Clay Poker Chips – the better choice for serious play. At 13.5g, they're slightly heavier than Composite, with a softer feel and tighter tolerances for better stacking. Multi-color edge spots help distinguish denominations at a glance. Choose from 4 molds (6 Spot Gem, Macau, Monte Carlo, and more) in 9 colors each – plus our new oversized 43mm option in the 6 Spot Gem mold. Starting at 25 for $32.00
Clay chips are the better choice for serious play. At 13.5g they're heavier than our composite chips, with a softer feel and tighter tolerances — stacks sit flat and riffle the way casino chips should, and the multi-color edge spots make denominations readable at a glance.
Every chip is printed direct-to-chip in Centennial, Colorado and sealed with a UV coating, so your artwork is part of the chip rather than a sticker on top of it. Choose from four molds — Monte Carlo, 6 Spot Gem, Macau and 8 Spot — plus an oversized 43mm option in the 6 Spot Gem mold.
I wanted some custom chips for my home poker game. I contacted Chiplab to make this happen for me. I ordered 2500 clay chips. One was the Monte Carlo and the other the Mcall. The whole process from start to finish was super fast maybe a week? But let me tell you, when I got my chips I was blown away. They look amazing and feel the same way. I will say that the Monte Carlo chips is heavier than the McCall chips the McCall chips have a better feel and ruffle better than the Monte Carlo chips in my opinion.
My overall satisfaction is 100% these chips look amazing. Feel amazing. We play with them every weekend. They’re great couldn’t ask for better chips. If you were thinking about getting custom poker chips for your home tournament look no further than Chip lab.

These turned out amazing! These looked and felt very high end and the turnaround time was even better. Will definitely order again for future projects!
The term "clay" in the poker chip world is a bit of a misnomer — virtually no modern poker chips are made from actual clay. Our 'clay' chips are made primarily from a mix of polypropylene (a plastic) and barium sulfate (a mineral filler). The barium sulfate is what gives the chips their satisfying weight and that slightly chalky, textured feel that players love. And yes, barium sulfate is completely safe — it's so non-toxic that it's actually used in medicine as a contrast agent for X-rays.
These are not compression-molded clay chips. True compression clay chips — like those made by Paulson (used in many major casinos) or ASM/Classic Poker Chips) — are manufactured through a different and more expensive process. Compression molding involves placing a composite material (typically a proprietary blend of clay, calcium carbonate, chalk, sand, and other minerals with binding resins) into a heated mold under high pressure. This process creates an extremely durable chip with a distinctive sound, feel, and edge texture that many enthusiasts consider the gold standard. However, compression clay chips come at a significantly higher price point (more than 4x times the cost in most cases).
Our polypropylene/barium sulfate composite chips offer an excellent feel and weight at a more accessible price
Why are these best for poker/gaming?
Our clay chips are precision-engineered to tighter tolerances than composite chips — each one measures exactly 40mm with a perfectly flat surface for superior stacking stability during serious play. We refurbish our molds every 1 million chips to maintain this precision. Clay chips also feature 3-4 color tones (vs. simpler composite designs), making denominations easier to spot and count in the pot.
My clay chips are a bit 'chalky' on the edges, what can I do?
Mineral oil works well on our Clay Poker Chips. Mineral oil is chemically inert with polypropylene — it won't degrade, dissolve, or warp the plastic. It fills in the micro-texture on the chip surface that causes the chalky appearance, making colors look richer and more saturated. A light coat rubbed in with a soft cloth, then buffed off, is the usual approach.
What is the Designable/Printable Area of Clay Poker Chips?
Our Clay Poker Chips are 40mm in diameter. The printable area is 27mm (about 67% of the chip). Your designs are printed on that 27mm area.
