Need some chips for the pool |

Ok, so summer is here and I need a small (300) piece chipset with denoms - 25, 50, 100 (or a buck) for cash games by the pool. I was thinking of going with the RPT with vinyl labels if I could find someone who can do vinyl labels. Barring that, anyone else have any ideas for a relatively cheap, waterproof, 25/50/100 chip set for the pool?
Thanks for your help...

Trademark/5star/pokerchipshopping seems to have a great price on 200 piece sets of the RPTs and the Jackpot coin inserts.
The vinyl labels that were available fron onlinelabels are a bear to work with (very hard to get off the backing sheet because the die cut usually cuts into the backing sheet.). They've since discontinued those and replaced it with a poly label of some sort, but I haven't tried those yet. I just printed up a bunch of vinyls for the RPTs that I received, though quite frankly, I would never print them up for someone else unless they had prior experience working with these labels. I suspect that may be why vinyl labels aren't offered by the people that print paper labels; too many of them probably get returned when people can't figure out how to get them off the sheet without taking the backing off with it. You might to get a sample of their poly labels to see if they are cut any better and any easier to work with.
Also, Office Depot does have 1" vinyl laminated label printing available (from a offset no less), but it's not cheap, I think it starts somewhere around $120 for 500 or 1000 labels.

I bought their replacement poly labels and had no problems getting them off the backing. Weird though, the last label on the second row of every sheet had 2 spots where the die cut didn't fully cut the label and if I wasn't careful it would tear the label...

Excellent job CSI jalsing. Now if we can just batch the tool marks to the press they used, we can find the killer.
