What is the standard of quality?
DuraChip™ poker chips outshine ordinary poker chips. DuraChip™ poker chips are very durable and are the only composite poker chips on the market that feature direct printing of your design. The composite poker chips weigh 12.5 g, are 3-part molded and have a metal core.
The poker chips are printed with patented Integrated Print Technology™. High resolution and durable print quality that does not bleach or fade.

How are these different to other poker chips?
The poker chips are made in the USA – by the former manufacturer of the legendary Bud Jones poker chips. Your design is printed directly onto the poker chips. We use no inlays, stickers or labels. So your design cannot be peeled off or removed, making it permanent.
What do I need to consider as a poker tournament organizer?
You cannot afford to compromise on security – fraud damages your reputation and standing. We offer casinos, poker rooms and poker tournament organizers special security features: Serial Numbers as well as Security Imprint (only visible under UV light).
Conventional sticker versions can very easily be forged. The blanks are available practically everywhere and the stickers can easily be copied. The sticker versions' feel is not ideal either. Stack of chips are wobbly and over time the sticker can come off or be easily removed with a fingernail.
The hot stamping process presents a similar danger. The blanks for these are also widely available and the hot stamp can be forged with pad printing or stamps. Furthermore, the hot stamp comes away from the poker chip with time.
DuraChip™ poker chips are very durable and the only direct-printed composite poker chips on the market.
Ceramic poker chips offer printing of the entire surface and the edging. These are very expensive in comparison to our DuraChip™ poker chips. The material used for ceramic poker chips is breakable and the edges can split over time. The price/performance ratio for DuraChip™ poker chips is significantly better.

How many poker chips are needed for poker?
Four different poker chip colors or denominations are sufficient for the ideal collection. The quantity of each poker chip colors should differ, i.e. there should be more poker chips with low denominations than with high denominations. The ideal allocation of poker chips is 4/3/2/1. The interval between the denominations should be calculated with a factor of 5.
Here is an example for a maximum 10 players and with a starting stack of 10,000 per player.
| Chip Color | Denom. |
1 Player |
10 Players |
Total |
| Green | 25 |
20 |

| Black | 100 |

| Purple | 500 |

| Yellow | 1,000 |
5 |
50 |

| Total | 46 |
460 |
500 |
This distribution ensures that each player has a sufficient number of poker chips and that the poker tournament starts off with a good starting stack. This might help prevent the need for players to change poker chips with high denominations for those with lower denominations during the poker game.

- Selection of poker chip colors:
grey, red, green, blue, black, purple, yellow, pink, orange - Printing the poker chips using patented Integrated Print Technology™

Comments: You can use 2 designs of your choice. That can be front and back site or one series with design x and one series with design y (Main-Event/Sit & Go). Normally, one design for all poker chips is adequate. Most customers then choose the 'Denomination' option to additionally differentiate the poker chips by the color of the edges.
Example: 2 designs
What does the 'Denomination' option include?
Additional charge for denomination
Same design, different denominations
Example denominations: 5, 25, 100, 500, 1,000
(the color of the design may be adapted to the edge color)
Comments: This is the most often used option. You have one design and want to differentiate the poker chips using values. Additionally, you can adapt the design to the edge color with this option. In the example, the background has been adapted to match the edge color.
Example: Denomination
What does the 'Additional Designs' option include?
Additional charge
for each additional design
e.g. each type of poker chip with unique design and denomination
(2 designs are already included in the basic price)
Comments: If you would like to use a completely different design for each poker chip color, this option can be chosen. The denomination in the additional design is included in the additional charge. This option covers both the additional design and the denomination. The example shows 2 additional designs – 2 designs are included in the basic price.
Why is the VAT not included in the quote?
Your poker chips are sent directly from the manufacturer in the USA to you. In the case of imports, VAT is levied by customs and the receiver is charged. Deliveries to EU countries are duty-free. For deliveries to Switzerland, the Customs Office collects duties in the amount of CHF 0.53/kg. Delivery terms: DDU, Incoterms 2000.
Generally, the post assumes the collection of VAT at the handover of the delivery to the recipient and may require an additional service fee.
