    Does anyone know where to purchases poker chips that can be customised to your specific colour. Im talking about WSOP colours...like mad pink, yellows, green etc...
    I've tried loads of places buy can't seem to get these colours.
    Was wondering if any of ye know of a supplier that would do this. Would be looking to purchase 4000+ chips.

    Very doubtful I'm afraid unless you're willing to just go with a custom colour pattern printed on the chips, custom moulds you will need a minimum order of a good few hundred thousand I'm guessing. You could ask on chiptalk.net, they know their stuff on chips:)

    Are the two links above what you're looking for? I thought you wanted to customise the outer shell, which is a big factory job:o

    I actually thought that the homepokertourny link chips had customised outerness. On second look maybe they don't.

    Four of a kind, if you decide to get ust cusom inserts a DIY job can look pretty good. I printed my own lables and am happy with them.

    Doing something like a custom outer shell would require a set up fee for the machines and would require a custom stamp and everything like that, for 4,000, the fee would probably be worth it, but 4,000 probably wont be enough to actually place an order where somebody will do a custom outer shell:(

    The manufacturers would have to order in the specially coloured material etc for the job. This is info I've heard from manufacturing sources where for example, if the price of aluminium goes up, then poker chip cases may cost an extra 5c per unit etc:rolleyes:

    yeah that nevadajacks.net site seems good. We're just interested in getting nice catchy chip colours with our logo on them. Only thing is shipping costs from the US on 4000+ chips would probably be hugh. I've emailed them to see what the costs are.

    Don't think theres much scope on getting flashy coloured chips around europe for some reason.

    I'd imagine they wont ship that much for less than $400:( So you're looking at over $3,000 for 4,000 chips from Nevada Jacks, plus 21% VAT, about $3,700 give or take, which is just under €3,000!

    Factory minimums are 250,000 per style - so that rules that out.

    The bigger problem is chip sales have been dropping dramatically since late last year as nearly everyone who wants chips has them and we're now into the topping up stage. - So no new designs have come onto the market and many have disappeared

    The easiest way to get something similar to what you're looking for is to get regular chips and get labels printed. We (special days) can print anything whatsoever on label incl photos logos etc.

    As to getting the more unusual chip colours, the US is the best bet, though I will try one of my UK suppliers who had the cardinal range of chips and they had a pink set - 50 grey+pink, 100 Black + Pink, 50 pink + black, 100 white + pink. - All dice design. Can't find a pic anywhere on the web. If this is of interest I can try & get a set ordered in from them. - pm me (we don't normally buy their poker stuff as we purchase direct from factory)
