If you want custom clay chips, there are only two left: Blue Chip Co, and ASM (rest in peace TR King).
Ceramics are available from a lot of vendors. Chipco from HomePokerChips, Nevada Jacks, BR Pro, ABC Gifts & Awards, Palm Imports. |

There are a lot of answers to that question.
What kind of chips do you want (clay/ceramic)?
How many do you want?
What is your budget?
Do you have a design already or do you need someone to design it?
In general, for custom clays, your only practical option right now is pokerchips.com at 90¢ to $1.25 or so per chip. There are some chinese made clay chips that will avaiable soon for significantly less.
For ceramics, there are several options; it seems like more any day. I have always liked the chipco chips from homepokerchips.com, but they are clearly the most expensive option at about $1 per chip plus art charges. Several manufacturers that advertise on this forum make excellent ceramics for a lot less.
Browse the custom chip gallery and see what you like. Then come back and ask questions. You'll find out that this is a pretty friendly place.

Welcome to the site friend. Read the great article on this site about Clay vs. Ceramic, and figure out your price range. Then you can go forward. I can tell you that true clay are really cool and ceramic can make some awesome designs that cannot be done on the clays. Good luck. |

I think ASM (aka pokerchips.com) includes copies of Bluff in their orders. I know I got a couple of magazines with my chips but can't remember offhand if they were Bluff or another one. 99% sure it was Bluff though.

Everytime I receive an order from ASM, they include at least 3 to 5 copies of the magazine.
Matt, as managing editor of Bluff, wouldn't it be great if you had a monthly feature on all of chiptalk members custom chips! Cool!
Might want to add that I've purchased a few thousand custom ASM chips and cannot be happier. |

This is a remarkable post, at least to me. Here's this guy, editor of one of the leading poker magazines, and he turns to Chiptalk for advice on what and where to buy. I'm not sure what it speaks to more, the fact that many folks in the trade aren't already better versed on chips, or the fact that many folks in the trade know to look here for "versing" on chips.
