I´m looking for the manufacturer of these chips, but I can´t find any information anywhere.

I actually called 5stardeal and asked them before I bought mine and the girl in customer service said she didnt have that information and when I pressed her about it she said they're not allowed to give out that info anyway...
If anyone knows (pokerchipsreviews?) I would be pretty interested myself.

Contact 5stardeal. He is the only one in the world that has stock of this chip.

pics ... color is pretty close but not exact.... your monitor could change affect it as well.. click on the picture to enlarge. Oh, and mine look a little dull and white on the corners because I put 1000 in a pillow case and shook them around for a while.. Made a good difference in handling..

Well, I´ve been in contact with 5stardeal, gamblinghabit(where I bought my set), wedoitallvegas and other sites that sells them.
I also asked pokerchipsreview.
What are they afraid of? We are less people i Sweden then in New York City, so I don´t think I drive them out of business.
I doubt they have sold any sets in Sweden since shipping is twice the chip cost.

In another thread Dirty moose said he put labels on them and was going to put labels on them but hasn't posted them yet. The chips are a couple millimeters larger than most chips (around 40-41mm I think) so you might want a label slightly larger. The biggest issue is the center isn't recessed and is textured so it seems like it might be hard to get them to adhere. Again, dirty moose said his turned out great.
DM, did you ever get your hands on a camera?

This is probably a dumb question, but does anyone think it would be possible to paint edge spots onto these faux clay chips?

If you were so inclined, I don't see why not. The seem to be a little porous so it might take a couple coats. I would just use and oil base modeling type paint such as Testers..

Funny you mentioned this, I am awaiting an order of 1k of these, and was thinking the same thing. My crazy idea is to stack them and then mask the edges with tape, then break out the Krylon. Any thoughts on this procedure?

Why don't you contact Trademark Services, 5star's parent company, and see if they will international sales since they primarily do distribution and branding rather than direct sales.

Yeah, I ordered a 500 set of these plus 25 extra chips. I'm gonna experiment with painting edge spots on the extra chips. If it doesn't turn out, oh well.
Good idea stacking the chips then painting the edges. Will you extend the painted edge onto the faces of the chips as well?
Posted Fri Feb 25, 2005 4:05 pm GMT by PocketRocket
You may have a problem with the paint adhering to the plastic surface. More importantly, you'll have to think about how the chips will start to look when the paint starts to chip and peel off with use. Since the painted surface of the chips will be rubbing against each other, the paint will either chip off or transfer to portions of the other chips where you probably don't want those colors. You'd probably be better off just leaving the chips as they are. If you want or have to have edge spots, you'd be better off getting chips that are molded with the spots. And if you just like what you see on TV, you'll see that a lot of the casinos on the TV games use solid color chips without edgespots for their NCV tournament chips.

I almost suggested the Krylon but I haven’t used it so I don’t really know. The point that Pocketrocket makes as far as the paint chipping and/or rubbing onto other chips is a good one. But to be honest it wouldn’t discourage me from doing a stack of ten and shuffling them for a few days to see how they hold up. I have 1000 of them and I may do just that tonight. I actually don’t mind that they don’t have spots on them at all but it’s an interesting idea to try out... If you want to wait and see what my results are Ill be happy to post the outcome.

Extending the paint to the faces would be too painstaking of a task to do right--I can't think of a way to do more than one at a time. Plus the rub-off issue would be even more of a concern. The only reason I am thinking of doing edge spots anyway (and the true value of them, IMHO) is to be able to see easily how many chips are in a stack (face paint is not of any value for that).
Proceeding with the thought experiment further, I would expect some paint to blow/seep-in between the stacked/masked chips due to their texture, causing some sort of face coloration--might even look cool if it causes a kind of lightly airbrushed/fuzzy effect on the face.

Good point, I've seen this in real-life as well. Since I plan to use these chips for tourneys, I can use this in my defense (along with of course, "B-b-but they were only SIX CENTS each! And listen to that SOUND!") when my guests complain about how boring my chips look.

