Guides & Inspiration

Poker Foundry

**The Foundry** is our ready-to-ship UK chip line - the same **10g casino-grade ceramic** as our [custom range](/products/ceramic), with **Poker Foundry house artwork** on fixed **sterling denominations** held in stock at HQ.

The chip itself is identical: **direct-to-chip print** (no separate paper inlay), **flat edge**, **39mm**, rated to **50,000+ impact cycles**. What changes is the buying experience - you pick quantities in the [set builder](/shop/build/), checkout online, and we **dispatch in 2–3 working days**. No artwork brief, no proof cycle, no production wait.

Six denominations in stock: **5p, 25p, £1, £5, £25, £100**. Sold in **packs of 25** per value; **25-chip minimum** (one pack). **UK shipping** is **free from 100 chips**; **£6.99** below that.


About The Foundry

- **Ships in days, not weeks** - held at Poker Foundry HQ; no factory queue or sea freight
- **Start from 25 chips** - top up one denomination or build a full set without a 500-chip minimum

The Foundry Ceramic Chips

This is the product page for **custom clay poker chips** at Poker Foundry: **10g** clay-composite bodies, **printed label inlay**, **bevelled edge**, **500-chip** minimum, from **£0.89/chip**. Configure quantity, denominations, and artwork in the [instant quote](/quote) - itemised total in under a minute.

Custom clay poker chips use a **printed label inlay** set into the chip face - the process that produces the sharpest fine-detail reproduction of any line we offer. Combined with a classic **bevelled edge** and natural textured surface, you get the sound and feel serious players associate with a casino floor.

Our chips use a high-grade **clay composite** - the same formulation used by professional poker rooms. Clay composite is not pure clay; reinforcing additives deliver years of sustained play while keeping an authentic tactile experience.

The printable face area matches our [ceramic line](/products/ceramic). If you prioritise maximum artwork precision and casino feel, clay is the default choice. If you prioritise no separate label and **50,000+** impact durability, consider ceramic.

Every chip is **10g ± 0.2g** with a **bevelled edge** and **40mm** diameter.

Browse the [gallery](/gallery) for finished sets, see [how instant pricing works](/how-instant-pricing-works), or read our [chip artwork guide](/blog/poker-chip-artwork-design-guide) before you upload files. Weight tolerances, diameter, thickness, and impact ratings are published in our [casino-grade specifications](/blog/chip-engineering-and-casino-grade-specs). Still comparing materials?

Quick answers on custom clay poker chips, artwork, and ordering.

**What is Poker Foundry?**
A **UK custom poker chip manufacturer** - we supply **physical 10g clay and ceramic chips** and free **[Label Studio](/custom-poker-chip-label-designer/)** for label design. [About Poker Foundry](/info).

**What is the difference between clay and ceramic poker chips?**
Clay chips use a bevelled edge and printed label inlay for authentic casino feel and fine-detail artwork. Ceramic chips use direct-to-chip printing with no separate label and a flat edge. Both lines have a **500-chip** minimum. [Read our full comparison](/blog/clay-vs-ceramic-poker-chips).

**Are your clay poker chips the same as casino chips?**
Yes, in terms of material, weight, and dimensions - 40mm, 10g, bevelled edge. They are not chips made for specific regulated casinos (which carry unique security features).

**What is the minimum order quantity?**
**500 chips** for clay. Use the [instant quote tool](/quote) to price your exact quantity.

**How much do custom clay poker chips cost?**
From **£0.89/chip** at the 500-chip minimum. Volume orders reduce the unit price further. Use the [instant quote tool](/quote) for a full itemised total.

**How durable are clay poker chips?**
Rated to **25,000+ impact cycles** - many years of regular home game or club use with normal play. The printed inlay sits flush with the chip face and stays intact under typical handling.

**Can I order different denominations?**
Yes. Most orders include 5 or 6 denominations for a home game set. Each denomination is configured separately in the quote tool.

**Do you supply chip cases?**
All orders ship in standard protective packaging. If you want a locking metal case for travel or storage, source one separately after delivery - see our [metal case guide](/blog/poker-chip-metal-case-guide).

**How long does delivery take?**
**~10 weeks post sign-off** on standard; **~4 weeks** on rush. See [how long custom poker chips take](/blog/how-long-do-custom-poker-chips-take) for the full timeline.

