Clay Poker
Sorting Through the Options When Buying Poker Chips by Matthew Sagehouse
With so many choices available in poker chips these days, how is anyone supposed to make a decision about which ones to buy? Some of them are so fancy that are even collectable. How ever you plan to use you poker chips, there is probably a style and design that is just right.
You’ve probably heard of the clay Poker Chip. This is the one that causes the most excitement in the world of poker chips. Many enthusiasts will settle for nothing less because all clay poker chips are considered to be the best. You will find that this type of chip is the most expensive among your options. Many people like the sound and the soft feel that are unique to clay poker chips. These chips make really nice gifts for that special poker player in you life.
If you like the feel and the sound of clay poker chips but are more budget minded then there is another option for you. Clay composite chips maintain some of the soft feel of clay chips and even sound similar but tend to cost a lot less. 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.
In each category of poker chip mentioned above you have multiple choices of design to choose from. Some of them may be simple with a pattern around the edge, such as the different suits in a deck of cards, or very fancy with full color designs printed on them, with or without dollar amounts. You should be able to find a design that is just right for you.
One of the most popular ways to customize poker chips is hot stamping. This is the process of using a hot stamping press to literally melt a foil design into a chip, providing a permanent impression. You can choose to have various denominations, wording or initials stamped on your poker chips. Another option is to have custom dies made for hot stamping your chips. The possibilities are almost endless. Remember, that there is usually a delay when you choose to hot stamp chips, because they are custom made to order.
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.
The process of choosing poker chips can become overwhelming simply because there are so many choices. If break it down into a few simple choices, you will find that your selection becomes much easier. After you have determined what type of poker chips you would like then you can begin to choose a design and how you might like to customize your poker chips. Soon you will find yourself with the perfect set of poker chips to suit your own preferences, or perhaps, the preferences of someone special in your life.
