# Custom Acrylic RFID Poker Chips | Crystal Casino Chips Source: https://www.macaumr.com/de/produkt/custom-acrylic-poker-chips/ YKCM is the custom acrylic poker chip from Macaumr, built from four laminated layers: acrylic panel, pattern layer, middle core and outer panel. The construction gives a crystal or holographic depth that solid bodies cannot reproduce, and the RFID inlay sits inside the laminate with the antenna routed around the non-metallic outer ring. ## What are the specifications? | Model | YKCM | | --- | --- | | Material | Acrylic, four-layer lamination | | Dimensions | Round 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 mm; oval 58×38 / 68×48 / 78×53 mm; square 60×60 / 75×75 / 89×89 mm; rectangular 58×42 to 118×81 mm; octagonal | | Thickness | 4–6.5 mm | | Weight | 6.7–62 g (40 mm coreless 6.7 g; 118×81 plaque 61.9 g) | | Tolerance | Diameter ±0.2 mm; thickness ±0.1 mm across the 4–6.5 mm range; weight ±0.2 g | | RFID frequency | 13.56 MHz HF; UHF 860–960 MHz on request | | Air interface | [ISO 15693](https://webstore.iec.ch/en/publication/65032) / ISO 14443 (HF); [ISO 18000-6C](https://webstore.iec.ch/en/publication/72310) (UHF) | | IC | NXP ICODE SLIX (1024 bit) or SLIX2 (2560 bit); NXP UCODE 9 for UHF | | Read range | 2–20 cm handheld; 5–15 cm desktop reader board; up to 100 chips per batch | | Minimum order | 300–1,000 chips per denomination for custom logo work | | Lead time | 2–4 weeks plain; 4–8 weeks custom logo with RFID | | Warranty | 12 months from delivery | ![YKCM acrylic RFID poker chip shapes, thickness 4–6.5 mm and weight 8–62 g](https://www.macaumr.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/ykcm-acrylic-rfid-chip-specifications.jpg) YKCM formats: round 40–60 mm plus oval, square, rectangular and octagonal plaques. ## What can be customized? Thickness and weight are set within the range above, so the feel of the acrylic chip is a specification choice rather than a fixed property. Print can be clear, tinted or holographic, and centre artwork, denomination markings, UV ink and laser-etched serials are specified per project. Edge treatment can be round spots, triangular spots, notches, a continuous edge line, a plain edge or a key-pattern edge. ![Rendered acrylic RFID poker chips in crystal and holographic finishes](https://www.macaumr.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/ykcm-acrylic-rfid-chip-rendered.jpg) Crystal, tinted and holographic finishes on the same laminated body. ## How does the RFID layer work in this chip? The inlay sits inside the four-layer laminate and the antenna is routed around the outer non-metallic ring rather than through the middle of the chip. The body can be built with a metal core for weight, or coreless for a lighter chip, and in both builds the antenna path stays outside the core. Frequency, air interface, IC options and read range are listed in the specification table above, and both HF and UHF builds are available. Routing the antenna around the non-metallic outer ring means an acrylic chip reads the same way whether its core is metal or coreless, so one reader setup covers both builds. That hardware is the Macaumr cage reader board (HF 13.56 MHz or UHF; up to 100 chips per batch, under 0.5 seconds per chip; Ethernet, RS-485 or USB with a CMS API; 0–50 °C operating range), the portable handheld terminal for pit and vault checks, and mainstream casino management systems. Passive tags do not require CE-RED or FCC radio certification, which applies to readers rather than tags; a RoHS report can be supplied per project.

The tag holds an encrypted unique identifier and nothing else; denomination, colour, value and win/loss sit in the casino management system, which maps each identifier to a chip record. The chip never carries a balance, so an inlay that fails or a reader that is offline costs a read, not the record. ## How is the chip ID written? Every tag is programmed at the factory during chip production, so a custom acrylic poker chip arrives with its identifier already written, and the casino registers that identifier rather than encoding chips itself. The inlay sits inside the four-layer laminate with the antenna routed around the non-metallic outer ring, so the identifier stays readable through the finished acrylic body: the layer that gives the chip its depth does not block the field. ## How does it compare with the other chip bodies? Acrylic is the only one of the four bodies that shows depth through the chip. Weight runs from about 6.7 g on a 40 mm coreless build to 61.9 g on a 118×81 mm plaque, and thickness is a specification choice between 4 and 6.5 mm rather than a fixed property of the material.

Custom acrylic poker chips start at 300–1,000 per denomination for custom logo work; unbranded stock colours can be supplied in smaller quantities. Plain chips run 2–4 weeks after approval and custom logo chips with RFID 4–8 weeks. Before production, fix the chip mix and quantity per denomination, approve the artwork from a digital mock-up, and confirm the frequency and protocol your readers expect. On delivery, check acrylic layer alignment and clarity against the proof, measure thickness within the 4–6.5 mm band to ±0.1 mm, sample diameter within ±0.2 mm and weight within ±0.2 g, then read one chip of each denomination on the reader you will use on the floor. Chips are made to order rather than held in stock. Reference samples carry a non-refundable sample fee, and fully custom designs are approved from an artwork mock-up before tooling. Packing is in chip trays, aluminium cases or custom packaging, in formats compatible with standard chip racks and dealing shoes. HS code 9504904000. ## What happens if a chip stops reading? Every chip carries a 12-month warranty from delivery. A chip counts as failed when it no longer reads on the handheld terminal, the cage reader board or an RFID table. A failed chip is replaced with one carrying the same identifier, so the record already held in the casino management system stays valid and the chip does not have to be registered again. Report the failure with the identifier and the device it was tested on. ## Who manufactures these chips? YKCM chips are produced by Guangzhou Yangming Entertainment Products Co., Ltd.
