Custom Ceramic Poker Chips

CTSOK Custom Ceramic Poker Chips are designed for projects that require greater graphic freedom than a conventional chip with a limited center label. Their ceramic construction supports full-color heat-transfer printing across the visible surface, allowing the face design and edge artwork to be developed as one continuous visual system.

The pictured design uses eight triangular edge spots distributed around each round chip. These areas are integrated into the printed artwork rather than being separate molded inserts. Different color combinations distinguish the denominations, while the central Poker Room layout, emblem, typography, and No Cash Value statement remain consistent across the set.

The displayed series includes values of 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000. These values are presented as internal game or tournament denominations rather than currency because the artwork explicitly states No Cash Value.

This product can be supplied as a standard visual ceramic chip or upgraded with project-specific security options. Available configurations include RFID inlays, UV-verifiable printing, laser-etched serial numbers, and holographic labels. The selected combination depends on whether the chips are intended for tournaments, entertainment venues, casino operations, VIP rooms, product demonstrations, or connected CTSOK management projects.

Full-Surface Ceramic Printing

The main advantage of this product is the amount of printable space available.

Instead of restricting the graphic design to a circular center label, the artwork can extend from the center of the chip to its outer edge. This allows CTSOK to coordinate several elements within one design:

• Casino or poker room logo

• Tournament identity

• Denomination number

• Brand colors

• Background textures

• Decorative graphics

• Edge text

• Security wording

• No Cash Value marking

• Denomination-specific edge patterns

Heat-transfer printing is used to apply full-color graphics to the ceramic surface. This process supports detailed artwork and allows different denominations to share the same layout while using different colors and numbers.

Single-Piece Ceramic Construction

The chip uses a single-piece ceramic body.

Unlike products that rely on a separate adhesive label or laminated face layer, the visual design is applied directly to the ceramic surface. This keeps the face and edge artwork visually connected and avoids treating the center artwork as an unrelated insert.

The single-piece format is particularly suitable for projects that need:

• Continuous face-to-edge artwork

• Detailed multicolor patterns

• Individual denomination designs

• Custom edge text

• Coordinated tournament sets

• Clear casino or club branding

Ceramic chips also provide a smooth, firm handling feel. Final texture, finish, thickness, diameter, and weight should be selected during product confirmation rather than inferred only from the product image.

Eight Triangular Edge-Spot Design

The pictured version uses eight triangular edge sections arranged at regular intervals around the chip.

These printed areas form a recognizable geometric pattern on both the face and the outer edge. When chips are stacked, parts of the color pattern remain visible from the side, helping distinguish the set from plain-edge ceramic chips.

The eight-spot arrangement also provides space for combining several colors within one denomination. In the sample series, some chips use contrasting edge sections to separate their values while retaining the same overall design language.

This edge format can be customized through:

• Number of colors

• Main body color

• Triangle color sequence

• Repeated symbols

• Edge text

• Security graphics

• Denomination-specific combinations

The triangular edge spots are primarily a visual and denomination-recognition feature. Electronic identification requires a separately specified RFID inlay.

Coordinated Multi-Denomination Series

The sample image shows a six-value ceramic chip set:

• 50

• 100

• 500

• 1,000

• 5,000

• 10,000

Each value uses a different color structure, making it easier to separate the denominations during sorting, tournament preparation, chip distribution, and table operation.

CTSOK can also develop wider denomination ranges. Available values can include:

• 1

• 5

• 25

• 50

• 100

• 500

• 1,000

• 5,000

• 10,000

• 25,000

• 50,000

• 100,000

• Custom project values

The selected denominations do not need to follow one fixed series. They should be planned according to the game format, table limits, tournament blind structure, starting stacks, expected participant count, and replacement requirements.

No Cash Value Configuration

The sample artwork includes a visible No Cash Value statement beneath the denomination.

This wording indicates that the printed numbers are configured game values and do not automatically represent dollars or another currency. The chips are therefore suitable for projects such as:

• Poker tournaments

• Dealer training rooms

• Entertainment venues

• Private poker clubs

• Promotional events

• Casino equipment demonstrations

• Tournament system testing

• Non-cash table-game projects

For regulated cash-value casino use, the face wording, denomination structure, security features, issue procedures, and redemption rules must be developed according to the operator’s applicable requirements.

