Nanuk 910 = 400 chip perfection (2 Viewers)

[Benniffer]

Just wanted to share my Nanuk 910 chip case. This thread was a huge inspiration towards getting what I believe is the best chip storage option for a T5 tournament set.

Literally has the perfect amount of storage for 340 chips (100x$5, 100x$25, 70x$100, 50x$500, 20x$1000), two decks of cards, big and small blind buttons, dealer button, and card protector token.

Thank you all for the discussion and examples shared in this thread. It was very valuable for somebody who just started getting nicer chips (I've had dice chips all my life until just recently).

For my babies - 800 chips in Justin racks in my Nanuk 915 with a strap.

If you took out the foam in the middle, would you be able to squeeze in a deck of cards?

Thanks! I grabbed a color I didn’t already have - bright yellow.

Thanks. I grabbed two green ones.

Planning to use my incoming Nanuk with a pending Tina order. The case is outstanding for my 700 chip grail set, should hold 400 Tina hybrids well enough!

 

[OneGearManySpeeds]

Wow these cases came next day delivery. Testing them with 8 racks. Using the small layer of foam on the bottom and placing it in the lid only, makes for a really tight fit but it closes. Should I be concerned about the chips being directly up against this foam? What should I use in the lid?

I’ve not plucked the foam yet. Just testing the height

Do you have photos of the insert for cards? Did you buy that or is it 3d printed?

 

[BirdCage]

PCF member @One Eyed Dollar ran a 3D printing business for some time. I got a couple from him. They are perfect compliments to the Nanuk cases.

Another pic.

Also, @One Eyed Dollar did provide design files for some of his creations - info here.

Two days later…yellow pops!!!

In inspiration of all the cool examples here, I got myself a Nanuk 910 and converted it for a T20k 6-8 handed case. It fits 340 chips, a deck as well as a dealer button. Overall I am very happy and somehow is also something special besides the standard poker cases. Thanks for the great tips and keep up the good work in this community

Hello, where did you get these racks from, they fit perfectly?

 

[BirdCage]

With foam plucked and trimmed plus racks inserted. Ready to roll.

P.S. Nearly all standard size racks will work in this case - from genuine Paulson to cheap Amazon or Brybelly.

 

[MatB]

Love this case.

Pretty versatile. Love how compact it is

If doing a 1200 chip set ( in 2 weeks). I'll go with 600 in each case

If a small 800 set is needed. Can do 1 case with 800
It’s a little more snug and you have to push down with a little more pressure to close the case. But seems to be ok and @CraigT78 hasnt had any trouble traveling with 800 chips this way.

 

[GreekRedEye]

Should I be concerned about the chips being directly up against this foam? What should I use in the lid?

I use Justin racks and I leave the factory foam in the lid. I've stored chips this way for over a year. The tight fit has caused no damage to the chips, case, or racks.

Oops, I did it again

Thinking this was ll be my new storage method.

Each set gets its own color case

Awesome and high-level OCD accomplishment.

You’ve got to add weights for each. That filled 920 could wreck some shoulders for sure.

Yes! This is the way

Extra points for getting the cute dog in photo!!

So, with vertical racks for max packing, it's essentially 6 x 39 mm racks and nothing else or 5 racks with stuff (card sets, dealer button etc) ?

Vertical you can do 7 racks easily. ( 39mm Justin racks)

I split into 600 per case

Do you feel that you need a covered rack or foam in between the layers to stack them horizontal rather than vertical? I'm trying to figure out how to store 500-600 chips in this case and if I can use an open rack or need to get covered racks. I'm planning on getting ceramic chips. So far, two layers of horizontally stacked racks seems the easiest over vertical stacks w/ covered racks.

Not sure how regular Paulson racks will stack. I can investigate.

Currently using Justin racks. They work great

 

[MatB]

Paulson racks are too tall
