2026- New Mold Ideas (12 Viewers)

What I would love to see is a hybrid mold (with sticker recess), but with the option to be full face printed like the no mold/card molds.
What are your thoughts on that?

As far as I'm aware the hybrids do have marks from the ejector pins where later the stickers are placed. At least on one side of the chip.
So taking the same molds will not work for printing on the sticker area
The molds would have to be manufactured differently so that the sticker area doesn't have any ejector marks.
Remanufacturing the "old" molds just for this purpose is not really worth it. However one could think about that if a complete new mold is manufactured.

They do have injection marks under the label.

I may be in the minority here, but 39 & 43mm hybrids/non-hybrids with a simple mold like the Wynn charity chips would be right up my alley.

I mean you can already do a no mold hybrid chip 39mm and no mold direct print 43 mm chip. Unless I'm misunderstanding

Thanks for providing the picture. These are exactly the ejector marks I was talking about.
However, don't mix up ejector marks and injection marks.
Ejectors are needed to eject the chip from the mold. While the injection spot(s) is where the liquid plastic "enters the mold". Regarding tinas, this is the little dot on the outer rim.

I dont know…but i think a plain textured mold would be a great option

This texture …but without any design…and the largest label spot available. I think I would just order everything going forward with that option

I made a draft of a mold, maybe I’m biased but I like it
