Better question is 'When is a chip considered a ceramic chip vs a plastic chip?'. Both use injection-molding equipment, with some significant differences in process and materials.

But the biggest differences between clay and ceramics is not only the materials used, but the way they are manufactured. Ceramics are injection-molded into shape, then dye-sub printed on the face and rolling edges. Clay chips are die-cut into shape from a sheet of soft pre-prepared material, and then compression-molded into shape with high temperature and high pressure.

Very closely guarded trade secrets. From start to finish, from ingredients to colors. I doubt you'de find such a video.

I did a search but couldn’t find much on this.... any good source or thread about the difference between ceramic and plastic?

The 43mm SunFly Hybrids are awesome, but I was surprised how ‘plasticky’ they were, not what I had in mind from any ceramics I’ve ever had. Although my ceramic experience was pretty much limited to Nevada jack skulls I had, a few sample sets, and all the casino chipcos ive collected over the years

I have done ceramic dye-sub chips from CPC for the cigar store. It has been about 18 months of use and no fading or wear noticable. They held up very well. I myself own Sun-Fly Hybrids from OWPS. I absolutely love these chips and wish I could get more. Neither set has spinners and I can stack 150 high with no problem.

Clay's are the classic casino chip. They will wear on the edges and cleaning is required periodically which is a bit of a pain. But hey! It's casino quality.
