I’ve been struggling with storage / transport of my main game chips, the 43MM Jacks, and the only 43MM carriers I was able to find were the few offered by Gene at @ABC Gifts and Awards a few weeks ago.

The next option was a normal carrier with Matsui racks, but those racks are so delicate, a small amount of jiggling in the car will throw them off / have them break. Not great for transport.

So, I reached out to one of our manufacturers in China, and had this custom carrier made. Here’s an initial prototype, with a honeycomb interlocking rack system. Should have a couple of test carriers in a few days, will let you know how it turned out!

Do the 43 mm chips fit tightly in those octagon racks?
 
I have some of those octagon racks.

I just purchased an 800 chip set of Royal’s from Apache and I’m looking for racks. Care to share a link to the seller?

btw I would be interested in a cage if you guys decide a group buy.;)
 
What about these from China? For 43mm chips.

Did you ever get these made?
 
I did; they weren’t great.
I keep coming back to this, and I have seen you post pictures of a lot of chips in 1000 chip bird cages sitting all over the floor, so I'm curious if you ever had a bird cage fail or if you ever found a more robust bird cage in the market than just standard acrylic or polycarbonate? Curious how casinos move these things around.

I've got a set that fits into 2x400 chip birdcages that I actually like a lot as they are easy to move around and I don't feel like the weight of them stresses the birdcage at all, but I'm looking to grow the set by ~200 chips and it may need a new home.

I found a more robust birdcage. The best I’ve used.
