Making ceramic poker chips is an art- similiar to making Paulson poker chips--- you cant call Paulson and tell them you want to make chips where did you get your machines?
This is a learned trade- or craft- and a very difficult one at best--and as protected as making the illustrious poker chips used in casinos.
It took us almost 1 1/2 years to hone this trade- and were far from masters yet- but were getting there.
THeres probably 6 components involved- each one a pain in the ass to learn correctly. I wont even go into aligned edges LOL
I wish you luck in your endeavor but unfortunately I cant help.

Do you really think you and a couple of other companies have "the corner" on the market? 1.5 years is all it took for you to learn this trade? WOW! It doesn't sound that hard at all. I just got back from Vegas over the weekend, and I didn't see ANY aligned edge chips at ANY of the casinos. In fact, I would say about 75% of the chips I saw were Paulson's with inlays. Only ceramics I saw were at SOME of the Bally's properties. SO, it sounds like MOST of the printing you are doing is for poker tournaments and private poker rooms.
A learned trade or craft that only takes 1.5 years to learn, doesn't sound that difficult to learn. It sounds like to me that you are affraid someone will come along and "steal" your business, and that must be why you are SOOO unwilling to give ANY information about machines, etc. to someone who asks. Hell, if you think it's so difficult to learn, why not let some sap waste his money trying to figure it out? If it's so hard, maybe he'll fail! EVER THINK OF THAT?! What are you so afraid of?.... Oh yeah, I already pointed that out.
Besides, why would any casino with half a brain purchase chips from a company that also sells geeky-looking 4-wheeled bikes? Not to mention the poorly done web site.
