One popular type of chip is the all clay poker chip. Clay chips are popular because they are usually heavy and they have a soft feel in the hand. Many people think they provide an authentic casino feel. Clay poker chips also have a unique sound when they "clank" together. These all clay poker chips are usually considered to be among the top of the line.
Most "clay" poker chips are actually made from a composite that contains clay. These clay composite poker chips are usually far less expensive than the full clay poker chips and they are available in a wide variety of affordable design choices. You will also find that these clay composite poker chips feel and sound much like the real clay versions, while providing many more options for customization.
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.
Do you have a custom logo or artwork that you would like to put on your poker chips? You can have this done with gold foil hot stamping on one or both sides of your chips. If you already have a design, you can submit it to have a custom die created or you can have a design created for you. Your poker chips can also be custom hot stamped with already existing dies. The most common hot stamping choice is to have denominations stamped into the chips.
For those who want a full color design to customize your poker chips there is another option. With the technology available today you can have custom created, full color, vinyl labels permanently fused to your poker chips. While this option is more expensive than hot stamping, it opens a host of additional options for creating your own custom poker chips.
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.
