Custom Label size - CPC Elephant and Crown (1 Viewer)

[Meddler2]

I picked up a nice minty set of Elephant and Crown mold chips awhile back and am contemplating having some custom labels made.
Does anybody know what size diameter and thickness would fit best?
I prefer the feel of PGI textured/laminated labels but don't know if they'd be too thick. Open to suggestions.
Thanks.

I would think you'd be testing fate with even the thinnest of labels. It's pricey, but @Gear's inlay replacement service would be the best option.

yup. If the chips you have are hot stamps, there is no recess. You will have to mill and then label.

Chips have inlay.

Removing the inlays first is definitely your best bet. Labeling over ASM/CPC inlays is pretty much a non-starter as there just isn't enough inlay depth for a label, let alone a laminated one.

Feel free to PM me for a quote. It's probably not as expensive as you might think


PS - diameter is a far less critical factor than inlay depth. I can cut labels to any size.

Sorry, yes I was planning on removing the inlays; not labeling over them.
So do you carry a textured label that will not be too thick for the recess? PGIs are .10ea I think.

Yes, for sure. Once the original inlay is removed there's plenty of room for a textured laminated label.

not to thread jack but how do you remove ASM/CPC inlays?

I believe they can be pried of pretty easily but have not tried myself.
