CPC Hotstamp pricing question (1 Viewer)

[JustDave]

Maybe I'm just bad at reading, but I don't understand the price to get something hot stamped:
http://www.classicpokerchips.com/pokerchips/realclay/hotstamps.htm

If anyone has had a set of hotstamps made maybe you can help me out here.

It's between 100-150$ to get a custom die made. If I wanted 5 denominations is that 5 different custom dies?

They show fractional stock dies with lettering around it. Is that lettering a custom die or something else? If you get a custom die made as a ring to go around that frac can they use the custom outer and just change the inside for different denominations?

Thanks,
Dave

Each denomination is its own die.

one option is to create a die for your name/branding without a denomination. Apply that stamp to one side of every chip. Then use the standard denomination stamps on the other side.

This path will get you out the door only needing to buy one die… you likely don’t like this option… I don’t blame you.

BTW… those fractional stock dies were created as part of a group buy here on PCF. The dies were then donated to CPC for the purpose of allowing others to use them.

The dies will look like these. Each denom will be made with whatever text you have around it.

Sorry for the threadjack,
OMG! I think the mystery of the square on some hotstamp chips may have been solved!
Here’s a photo of the issue:

Those squares look oddly like the size of the square dies in your photo. I always felt that the square area looked “melted”. Could it be when the chips were hotstamped, the outer edge of the die was to hot or too close and made the mark?
There’s another thread from @DZPoker with the same issue here:

It would have to be a thin strip of foil to not transfer onto the chip when that happened. But it does look like the right size.

Thanks, this is really insightful. I supposed it was a multipart mold with them able to keep the outer ring the same and switch out the inner denom, but it looks like a single mold per denom.

Depth of knowledge here never ceases to amaze me.

The real question is why is there the outline of the square die, but no hot stamp of the denomination

There was a hotstamp, I milled them off.
