Octagons? (1 Viewer)

[MeridianFC]

Is Sun-Fly the only one that makes ceramic octagons? Chewing on the idea of getting bounty chips made and seeing who does this odd style.

So I guess Sun-Fly is it. Any idea of minimum order for these. I know some folks here have had them made.

The last octagons I've seen were @Ben8257 high denoms to go with his CDI05 set, but that was some time ago.

I saw that @Quicksilver-75 did the Silver Tongue Devil ones which incidentally looking absolutely cool.

Correct

These were made by ABC but we completely ran them out of stock and Gene said never again, they had zero intentions of ordering more blanks.

To my knowledge Sunfly are the only ones still making octagons and I absolutely love them and utilize them in several sets.

The ones in this picture were actually made by sunfly

Advantages of Octagons:

1) they bring a different shape to a very typical set up, introducing new and fun shapes for boh ties or High denoms gives the same excitement if not more that ulatzing larger chips)
2) they take up FAR less space on the table than traditional plaques... (even on a large table our personal space is limited, I love plaques but they can quickly crowd you out... especially on a full table)
3) the compliments... most people that are not chippers don't really give two shits about what kind-of chips they are using... but remember we want to give them "the real casino experience" I guarantee you throw some octagons in they will love them! It's something different!

Negatives
1) storage... they only really fit in one type of 44mm rack made by MSK, I have tried 20 different open and enclosed 43mm racking system and literally almost none of them work.

Good luck woth the decision but I highly recommend Octagons.

One more for fun

A watch case could be a cool storage option for the octagons. It’s what I use for oversized Jetons/plaques. Lots of different sizes on Amazon.

Nice!

Do you know what the MOQ from Sun-Fly is?

 

[Colquhoun]

There's a few sellers on Alibaba offering octagons, custom printed. I wonder if it's something Tina can do.

I got mine from Sunfly, but I piggybacked on someone else's order to save on shipping.

 

[merkong]

Very interesting

I have absolutely no idea the MOQ as I did not run the group buy for the Midnight Casinos and the person that did is not around anymore. But Sunfly does have an account here on the forum @SUN-FLY Poker Chips and I'm sure if you shoot them a PM they could help you out.

FYI just heard back from Sun-Fly. MOQ is 300 pieces. Octagons are $.99/per.
