Thanks for all the tips.

To clarify... the labels shown in the picture are only hand cut samples while I try and figure out what I want. I am going ot have them printed by someone else. I've gotten sample labels from bestpokerchiplabels.com and they seem like a quality label. They are a vinyl label. I've put them through some abuse (eg. repeatedly scratching and wetting them) and they haven't shown any wear and they stick pretty well. I know most people on the site like Jason for labels but I haven't recieved any samples after a couple attempts. He might just be really busy.

One note about bestpoker labels, they cut each label after printing. I know some people are looking at scalloped labels. That might be another source for them. I asked them about the shaped labels and they responded that they try and discourage people form them because the edges are caught easier by nails and such. He hasn't given me what the price difference would be but when I find out, I will put up a post.

As far as the denominations, I would like to keep the set I have as open as possible but keep it within the standard color denoms as well. The set I have is as follows:

400 Purple
300 White
200 Red
100 Blue
100 Green
60 Black
200 Yellow

Based on that, I don't think I can make the blues 25¢ without buying more. Would it be okay to make the purples NCV and use them as 25¢ when needed, leaving it open to use them as $500 also?

I won a set of them and purchased a few more chips after reading a bit on this site. Seeing that most people recommend a 4-3-2-1 ratio in chips, I bought some purple and yellow. I know that there are a lot of chips in the set already but do youthink there is a need for say more black?

Again...thanks for all your help so far!
