Starting Stack Tubes (3 Viewers)

Well I know those plastic tubes are a solid option I just finished designing and Kickstarter my own take on starting stackss tube Starting aluminum tubes.
I gotta ask... You go to all the trouble to design these and film that promotional video. For God's sake, why did you film it with dice chips???

Have you confirmed that CPC chips will fit in them? You know they are a bit wider than Paulsons.
 
Because he's new here and doesn't yet know the disdain we have for dice chips. Take it easy on him. He will soon understand.

They most assuredly do not fit CPCs.

Sorry about the blurry pic. CPC samplers clearly are too big. The chips that are in the tube are BR Pro customs fwiw.

I am learning promise. Here is a picture with my Monte Carlo my regular tournament chips (I know still some low end chips but that's all the flex I got). I did the promo with dice because I had big ambition that this was more than a niche product and maybe the general public would get on board. So I offered some sets with chips. The only chips I could get at a reasonable price were the dreaded dice chips. I didn't want my Monte Carlo in the video and then ppl upset when I sent them dice chips. As for the CPC question I sent some prototypes to Jeff *suited67* who has been here in PCF since the beginning and am hoping he tests his extensive collection and will let me know what fits. So I ask for forgiveness on the dice chips. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video.

I literally posted pics of CPC sample chips not fitting. The size of CPC chips is uniform. They won’t fit. I also have multiple sets of Paulson’s, some janky ass claysmith chips and a set of BR Pros. They all fit the tubes just fine. If my pics aren’t proof enough for ya…well, you’re not learning as fast as you could be.

I thought he was asking about the aluminum tube set on Kickstarter. Not the plastic once that you picture. I do not doubt your picture or that they don't fit in those.

I know im already in!!! (10 tube holder with peekaboo slashes plz)

These pill bottles are going to be < $8 / 10 person setup when wacked up between some pcf bros. I'm going to do the smallest min buy in 10 of these in 2 smallest chips (maybe 1 big chip) and then racks of bigger chips for larger than mine buyin, rebuys and top ups.

You're talking about the clear tubes. We are talking about the aluminum ones in his Kickstarter...

Ahh, my bad. Sorry, too many conversations going at the same time.

Thanks for the laugh @NotRealNameNoSir. Reminded me I need to update this now that I have over 160 tubes in stock.

They both fit 43mm IHC. Neither fit 44mm Chipco fully. It'll go into the mouth of the 60 dram but not go to the bottom. So it can fit a few.

Anyone from Australia (or possible NZ) have some local starting stack tube options / suggestions?
Uline / Visipak doesnt seem to be an option for here. I have tried seaching for 60 dram bottles and havent had any luck.
 
How many tubes are you looking for? I sell the Uline/visipak Tubes have a brother in NZ I send care packages to. I could possibly include an order is his next package or I could just ship directly to you. It's 1$ per tube that includes cap. I know an 8x8x8 box cost me 40$ shipping and 16x16x8 cost me about 65$. If you want enough then the price per unit won't be too bad for you.
 
This is kind of nice. Put them on each table before tourney starts.
I used to have two tables worth of chips set out. Buyin, pick a tube, and your seat is on the underside of the cap.

But then you end up picking them all up off the floor at the end of the night.

I do the exact same thing but I pickup the tubes and gather everyone's buyin AFTER they are seated. Goes smooth and everyone knows the process.
 
Or go the cheap version if you don't need to start with a boatload of chips: using Walgreen's pill tubes (or equivalent)...

Went to a few Walgreen stores and asked if they could give out some for free until I got the total amount I wanted. Most said yes. :)
(Prefer the Walgreens screw tops vs. the CVS pop tops, plus the Walgreens tubes (with lid) hold a few more chips).
The short ones (PM-30) hold up to 25 chips and the large ones (PM-60), shown above, hold up to 43 chips.
Easy to snap off the child proofing, affix a custom label on top, and add a colored and numbered label on the bottom (designating Table and Seat assignment). Works great!
:)

Cheers for the suggestion. Looks like a good combo in the rack there, nice 👌.
I need about 16x that will fit 36 chip starting stack. I have learnt quite quickly that shipping to Aus and exchange rate is harsh in this poker chip game!
I will have a bit more of a hunt around locally just for now 👍.

Yeah i have tried to source something local for these ones. You got them for the right price there! We dont have Walgreens, but we do have Chemist Warehouse that might be similar equivalent. I might just have to visit a store as I cant find any on their website.
