I know some people at this club I play at that finally got their chips with hot stamps in. As soon as I saw them they looked familiar to the 401 series from The Poker Chip Company. They are a solid color with 4 dragons going around the out perimeter of the chip (in fact, I'm positive they are the ones). Not even sure where they got them from, but they had them hot stamped somewhere else. Anyhow most of the chips are fractured we believe due to the hot stamping/process. No suprise to me, that chip is very soft and light. You can see the chip at the Poker Chip Company website where a hot stamp is done. Obviously they know how to get the hot stamp on without it fracturing the chip.

I tried looking for some reviews on the chip and found none. Even tried searching and still nothing. Was wondering what you guys know about the chip? So far what I know is the chip is soft (you can dig your finger nail in the chip easy), on the light side (they say 4grams on the website, but that can't be), probably around 8-9grams, decent texture and pretty flat so they should stack well, not very expensive. If there isn't a review on the chip I might do one if people are interested.

So I'm going to see what other options for a decent, but inexpensive chip they can go with. Can Faux Clays be hot stamped? Maybe some 10g Soprano's? They don't want to spend a lot of money since they need like 2000 chips.

Thanks

Faux Clays and Super Diamonds can both be hot stamped. I ordered 1500 Super Diamonds stamped differently on each side (costs a little more) for my poker club and the cost with shipping was $315. The chip itself is .06/chip hot stamping both sides the same makes it .10/chip and having a different stamp on each side makes it .14/chip.

I should be getting them tomorrow and can post pics.

That would be great, never seen a Faux clay stamped before. Are you just stamping the denom or more than that? I bought some super diamond chips many many years ago and they seem a tad light and slippery. What you think of them vs. the Faux clay?

Thanks

I've never dealt with faux clay but when I was looking for opinions on faux clay vs. super diamond from members here, most favored the super diamonds.
There is a custom logo on one side and denomination on the other side so it cost $0.14 per chip. Plus $50 setup fee for the custom stamp.

They just came today, here's a good pic of the custom side stamp.

Is that a bulldog? I think hot stamps look good on solid colors and if there is writing uncircling the chip then it's OK on egde spots.

Yes, our college's mascot is a bulldog, so I modified an old mascot logo to be the hot stamp. I love how they turned out, solid with hotstamps looks really good. There are more pictures in a thread I started in the gallery. I got these from www.viptrade.com.
