Need Help Designing a Mold. Winner gets a free custom set! |

Posted Sat Oct 16, 2004 2:20 am GMT by PaulsonChips
I am about to invest in a couple of Clay chip molds to make my own custom chips to sell. I need ideas in coming up with unique designs for the mold and also for the inlay (color schemes would be nice too, but no prizes for this colors). Submit your designs of the inlays and molds to me and whoever I decide to go with will receive a FREE Custom Clay chip set of that design! (send the designs to my email or PM me with them, I dont want everyone stealing your ideas!)
GOOD LUCK! :D

Questions I have:
1. How do you wish us to submit this design to you? Just text-based or do you need us to be graphically inclined and make pictures? If we do need to make pictures, or even if it's just text, do you need specific measurements from us as well?
2. Can we only submit one design, or multiple designs for a better shot at catching your attention?
3. Exactly how large of a "set" will we win if our idea is chosen? Is this 300 chips, 500, 650, 1000? I know my home game I have 1,150 chips because we do a 2K chip night and a 50K chip night, so I have denominations of 5, 25, 100, 500, 1K, 5K and 10K in 7 different colors!

1. Pictures or text based would do. Whatever conveys the idea would be fine. Measurements shouldnt be needed, but are recommended if you dont want your ideas misinterpreted.
2. Send as many designs as you want!
3. A set will include 300 pieces. Any additional pieces will be sold to the winner at cost..

Thanks for all the replies.
Please take into account that my chips will need a classic look to them. Something timeless. NO niche designs or molds (Simpsons, aliens, etc)
There have been some good submissions. But because of the many emails I am receiving, I can only response to the ones that I am interested in!
And if I use partial ideas from someone, they will be compensated. How? I dont know yet, maybe chips at cost.
Thanks again guys :D

WOW! I have received some GREAT designs and ideas!.
Thanks for all the admissions! I should have a final choice at the end of the month!
Posted Wed Oct 20, 2004 7:55 pm GMT by PaulsonChips
Remember guys I am trying to have a CLASSIC look!
No more submissions with current stuff! (cars, holiday themes.. etc)

The FINAL Product will be presented online!
Posted Mon Oct 25, 2004 1:15 pm GMT by PaulsonChips
SO many entries, thanks everyone, especially the people that are so dedicated to this cause!
We have sort of narrowed down our favorites for the mold design.
NOW Send INLAY Designs! Remember guys (A Classic Look!) no superman chips!
The only problem now is that our Chip Maker seems to fall below par on our quality expectations, and we are currently working with someone who may be able to fulfill our needs!

For all the emails asking "are you still accepting entries?" The answer is YES!.
But please start submitting INLAY DESIGNS now, the inlay size should be similar to the Blue Chip James Bond casino style.
Please no submissions of chipco style full inlays.
Thanks! :D

I am having trouble in agreeing over terms with the chip maker. We are working with another chip maker currently and hope that we can do something getting the chips by Xmas.

Did you pic a winner? Because if you haven't yet, the jolly rodger just sailed into town with my copy of photoshop onboard...

Was just curious what ever happened with this.

Don't know if you are still looking for a chip manufacturer or not, but I can help broker a deal with my supplier.
Let me know

If I were to design the perfect mold:
- I'd start with a mold that fits a grand inlay.
- Then, on both sides, I'd have the words, "YELTZEN CHIPS" imprinted.
- Between both imprintings of the words, I'd have an imprinting of a magic hat with a rabbit sticking out.
That's about it. Can't get more perfect!

Well, I was only discussing the mold. But, obviously the too-small inlay is key to finishing off the perfect chip! As well as neon lights as edgespots!
