I host a monthly tournament home game between friends and am looking to upgrade my tournament chips to custom ones because the labels on the ones I currently use have started to chip a ton and leave white residue all over my black felt. My budget is ideally less than $500.
Some info about the tournament-
10 Players total. Structure: $6k starting $25x8, $100x8, $500x 6, $1000x2 for a total of 24 chips starting per player. Typically around 5-10 rebuys.
I would estimate I need 500 chips total with the breakdown of $25x100, $100x200, $500x100, $1000x100. (I chip up the $25s after the first break)
I don't have a strong preference towards chip type either way so after researching it seems that ceramics would be the better option as they are significantly cheaper as custom chips, and it seems that ABC is the most often recommended seller for this type.
My questions are as follows: From what I've read the entire chip is designed, not just the center. Does this mean if I want the denomination printed on the chip I would need to create 4 separate designs? Would this cost me 4x as much? Are the designs printed on a base colored chip or is the color part of the design? (I.E. Red for $5 chips) Are there any other obvious questions I am missing?
