Play In Style With Customized Poker Chips

By Flossie Gibbs


Playing cards have been around for centuries. While in recent years the development of online casinos has meant more people have played electronic versions of classic card games there is still something irreplaceable about playing together in a room, whether in a casino or at home. If you want to create your own individual calling card for your game night you might want to think about getting your own customized poker chips.

Before you order your set you ought to think about what kind you want. Some want the specific casino style ones because they make a distinctive click sound as you lay the bet down. For some this is a good way of recreating the thrill and style of a celebrity tournament.

Equally some people like it as something that helps them feel in control of their game. It is a similar thing to having a lucky scarf or hat. Poker is as much about psychology as it is about the skill playing with the cards and placing bets, so anything that can help give you an edge can make all the difference.

Another good reason is that they make great gifts. It is a smart way of combining interests. For example you might know someone who really likes poker but also really likes classic cars or a favourite movie star. With a custom design you can find them something that they will personally treasure each time they play.

They also work well as gifts. There is usually at least someone out there who is difficult to buy for. If you know they enjoy poker and know something that they are passionate about it is a good way of combining a couple of things they like together. For example if someone likes comic books and playing poker then you could get chips with their favourite comic book characters on them.

When you first contact a company make sure you have a high resolution image that fits the design parameters the company sets. The danger of using lower resolution images is that they come out looking fuzzy. If you are using these for promotional purposes then they have to look as slick and as polished as possible. Even if you are only using it at home it is still a good idea to make them look as presentable as possible because most companies will not accept refunds on a low resolution picture that does not come out right, especially if they warn you beforehand. Also remember to make sure they fit the size of the design too.

When approaching a company look to see what they offer, both in terms of price and the kind of products they have available. Some may have labels that you can stick onto chips while others may put the designs directly on to them. While labels may be a more affordable option there is the danger of them, not sticking if you do not apply them properly.

You can find a number of companies that do customized poker chips. Look online so that you can compare their work and quotes as well as checking customer reviews and feedback to see what companies provide the most customer satisfaction. And even if poker is not your game they still make terrific gifts!
