About the Epiphany custom ceramic chip line
Our Epiphany custom ceramic chip line brings near casino-quality custom chips
with permanently embedded graphics within the budget of most poker players.
While our high-end custom clay chips run around $1200 for a 500-chip set, you
can customize a 500-chip set of our Epiphany ceramic chips for about 1/3rd that
cost.
The satin finish of the Epiphany custom ceramic chips will compliment the look
of the most beautiful designs with a luxurious touch and feel. With materials
specifically designed for poker play and stacking, these chips are smooth and
stylish, yet not slippery.
Now that you’ve found the right chip to customize at the right price,
sit back and let our world class European illustrator create a design that’s
worthy of a place at your next poker game.
Custom ceramic chips in 3 easy steps...
Step 1: Order a $29 design
package
This required step gets your design in the best possible print
ready format to ensure the best possible chip outcome. You
will get 1.5 hours of back and forth design services from our world class
European illustrator. Start with anything from a simple text description
of your concept to a polished design.
Step 2: Sign-off on design
phaser
A PDF design phaser will be used to communicate back and forth between
you and our designer during step one. Your custom order can not begin until
we have sign-off from you on this, so fax a signed copy in to us before
you order to ensure there are no production delays. Here are some examples
of the PDF phasers:
Example
of a simple phaser sign-off sheet (0.2 MB)
Example
of a complex phaser sign-off sheet (1.2 MB)
Step 3: Order your custom set
Specify the quantity of chips in your complete set and order. You’ll
already have specified the quantities of each denomination on the design
phaser sign-off sheet. Payment is required upfront on all custom orders.

Q. Are these Epiphany chips the same quality as your
Archetype ceramic chips?
A. No. Our Archetype
casino chip line is made by the same manufacturer that makes chip for many
Las Vegas casinos today. We consider these Epiphany chips to be “2nd tier”
ceramic chip. The good news is they cost roughly one third the price of our
Archetype’s to customize. The bad news is the graphic detail on the Epiphany
chips is not as high resolution as on our Archetypes and the propensity to chip
is much worse on these Epiphany chips. Those are the two main downfalls of the
Epiphany custom ceramics, but all things considered the Epiphany chips represent
a great value when you are considering a customized ceramic chip.
Q. Can I get an Archetype quality chip customized?
A. Yes. It's not something we typically do, but we can accommodate
this. Just keep in mind that your costs are going to be roughly three times
the cost of these Epiphany chips. If you are interested in this, send us your
design and we can get you a price.
Q. Who manufacturer’s these Epiphany chips?
A. We consider our manufacturing sources to be one of our
competitive advantages, and thus our policy is to not release the identity of
any of our manufacturers. We have Epiphany
poker chip samples available if you would like to see the quality of these
ceramic chips for yourself.
Q. Are the Epiphany chips “casino-quality”?
A. Not by our standards, and we know “casino-quality”
pretty well as our primary business is selling chips by the same manufacturers
that make chips for Las Vegas casinos today. The Epiphany’s are nice chips,
but we consider them “2nd tier ceramics” as they are not carried
in any major casinos today, nor would they be due primarily to durability (a
higher propensity to chip than our Archetypes), print image clarity, and security
issues. There are a few companies out there that sell ceramic chips of comparable
quality to these Epiphany’s and deceivingly proclaim them to be “casino-quality”.
We prefer to be more upfront and honest about the shortfalls of 2nd tier ceramics
chips, but also point out that they represent a good value proposition given
the considerable cost difference to customize.
Q. Can I get chips made to look just like an existing
casino’s chips?
A. No. For obvious reason you can not get chips made to look
like any existing casino currency.
Q. Can I use a protected and/or copyrighted image
on my chip design?
A. No. No faces, logos, or protected images with the express
written consent of the owner.
Q. Can I get an exact color match to my artwork?
A. No, not typically. First off, colors are tricky when printing.
Some colors are trickier than others. Colors can look different on screen or
on paper than they will when printed on chip. As a general rule of thumb, you
can expect your colors on your actual chips to be a little duller than your
artwork looks on your screen. See the example chip at the top
of this page for a good example.
Q. Can I get these faster than 2-3 weeks if I pay
more for a “rush job”?
A. Unfortunately, no. We don’t have the ability to offer
rush jobs and/or adhere to a shorter time schedule with any predictable consistency.
Sometimes thing can go faster than 2-3 weeks, but typically this is a good guideline.
The best way for you to speed up your order is to immediately purchase the Epiphany
design package and have our artist get your design in a “ready to
print” format and then sign-off and fax in the PDF phaser sign-off sheet
prior to ordering the custom chips. Then, as soon as you order your custom job
will get scheduled into our production queue immediately.
Q. Is there a minimum number required for each denomination?
A. Yes, you must get a minimum of 40 chips in each denomination.
Additionally, the minimum chip set size for customization is 500 chips.
Q. Does it cost extra to have a different image on
both sides of each chip?
A. No. We do not charge extra for a different image on either
side of the chips.
Q. Is there a maximum number of denominations I can
get?
A. No. You can get as many denominations as you need without
incurring any extra charges, so long as you have a minimum of 40 chips in each
denomination.
Q. Can I get a discount if I buy a large volume of
chips?
A. Yes. We have standardized volume discounts that bring the
price per chip down to as low as $0.50 per chip at a volume of 10,000. These
discounts are automatically applied to your purchase based on the quantity ordered
in your shopping cart, so there is no coupon code needed. Additionally, there
is no need to call us (unless you want to, which we always welcome) as everything
can be done online. Our standardized volume discount structure is as follows:
$0.75 per chip for quantities from 500 to 999 chips
$0.72 per chip for quantities from 1000 to 1499 chips
$0.70 per chip for quantities from 1500 to 1999 chips
$0.67 per chip for quantities from 2000 to 2499 chips
$0.64 per chip for quantities from 2500 to 4999 chips
$0.62 per chip for quantities from 5000 to 9999 chips
$0.60 per chip for quantities from 10,000 and up
If you represent a large organization and are looking for a substantially large
quantity of chips (50,000+), we can quote you a price on an individual basis.
