickness, poor quality inlay printer, prints to good custom size
• Sticker App: 6/10 - good thickness, good quality, don't like their cut at all.. leave a white edge even with bleed but fine if using white inlay background, inlay size seems a tad small
• Sticker Mule: No score. I tried the inlays mentioned but the thickness slightly exceeded the outer ring on the chip, so had to pass on them (maybe I'm dumb though and ordered the wrong stock, ha). The inlay quality was good though, and I did like the surface. If thickness was ok, I'd likely go toward a 7/10.
• Spinettis: 9/10 thickness was good, print quality and cut were excellent - best of the bunch, overall surface I'll likely want to test out durability but might rerank later if improved or not over time. Only thing holding me back from a higher score is lack of exposure so far, no negatives.

Note: still have a few more test labels groups coming in, but frankly seeing the Spinettis were enough for me to pull the trigger on the full set. (Thanks @Okku as well for the help!) Less than a week from order to delivery.
