Details of Custom Poker Chips
If you want to impress the guests at your next home game and really start to enjoy the finer details of a good game of poker, then a set of custom poker chips is for you. With the explosion in popularity for poker, there are many people who are serious about the game. There are also a large number of businesses who can offer you custom chips and even more styles to choose from. For anyone interested in adding a set of custom poker chips to their game room or looking for a great gift for a poker enthusiast here is some information regarding the many details of custom poker chips.
The first thing you should know about poker chips is what materials
they can be made from. The materials that the chips are made from make
all the difference. You’ will see casino grade clay chips, composite
chips and lower grade plastic chips available. Because the purchase
of a poker set is usually a once in a lifetime buy, the avid poker enthusiast
should invest in a good set of casino grade clay chips.
The labor intensive process involved in making these chips means that they are quite pricey however, so it may not be worth the investment for someone who is a casual player. Composite chips are slightly less expensive chips that have been made by injection molding rather than with compression molds as in the case with clay chips. The main advantage to using a composite chip is its ability to have full face graphics applied which is important depending on the kind of custom chip you want.
Certain options you will find for custom chips include hot stamped initials or designs and inlay labels with graphics, along with variation in colors and denominations. When you order a set of custom chips some manufacturers give out a sample before you confirm your selection.
With these sets you can tell a few things about quality. First you should try to see if you can peel off the inlay label easily to see if it will withstand use for many hands. You should do the same with any hot stamped chips and see if the stamps rub off easily or get dirty when they rub together. With this information you should be able to find a great custom set of chips that will last a lifetime.