The No Cash Value statement can be retained, replaced, repositioned, or removed according to the approved project artwork.

Physical Size and Thickness Options

The standard round ceramic format is 39 mm, with additional diameter options available for projects that require a larger visual format.

Available round sizes include:

• 39 mm

• 43 mm

• 45 mm

• 50 mm

• 55 mm

• 60 mm

Available thicknesses include:

• 3.3 mm

• 3.6 mm

Product weight varies according to diameter, thickness, and format. The broader ceramic product range covers approximately 9.7 g to 46 g, but the heavier end of that range includes larger formats rather than only the standard 39 mm round chip. Final chip weight should therefore be confirmed according to the selected specification.

Optional RFID Integration

RFID is an optional configuration for this ceramic chip range rather than a default function that should be assumed from the artwork.

When an RFID inlay is specified, each compatible chip can carry an electronic identity for use with suitable CTSOK readers, chip trays, smart tables, or management systems.

Depending on the complete system configuration, an RFID-enabled version may support:

• Electronic chip authentication

• Denomination mapping

• Chip inventory recognition

• Cage-side verification

• Chip tray counting

• Controlled issue and return records

• Table-management integration

• Reconciliation support

HF or UHF RFID options can be selected according to the project. Compatibility must be confirmed against the actual reader hardware, antenna layout, software protocol, and management workflow before production.

Optional Security Features

Ceramic chips can be configured with several physical or electronic verification features.

UV Ink

Selected logos, patterns, text, or symbols can remain difficult to see under normal lighting and become visible under a suitable UV inspection lamp.

Laser-Etched Serial Numbers

Individual numbers can be added to provide a visible reference for manual checking, inventory records, or chip-level audit procedures.

Holographic Labels

A holographic element can be incorporated when the project requires an additional visible verification layer.

RFID Inlay

An internal RFID component can provide electronic identification when used with compatible reading equipment.

These options can be selected individually or combined. The appropriate configuration depends on the product’s operating environment, verification procedure, budget, and management-system requirements.

Custom Artwork Development

A complete ceramic chip project should be designed as a coordinated set rather than as several unrelated denomination images.

CTSOK customization can include:

• Casino, poker room, or club logo

• Tournament name

• Main brand colors

• Chip body colors

• Denomination color coding

• Center graphics

• Edge-spot structure

• Edge text

• Background pattern

• No Cash Value wording

• Security text

• Printed serial format

• RFID configuration

• Packaging design

Vector artwork is preferred for logos and detailed graphics. High-resolution files can also be assessed when original vector files are unavailable.

A visual proof should be reviewed before mass production so that the customer can confirm the denomination numbers, logo placement, colors, text, and edge alignment.

Set Quantity Planning

Custom chip quantities should be planned according to actual operation rather than ordering the same number of every denomination.

The required composition depends on:

• Number of poker tables

• Number of participants

• Starting stack structure

• Blind progression

• Rebuy or add-on format

• Number of tournament sessions

• Reserve stock

• Replacement allowance

• Higher-denomination introduction schedule

For custom-logo orders, the normal minimum order range is approximately 300 to 1,000 pieces per denomination, depending on the design, specification, security configuration, and production arrangement. The final MOQ should be confirmed in the quotation.

CTSOK Product Integration

Custom Ceramic Poker Chips can be supplied as part of a wider CTSOK table-game equipment project.

Related project components may include:

• Custom poker tables

• Texas Hold’em table layouts

• Poker chip trays

• Dealer accessories

• RFID chip readers

• Smart gaming tables

• Casino management systems

• Custom playing cards

• Tournament room equipment

For a conventional tournament project, the ceramic chips can be supplied as independent physical products.

For an RFID-enabled project, CTSOK can coordinate the chip specification with compatible identification and management equipment. The electronic version should be treated as a separate configuration rather than implying that every ceramic chip automatically contains RFID.

Suitable Applications

CTSOK Custom Ceramic Poker Chips are suitable for:

• Casinos

• Poker rooms

• Tournament organizers

• VIP gaming clubs

• Cruise ship gaming projects

• Private poker clubs

• Dealer training rooms

• Promotional poker events

• Casino equipment showrooms

• Branded entertainment projects

Their primary distinction is the combination of single-piece ceramic construction, full-surface color printing, flexible edge artwork, coordinated denomination design, and optional security or RFID configurations.
