# Custom Clay Composite RFID Poker Chips | Moulded Chips

Source: https://www.macaumr.com/es/producto/rfid-clay-composite-poker-chips/

FHCM is the custom clay composite poker chip from Macaumr. The body is injection-moulded for a traditional casino weight and edge feel, and the antenna is routed around the outer ring so the field clears the solid metal core. Formats run from a 40 mm round chip to a 95×65 mm plaque.

## What can be customized?

Denomination colours, edge-spot patterns, centre inlay artwork and edge text are set per project on the clay composite body. A bonded copper or brass powder filler can replace the solid metal core where a lighter chip is required; being granular, it does not form a continuous conductive body, and UV ink or laser-etched serials can be added alongside the RFID inlay.

Edge treatment can be round spots, triangular spots, notches, a continuous edge line, a plain edge or a key-pattern edge.

## How does the RFID layer work in this chip?

The clay composite body is injection-moulded around a solid metal core and the antenna runs around the outer ring, outside the core, so the field reaches the tag without passing through metal. Where a lighter chip is required, a bonded copper or brass powder filler replaces the solid core; the powder is granular and does not form a continuous conductor, and the antenna layout is unchanged. Frequency, air interface, IC options and read range are listed in the specification table above.

The body is injection-moulded around a solid metal core and the antenna runs outside it, so the field reaches the tag without passing through metal. Batch reads run on 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), pit and vault checks run on the portable handheld terminal, and identifiers pass to mainstream casino management systems. As passive tags the chips do not require CE-RED or FCC radio certification, which applies to readers rather than tags; a RoHS report can be supplied per project.

## What does the chip report?

The tag carries an encrypted unique identifier and nothing else. Denomination, colour, value and win/loss live in the casino management system, which maps that identifier to a chip record; the chip never stores a balance, and the record survives a lost chip or an offline reader.

## How is the chip ID written?

Every tag is programmed at the factory during chip production, so a custom clay composite poker chip arrives with its identifier already written, and the casino registers that identifier rather than encoding chips itself. On a clay composite body the inlay sits in a recessed patch between the front and back of the moulded body, so the identifier is part of the chip rather than something added at the cage.

## How does it compare with the other chip bodies?

A 40 mm clay composite chip weighs 12.3 g and a 95×65 mm plaque 79.9 g. A 39 mm ceramic chip is 9.7 g, a 40 mm acrylic build without a metal core about 6.7 g, and a 40 mm nylon chip 12.3 g. What defines the clay composite body is the injection moulding: edge and face are formed in one piece around the metal core, which is what gives the traditional casino feel.

## How do you order and accept a shipment?

Custom clay composite 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, confirm 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 the moulded clay face and edge-spot pattern against the proof, sample diameter within ±0.2 mm, thickness within ±0.1 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.