True, true.. I think we deduced that information is not available and is going to continue to be classified, so in a way you did get some closer. 
Posted Tue Mar 01, 2005 4:17 pm GMT by circlencircle
Well, this should probably be posted under the title "what not to do to a faux dice chip" but since everyone who is interested is probably already watching this thread I'll post it here.
I used Testers model paint for this. All the paint was supposedly flat but it doesn’t seem like it now. The labor involved in this is absolutely ridiculous and that alone makes it not worth it. Also, I don’t think the chips look good. One thing I found out, paint thinner (at least in small doses) wont hurt these chips so if you make a mistake, it's not much of an issue.
Obviously the colors are debatable but there were only a few to choose from at the store. Over all the chips don’t look bad if they are stacked but once you examine the faces in good light its obvious what has been done. I wouldn’t recommend it. However, if you still think it’s something you might like to try, another option I considered is using paint markers. The ones I have actually use paint and it goes on easy and in a thin layer, which is what you want. Just a thought...
I will shuffle these for a few days like a said though, and let you all know if the paint holds up.

I just ordered a set of these chips. Looks like you need a lot of patience and a steady hand to do this,but it looks nice. Good job. I still think the chips look good with solid colors. A lot of the old school poker games used solid colored chips back in the days. Now they use these bright flouresent solid color chips. Its nice having chips with different variations. Its all good,edge spots ,solid,dots,in the end its all about the money.

I agree, I can even foresee myself choosing to play these over my Paulson’s every once in a while. The problem is convincing everyone else at the table that these really are great chips!

I have never perused this subject so I don’t have any personal info for you but if you search "label" on the forum you will find a number of posts addressing the subject. I did find this specific post; it seems to have some good info...
| ky70 wrote: |
The Labels: After stumbling upon the whole custom label market, my first thought was to do it myself. I saw plenty of people had done their own labels but the more I researched it the more I found little issues (what type of printer to use, what type of paper to use, what to set the margins at, what program to use for the design) that made me think I should let a pro do it. So I got in contact with the 2 main custom label makers that the masses seem to use, Jason (jasone@verizon.net goes by cin0s3 on Ebay) and Brent of Lynbark (lynbark@nc.rr.com goes by lynbark on Ebay). Let me say that both guys were extremely responsive and their customer service was great. I selected them because they allowed me to come up with an idea and then they designed a label based on my specific requests. They would e-mail me a visual sample (the quick turnaround was amazing from both, but especially from Jason) and if I wanted alterations, they made the changes quickly and e-mailed the amended custom label. I decided to use both guys at the end because I did not know which design would look best in person. I dealt with both guys directly (not using Ebay) and the cost from each guy was about $36 (including shipping) for 1000 labels. If you select one of their existing designs, the price is cheaper (I believe). After all the changes to the label designs, I ordered from Jason this past Friday morning and from Brent this past Saturday morning and received their labels on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. I liked both labels but the labels from Lynbark looked better to my eyes. I asked them both for the same basic design, butt I did ask for specific things for one that I didn’t ask for another (AK of spades on the labels from Jason didn’t look like it really belonged – but that’s my fault). The text on Lynbark’s labels were also more consistent, but I would not hesitate to use Jason again as I believe he could design just as good a label as Lynbark.
The Application: I searched every craft store I could find in search of that Krylon preserve it stuff to apply on the labels, but NO ONE seemed to have it. I’m too excited to put off applying the labels until I can hunt this down (and I only seem to find it online) so I sit down and prepare myself to apply the Lynbark labels. I already had my poker table up in the basement so I plunk down at about 9pm and begin to start labeling. I have 6 different colored Nexgen chips and six different label colors that correspond. I ended up getting about 100 chips done (2 different colors) in about 1.5 hours. The application is simple enough but I am being very careful about applying the labels, as I want them to look professionally done. I remember a thread where someone said it took them 2 hours to apply labels on 500 chips and this person either is great at applying labels or was not concerned with the small details (I have the label on both sides in the same position and the top of label on every chip is aligned below an edge spot). |

Thanks circlencircle for your efforts and usual great photography (what kind of camera do you use, BTW?). They turned out better than I thought they would. I especially like how you simulated the edge compression zig-zag effect.
I'm expecting my order of 1000 (only sixty bucks, woo-hoo!) tomorrow and will try out my tape-masked/spray-painted/edges-only idea. Again, I'm doing this for purely functional reasons: to make it easier to see the chip count in a stack.

Don't the labels wear when they rub against each other? As I understand it, these chips do not have a recessed area for a label and any label that you put on the chip would be sitting above the surface of the chip.

Personally I can’t recommend them enough. IMO you would have to spend at least another 30cents per chip to get anything else decent and they blow away so many chips that are more expensive. I think 5star's sale is over, too bad, they were 6cents each.
Posted Wed Mar 02, 2005 10:17 pm GMT by PocketRocket
Nope, they've extended it to March 7. And if it really does end on March 7, go to Trademark's other site, pokerchipshopping.com where it continues until the end of March.

