How a Chip Gets Made
The same process, for over a century.
Step one
Blend the clay
Real clay compound, mixed to the 38 colors on our chart — weighted with fine brass powder, never lead.
Step two
Press on vintage molds
Each chip is compression-molded individually at 10,000 psi and 300°F, with your chosen mold pattern in the rim.
Step three
Stamp or inlay
Metallic foil hot-stamps in six colors, or printed inlays protected by clear vinyl and molded directly into the chip body.
Step four
Inspect by hand
Every chip is checked before it ships. The feel, the sound, the weight — it has to be right.
Colors, Molds & Edge Spots
Thousands of combinations. One unmistakable feel.
38 clay colors — 24 weighted with fine brass powder, nine Dayglos, four 1940s Retros, and Bright White — across 19 mold designs, with edge-spot patterns from simple to spectacular. These five are a taste; the full charts show everything we press.

Try Before You Commit
Hold them before you order.
Photos can't capture the heft of real clay or the sound of a riffled stack. Order a sample set — all 38 colors, the mold lineup, or a selection of finished inlaid chips — and feel the difference at your own table.

There is simply nothing else like a CPC set on the table. The weight, the sound, the way they wear in over years of play — these are the chips everything else gets compared to.— Longtime customer, Poker Chip Forum · Read More Testimonials
