10 Best Ways To Use Custom Poker Chips

Custom poker chips aren't just for the poker table. Businesses, event planners, and organizations use them as promotional giveaways, branded business cards, fundraiser currency, and much more. Whether you're looking for a unique trade show handout or a creative way to market your brand, personalized poker chips deliver a memorable, tactile experience that paper products simply can't match. Here are the 10 best ways to put them to work.

1

Trade Show & Conference Giveaways

Looking for a trade show giveaway that doesn't end up in the trash? Custom poker chips with your company logo, booth number, or promotional message stand out in a sea of pens and tote bags. They're pocket-sized, durable, and heavy enough that people hold onto them. Print your website or QR code on the back using our 8-Stripe Direct Print chips for a full-color, two-sided design that gets your brand noticed long after the event ends.

2

Poker Chip Business Cards

Forget standard paper cards — a branded poker chip with your name, logo, and contact information makes a first impression that sticks. People keep them on their desk, in their pocket, or on their keychain. They're ideal for real estate agents, sales professionals, and entrepreneurs who want to be remembered. Our full color poker chips let you print your complete branding on both sides with no color limits.

3

Casino Night Fundraisers

Hosting a charity casino night? Custom chips printed with your organization's logo and event name add authenticity and make the evening feel like a real casino. Use them as buy-in currency across poker, blackjack, and roulette tables. After the event, attendees keep the chips as collectible souvenirs — extending your brand visibility well beyond the fundraiser. Pair them with custom playing cards for the complete casino experience.

4

Corporate Events & Employee Recognition

Custom poker chips make memorable corporate event swag, milestone awards, and employee recognition tokens. Print your company logo, event theme, or an employee's name and achievement for a personalized keepsake that goes beyond a generic trophy. They work especially well for sales kickoffs, team building events, anniversary celebrations, and onboarding welcome kits. Custom challenge coins are another popular option for corporate recognition programs.

5

Custom Drink Tokens for Bars & Restaurants

Bars, breweries, restaurants, and event venues use custom drink tokens to run promotions, manage open bars, and reward loyal customers. A branded poker chip that says "One Free Drink" with your logo is reusable, collectible, and far more effective than paper coupons. Customers hold onto them, show them to friends, and come back to redeem — making each chip a mini marketing tool that lives in their pocket.

Golf Ball Markers for Tournaments

Poker chip golf ball markers are one of our most popular products. Golf courses, tournament organizers, and corporate outing planners use them as player gifts, sponsor branding, and tee prizes. They're larger and heavier than standard markers, making them easy to spot on the green and satisfying to use. Print your tournament name, course logo, or sponsor branding in full color on both sides.

7

Wedding & Party Favors

Couples looking for a unique wedding favor that guests actually keep are choosing personalized poker chips over candy bags and candles. Print your names, wedding date, and a photo or monogram on both sides for a keepsake that guests will hold onto for years. They're especially popular for Vegas-themed weddings and casino night receptions. Browse our custom poker chip sets for groomsmen gifts and wedding party packages.

Poker Night & Home Games

Nothing elevates a home poker night like playing with chips that have your name, group logo, or custom denominations on them. Custom chips make it easy for players to track bets with their own colored chips, reduce confusion at the table, and bring a professional casino atmosphere to any game. Our clay poker chips deliver the authentic weight and feel that serious players demand. Add a case, cards, and dice with a complete custom poker chip set.

9

Membership & Loyalty Tokens

Custom poker chips work as durable, distinctive membership cards and loyalty tokens for clubs, organizations, and VIP programs. Unlike flimsy laminated cards, a heavy poker chip with your organization's logo and membership level printed on it is something members carry with pride. They fit in a wallet or on a keychain and stand up to daily use without fading or cracking — perfect for gyms, private clubs, loyalty programs, and exclusive membership tiers.

10

Collectibles & Commemorative Chips

Limited-edition custom poker chips have become sought-after collectibles. Organizations create commemorative chips for milestone anniversaries, charity tournaments, special events, and brand launches. The weight and craftsmanship of a real casino chip makes them feel valuable — people display them in frames, albums, and on shelves. They also work well as custom challenge coins for military units, first responders, and fraternal organizations looking for a unique recognition piece.

Custom poker chips are typically made from clay composite, ceramic, or plastic. Clay poker chips (11.5g and 14g) offer the most authentic casino feel with satisfying weight and stackability. Ceramic chips allow full edge-to-edge customization with sublimation printing. The material you choose depends on your budget, design needs, and how the chips will be used.

Hot stamp (foil stamp) printing applies a single metallic color for a classic casino look — ideal for text and simple logos at the lowest price point. Custom inlay printing uses a printed label inserted into the chip's recessed center. Ceramic sublimation bakes the design directly into the chip material for edge-to-edge coverage.
