Clay Poker Chip

At GT Gifts, we proudly manufacture and sell two distinct types of poker chips: Clay Poker Chips and Composite Poker Chips.

Clay poker chips are the most popular choice of chip when playing poker. They have distinct sound and feel to them. This gives you an overall better playing experience. Once you play with clay chips, you won’t want to play with anything else. All of the clay poker chips are made with a clay/composite material blend. The composite (plastic/pvc) material gives the chip its strength.

The clay chips range in weight from 10 grams up to a super heavy 15 grams. Most casinos and card rooms use chips that have a weight of 10 grams. The clay poker chips can be purchased in 25 chip bundles or in several chip set options ranging in sizes from 200 chips up to 1000 chips. Sets may not available with all chip styles.

You will find that clay poker chips stack better than composite poker chips, because they are less slippery. The chips with graphics have a label inlay on them. These label inlays are recessed into the face of the chip, unlike ceramic poker chips, which the graphics are part of the chip.

All clay poker chips have some percentage of composite materials in them. The composite material gives the chip its strength. A 100% pure clay chip would be extremely brittle and easy to break. Even our casino grade poker chips which have a higher percentage of clay can be broken in half, if you try to break them.

Generally, the more expensive a clay chip costs, the higher the percentage of clay it is made with. It is more complex to manufacturer chips with a higher clay content.

Weight has nothing to do with quality. Our highest quality chips are the 10 gram chips. The weight of a chip is is purely personal preference. Our most popular chips are the heavier 13.5 &14 gram clay poker chips.

All clay chips that weigh more than 11.5 grams have a metal insert in them to give them their weight. The larger the weight the heavier the chip.

All of our clay poker chips are either 39mm or 40mm in diameter. The thickness of most of the chips are the same too.

“What is the best poker chip you have?” The answer is different for everyone and is all based on preference and budget. Most people like the heavier 14 gram clay poker chips with denominations. While some prefer the classic non denominated chips. And a casino enthusiast will prefer the Pure Clay or Ceramic options.