I just received my order of 1000 (actually 999, it was short 1 green  ) and they almost make me think twice about getting my Paulson JBs (well, not really, heh)--but they're that good in terms of weight, feel, sound, and stackability. I riffled through a stack of the JBs, then a stack of these, and there's not much difference. A boring look is their only weakness. If the manufacturer ever figures out how to put some edge spots on these, they would make a mint--they could easily charge another 15-25 cents/chip, IMHO. I think they would then completely blow away all the other low-cost chips. But then again, if you have bought into the "heavier is better" marketing, then these are not for you.
Oh, I haven't forgotten about the DIY edge-spot experiment--I'm going to Casa De Pot tomorrow.

Just a quick follow up on the painted chips incase anyone was still wondering. The paint didn’t hold up at all. I've probably put 3-4 hours of shuffling and splashing on them and it's chipped and/or worn off. It also tends to gather dirt. I will post pictures if anyone requests them but I'm going out of town for work until Sunday so I won’t post them until Monday. Anyone, got a game around Indianapolis over the weekend?

Well, I bought both a standard green fluorescent spray paint as well as a "for plastic" white spray paint, and did a small paint adhesion/durability test on one chip. Neither paint worked well at all--the fluorescent didn't really show or stick well, and the "for plastic' white didn't stick well. The paints never really seemed to dry/harden either--they are still soft and can indented/scraped with a fingernail. It was just a sloppy and unsuccessful test, so pictures would do no good right now. My next try may be to get some special primer and then try an enamel over it.

Yellow-120
purple-120
black-100
orange-60
And today i was just surfing five star deal, and decided to order some more of these chips so i ordered 40 of each of the colors i didnt get came up to 200 more chips. so that makes 600 total for like 40 bucks...

Hello all... new guy here. I just recieved 1000 of these chips last thursday and they feel and sound great. I'm planning on adding some labels maybe in a week or two and i read that someone on here did that. I was wondering what size they used? Seems that 1inch might be a little large and the next smallest size i can find are 3/4 inch.

I ordered a few faux clay chips to see what the fuss was all about, and I must be in a very small minority of people who feel they're just plastic chips. They don't feel faux clay to me at all. Maybe I don't have enough real casino chips to compare the feel and sound to, but they just seem like cheap plastic to me.
They're certainly better than interlocking bicycle chips, with nice colors and a price that can't be beat. I was also surprised that on the pokerchipreviews site that the faux clay chips rank higher than the unicorn chips...unicorns feel much more like real clay to me.
Well, there's no accounting for taste.

Wow i cant disagree with you more ^^^^. I Got my chips today and all i can say is WOW. they are really nice chips that exceded my expectations that i had for them. I got them out of the box and shuffled and splashed htem around and the sound and feel great. I couldnt be happier with them and for .06 cents what a chip. I only ordered 400 bc i wasnt sure if i would li ke the enough but they are great. I am about to order 600 m ore chips in a little bit. Thanks for all the information from you guys. It looks like we really found a good chip for a cheap price. They arent paulsons but for the price of paulsons compared to these $1+ to $.06 they are very comparable. Great chips, and thanks for the info.

For what it's worth, I'm glad you disagree with me, and it's great you're happy with your new purchase.
Don't get me wrong...for the money, they're a great chip...I just disagree with the reviews that state that they feel and sound just like clay chips. IMO, they don't...they feel and sound like plastic to me. That could be because I'm used to unicorns, which sound, feel and look better to me. YMMV.
Still, I think that unicorns or faux clays are both excellent inexpensive choices instead of going with nasty metal insert imports from China. :D

Yeah, I would definitely disagree with you but as you said "There's no accounting for taste" They’re not perfect but for the price I don’t think you can beat them, even if you're willing to spend a bit more you still can't beat them IMHO. Don’t get me wrong though, I haven’t tried a lot of others (some - not a lot) and I'm sure that if I got some more samples I would be quite impressed with say the Clay-Composite from We Do It All Vegas.com. I would definitely vote for Casino Quality Clay Composites from The Poker Chip Co. I have tried those and they are great. But again, price is about 6-8 times more. Cheap chips are just cheap chips so it’s all relative anyway... When it really comes down to it the only chips I would call "good chips" are actual clays and ceramics, that’s just me of course.
