Easiest custom sets? (1 Viewer)

[Pgheddie]

I am not at all artistically inclined. I am just wondering for those vendors that provide custom chips, which is the easiest to design and execute ? I prefer ceramic chips, but the ease of getting my own design on a chip would likely trump all other considerations.

What I am thinking of would not work on a semi custom chip.

Your idea certainly has merit...

You are going to need the help of someone that knows a little about both art and the art of putting art onto poker chips. There are several guys here including j5 & timinator and others that do this on a regular basis. Snoop around a little and see if you can find some chips that someone has already designed that you like. It might be a good start to start with someone that has designed something in the past that you like.

Ceramics offer the most flexibility for customization, by far.

Flexibility.... is that the same as easy? Or does it mean I can do more and more complicated things? I don't want to do anything complicated.

Not really..
On a ceramic chip you can use the entire face of the chip for your art. On a Compression molded chip there is at the very least some unusable area on the face of the chips so that is 1 issue and another is that depending on what type of chip you might also be limited to what edge spots or mold you are allowed to use. With Ceramics, there is none of this sort of limitation.

Sounds like you should consider hiring an inlay artist. We have quite a few here, and we keep them busy. Instead of tagging them all once again, check here:

Once you have the artwork files, ordering any custom chips is pretty easy.
