You’ve probably heard of the clay poker chip. This is the one that causes the most excitement in the world of poker chips.

There are many more options available in these chips where design and customization are concerned. You also have different choices in chip weight so you can find the ones that are just right for your preferences.

For the widest variety of design options and customization choices you should choose composite resin poker chips. Because this style of chips is more affordable than the other styles you can create customized versions for less than the cost of the non-customized clay or clay composite chips, in many cases. Don’t be fooled, these chips maintain very good quality and even weigh in around 11.5 grams each to give a great feel in your hand.

What type of designs appeals to you? You can find designs that are full color and very fancy to designs that are nothing more than the impression of a series of diamond shapes around the edge of the chips, without any color. The choices available to you will be determined, somewhat, based on the type of poker chips you choose.

Using a heated die with a design, such as a dollar amount, to fuse a gold foil design into a poker chip is known as hot stamping. This option is inexpensive and is widely available. You can even have custom dies made to imprint your own custom logo or artwork onto your poker chips. This could be a great way to promote your business. The only real design limitation to hot stamping is that it only provides a single color design.

Another way to customize your poker chips is with labels, also known as vinyl inlays. This allows you to customize your chips with full color designs. The possibilities of the designs that can be created are only limited by your imagination. These vinyl inlays are attached using technology that makes them a permanent part of the chip. You don’t have to worry about them peeling off and, because they are vinyl, they are water resistant.

As you can see, the options available in selecting poker chips are nearly limitless. This can make it very challenging to decide what to purchase. By making a couple of initial choices, such as whether you want clay poker chips, clay composite chips or composite resin poker chips and whether you want chips that can be customized, you will narrow your choices considerably, making it easier to decide. Whatever choice you make, you are sure to enjoy your selection for years to come.
