I am considering putting custom labels on my new paulson jb's and would be interested in using the following design.



My concern is whether the tophat and cane are okay to use. The "P" is my first initial, but could also stand for Paulson.

Does anyone have a sense of whether the Paulson people would or would not be okay with my having 600 of their chips with this design, so long as they were used for private games with no entry fee charged? ...or know who I could contact to ask for permission?

I don't see any reason why you can't relabel your chips anyway you want. But then I again I can't see your image either

They're your labels, so as long as they aren't for sale, I can't see paulson even glancing your way!

For the money you spent on the Paulsons, why would you want to cover up the inlays on them? IMOP I think that might look a little tacky, but there your chips, just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your feedback. You're absolutely right. In the past week, I have come to agree that covering up the inlays would be tacky.

That said, I intend to use the blue ($1) chips as T10 in a 5-25-100-500 tournament setup and as T50 in a 25-100-500-1000 setup. While many people do not use T10 and T50 chips, doing so will allow me to have 400 units of the bottom denomination with only 260 chips (120 of bottom denomination and 140 chips of double the bottom denomination).

So it's back to the drawing board for a label design to use for the 140 blue chips.

I have to agree that it probably isn't the best idea to cover up Paulsons with a label. If you really want customs, there are a lot better choices out there. Granted, they won't be Paulson's, but I think they will look better than a Paulson with a label over the inlay. Good luck.

I'm sorry,
but WHERE do people get the idea of buying chips like Paulsons (or any other high quality expensive chip) only to put their own labels on them? That's just wrong ... very very wrong. I'm glad you've reconsidered and backed off that idea ... but like people have said, THEY ARE YOUR CHIPS and you can do whatever you like to them ...

So if I did have the audacity to relabel one of the colors into a nondenominational chip, what sort of labels would be the best to use?

It sounds like from what you're saying that you feel no labels will even come close to the original ones. I agree that nothing stuck onto the chip after the manufacturing process will turn out as nice as the real thing. But are all custom labels, across the board, really poor in quality and durability, or are there good ones too?
