ive been posting on TH-P for a while now, but for some reason i have never asked this...i was wondering what people use for chipco mockups? i know people use photoshop for a lot of chip mockups but the chipcos are different because they all look like the same mockup page but with completely different designs...anyone know?

I'm pretty sure that chipco requires Illustrator (vector) instead of photoshop. However, I cannot answer your question of where people get that template. You could probably just email homepokerchips.com and get one or "blank" someone elses'.

there is no template, whenever you see a Chipco mockup is most likely done by Chipco themselves or by a Chipco vendor like HomePokerChips.com.

They def prefer vector art at homepokerchips.com.

The use the adobe illustrator format. I did a fair amount of the initial design on my chips with CorelDRAW Essentials 2. It is about $60 vs $600 for Illustrator. Since I didn't have a vector drawing program already it was an obvious choice.

Definitely use a vector graphics program if possible preferably AI 8.0.

FYI - Chip Design FAQ for custom Chipcos... Here's a link to the pdf file.

The pdf lists the print area so you could use that as a reference.