**What file formats do you accept for artwork?**
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) are preferred. High-resolution PNG or PSD at 300dpi minimum are accepted.

**Can I reorder the same colours later?**
Yes. We keep production records so a later top-up or expansion set matches your original body and inlay colours. Read [custom poker chip reorder and colour matching](/blog/custom-poker-chip-reorder-colour-matching).

**Can I mix clay and ceramic chips in one set?**
Yes, and some clubs do - clay for cash games and ceramic for tournaments. Keep denominations and colours consistent so players are never unsure what a chip is worth. See [mixing clay and ceramic poker chips](/blog/mixing-clay-and-ceramic-poker-chips).

Custom Clay Poker Chips

This is the product page for **custom ceramic poker chips** at Poker Foundry: **10g** ceramic-composite bodies, **direct-to-chip** print (no separate paper inlay), **flat edge**, **500-chip** minimum, from **£0.76/chip**. Configure quantity, denominations, and artwork in the [instant quote](/quote) - itemised total in under a minute.

Custom ceramic poker chips print your artwork **directly onto the chip face** - there is no separate paper inlay label. That construction is why ceramic is rated to **50,000+ impact cycles** and suits clubs, corporate events, and home hosts who want a clean, modern set.

**Two options** in the [instant quote](/quote): your artwork on **stock body colours** (included), or **Full Chip Customisation** - **custom body colour and edge spot bands per denomination**, confirmed in proofs. See [edge spots guide](/blog/custom-poker-chip-edge-spots-guide).

The printable face area matches our [clay line](/products/clay). Direct-to-chip printing is generally less precise than a clay inlay for very fine detail, but bold logos, clear denominations, and high-contrast graphics reproduce very well. Our design team advises during proofs if anything in your artwork may not reproduce optimally.

Every chip is **10g ± 0.2g** with a **flat edge** and **39mm** diameter - casino-standard dimensions used in professional poker rooms.

Browse the [gallery](/gallery) for finished sets, see [how instant pricing works](/how-instant-pricing-works), or read our [chip artwork guide](/blog/poker-chip-artwork-design-guide) before you upload files.

How to order custom ceramic poker chips

Quick answers on custom ceramic poker chips, artwork, and ordering.

**What is Poker Foundry?**
A **UK custom poker chip manufacturer** - we supply **physical 10g clay and ceramic chips** and free **[Label Studio](/custom-poker-chip-label-designer/)** for label design. [About Poker Foundry](/info).

**What is the difference between ceramic and clay poker chips?**
Ceramic chips have a flat edge and direct-to-chip printing with no separate paper inlay - **50,000+ impact cycles**, **500-chip** minimum. Clay chips have a bevelled edge and a high-resolution printed label inlay for the finest artwork detail. [Read our full comparison](/blog/clay-vs-ceramic-poker-chips).

**Is direct-to-chip printing as sharp as a label inlay?**
Not always. Bold logos, clear text, and strong graphic designs reproduce very well on ceramic. Very fine detail or dense small text may be better suited to [clay inlays](/products/clay). Our design team flags anything that may not reproduce optimally.

**What is the minimum order quantity?**
**500 chips** for ceramic. Use the [instant quote tool](/quote) to price your exact quantity.

**What is Full Chip Customisation?**
Select **Full Chip Customisation** in the [instant quote](/quote) when you quote ceramic. You still get custom **face artwork**; additionally you brief **custom body colour and edge spot bands per denomination** (e.g. green $25 body with black/yellow rim spots). Confirmed in digital proofs before production. The default **Label customisation** tier uses **stock body colours** with your artwork on the face.

**Can I customise edge spots without the add-on?**
Standard ceramic uses **stock body colours** with your **face print**. **Full Chip Customisation** lets you choose **custom body and edge spots per denomination**. Details: [custom poker chip edge spots guide](/blog/custom-poker-chip-edge-spots-guide).

**How much do custom ceramic poker chips cost?**
From **£0.76/chip** at the 500-chip minimum. Volume orders reduce the unit price further. Use the [instant quote tool](/quote) for a full itemised total.

**Are ceramic poker chips durable?**
Yes. Our ceramic chips are rated to **50,000+ impact cycles** - roughly twice the clay rating. They suit high-frequency club play and regular home games.
