Will BR Pro ever offer actual molds? (1 Viewer)

I haven't found anything in the archives about this. Do you think? BR Pro will ever offer actual moves like Tina does?

I love BR Pro's quality and service. I also like the Tina hybrids. Just wondering if that may ever come to the states?

If they do hybrids, they would need to do labels as well. They used to print labels, but sold off everything a few years ago.
I wonder if they’re willing to get back into that again.

There certainly is an opportunity for them

Yes I remember when they sold that off. I mean Tina is great. Don't get me wrong. The hybrid chips are outstanding in my opinion. They almost have a clay sound to them. It's just a game changer. I think if BR would get into that my goodness! They would be flooded

By the way, the angry duck tournament chips are being produced by BR Pro as we speak!

You could always design a mold for printing; obviously, you're not going to feel it.

Yeah I've seen sets with a printed mold. They look really nice but I actually would like a real mold. Totally changes the feel of the chip

I’ve been wondering this myself. I’d happily go the BRPro route, love their quality, but no mold options and the sizable cost of aligned edge spots limits things for me.

Seems like there is a big opportunity for them should they see the investment into new molds and options as worthwhile…

These are AWESOME btw!! I hadn’t really thought of that. That’s epic! How difficult is the design of these faux mold patterns into the artwork?

I’ve done a number of them, I can PM you some examples later tonight.

@BR Pro Poker let's tag them and see what they have to say

Doing the faux mold isn't too hard to do it at all. @Colquhoun helped me the first time and then I figured out how to do it myself.

That’d be great, thanks Colquhoun! I’d really appreciate that!

Thanks for tagging BRPro, Okku. I think it’s a valid question, as their quality, attention to detail, and respect for designer’s artwork is unmatched for ceramics. Maybe I’m just speaking for myself, but I’d argue that many chippers would happily pay the premium over Tina for BRPro quality and customer service if more offerings were available.
