A popular game to both watch and play and which can be played professionally, at home, with the family, with friends or with work colleagues it comes as no surprise then that many companies have seen the potential benefits in the idea of using poker chips promotionally. Since they first appeared in gambling halls in the 1800s, poker chips have come a long way; from those simple objects whose sole purpose was to stand in for the use of real currency, poker chips have become premium works of art and strategic, highly powerful advertising tools.

As the thickness and weight of the poker chip generally comes as standardized today, the main difference between these two types of promotional poker chips is in their imprint.

The Screenprinted custom poker chip

The screenprinted poker chip has the desired logo or message of the company or individual imprinted directly onto its surface. Glutinous, inorganic inks and precious metals are transferred onto the poker chips either wet with interim-drying or thermo-plastically with silk-screening. The poker chips are then fired at very high temperatures to make them both scratch-proof and light-resistant. This process, also known as hot-stamping, is suitable if you want to imprint your poker chips with text, logos or promotional messages that are not too complicated and do not use much text.

The Decal Inlay custom poker chip

These poker chips will have a recessed centre area which will then hold a decal imprinted with the company or individual’s desired logo or message. The advantage of using the decal poker chip is that these poker chips allow for a wider range of graphic options than the screenprinted poker chip. Like the screenprinted poker chip, the decal poker chip can be decorated on one or both sides.
