Customized Poker Chip Labels
Customized Poker Chip LabelsWhy pay hundreds of dollars to have customized poker chips manufactured when can simply add labels to your existing poker chips! You can print poker labels on a laser (preferred) or ink-jet printer or purchase pre-made custom poker chip labels from an online seller. You can stick labels on poker chips that were purchased months or years ago or you can purchase cheap composite chips with the intention of sticking labels on them. If you keep an eye out for good deals, you can buy a set of 500 composite chips (with recessed centers and edge spots!) for about 25¢ each. Add $40 for pre-printed labels and you now have 500 poker chips with custom labels and nice edge spots for $165 or about 33¢ per chip! That compares with about $1 per chip and a couple months wait for customized clay or ceramic chips.The weatherproof labels are easier to peel off than the paper labels but there is some debate as to whether or not they are any better than the paper labels. Many of the professional label printers swear by the paper labels. It is recommended that you do not use Avery labels commonly available at many office supply stores.
Many poker chips can accommodate a 1" label but some chips require a smaller label. The chip that you use for your homemade poker labels must have a recessed (sunken) center area where you can place the label. If the center is not recessed, the label will increase the thickness of each chip, meaning that your chips might not fit in the same racks that they fit in before.
Several blank poker chips are known to have recessed centers and are good choices for sticking on your own labels. The NexGen poker chips are probably the most popular chip for this at this time. The 13 Gram chips and Texas Hold'em chips are also good candidates. Many of the 'Dice' and 'Suited' style chips also have recessed centers.
It will take you quite some time to stick the labels on both sides of your 500 or 1,000 poker chip set. The most time consuming task will be centering the label on the chip. It wouldn't be too bad if you could just peel and stick on the label real quick ... but you will find that it takes a good eye, a steady hand, and plenty of time to properly center and label your chips. If you also want to align your labels so that your edge spots are at the 2, 6, and 10 o'clock positions, it will take even longer!
Labels will change the 'feel' of your chip. When you rub your fingers across your chips, you will feel the label rather than the composite plastic. This may give your chips a 'papery' feel, or a slicker 'vinyl' feel, depending on the type of label used. Keep in mind that paper is generally not as slippery as plastic so your chips might feel a little stickier when sliding on a poker table. Fibers from the poker table felt or cloth will rub against the label, even if recessed, and cause more friction when sliding your chips on the table.
If you do not protect your labels, you will have to replace them after a certain amount of play. The labels will accumulate dirt and eventually begin to stick together. They will tear and rip and players will pick at them with their fingernails. Your labels might last you a couple years if you play infrequently but might last only a tournament or two if you have rough-surfaced tables. You can use a protective spray such as Krylon Satin Fix (Froogle) on your labels to make sure that they don't fade or scratch. You can also use Final Fixatives sprays found at arts or crafts stores. Apply the spray before you place the labels on your chips. Your labels will be water resistant and will last much longer when protected.
If you use your own printer to print labels make sure that you use the 'Labels' paper setting on your laser printer. This will produce a much better and glossier finish. Some people have luck with using ink-jet printers but laser printers are much preferred. Ink-jet print has a tendency to smudge much easier than laser toner.
If you cannot print your own labels, you can send your artwork, by email, to one of the sellers listed below. They will print your labels and mail them to you in an envelope. Some vendors will even assist you in creating your artwork for the label. The cost for 1,000 labels (500 chips) is about $30-$50.

Capone's Customized Poker Chip
Capone's Customized Poker Chip
These are Blue Chip Company chips that have the usual barely disguisable clamshells around the outer border of the chip. They are very similar in style and feel to the Casbah Club chips, even though made by a different manufacturer. Like the Casbah Club, these are nice chips with one drawback, the lack of edge spots.
These chips have gold foil stamping with denominations. The quality of the foil stamping is not quite as good as the Casbah Club chips, the lettering was a little rougher and less refined. I could not scratch the gold foil using my fingernail, even in some of the narrower spots. I could scratch the foil with a knife but it took some gouging. Scratches on the clay were hardly noticeable.

The "Martini Club" Customized Poker Chip
The "Martini Club" Customized Poker Chip
These chips are very similar to the Nevada Jacks. They have sharper edges and appear slightly more refined. They have a bit more of a 'horse head' look and feel to them. They look shinier and feel slicker than the Nevada Jack chips. The colors are also brighter.
These chips come in the correct colors and denominations and have beautiful multi-colored edge spots. These are very nice chips but not quite as nice as the standard Nevada Jack mold. They have a very traditional look and feel to them and I'd be more than happy to own these chips, but I'd rather have the Nevada Jack mold.
The labels could not be removed with a fingernail or knife. There is no chance of the label being punctured or torn. The clay hid scratches very well. These are tough chips.

"High Roller Casino VIP" Customized Poker Chip
"High Roller Casino VIP" Customized Poker Chip
These are 11.5 gram composite chips that are a much higher quality than a typical 11.5 gram composite. The labels are impossible to peel off with a fingernail or a knife. They are difficult to scratch and hide scratches well.
There are four pairs of large stripes, or eight edge spots, depending on how you look at it. The end result is acceptable and quite nice in its simplicity. There are no edge ridges on these chips. I could not find an injection pimple.

Yin Yang Customized Poker Chip
This composite customized poker chip weigh 11.5 grams and have eight stripes instead of edge spots. The inlay is a sticker that is somewhat recessed into the chip. I could not peel the label off with my finger but could with a knife. There is no injection mold spot or edge ridges on this chip. The sound and feel of this chip is somewhat better than a typical 11.5 gram composite. They are a little better in quality but much better in looks and design.
I was only sent one of these chips. The diameter is 40.13mm and the thickness is 3.3mm.
