Poker chip cases
Everyone loves to play poker with a great set of clay poker chips, but when you're done you need somewhere to put them. Poker chip cases are an important part of any poker chip set.
When choosing a poker chip case you should first decide what size you need. Poker chip cases generally range in sizes from 100 poker chips to 2000 poker chips.
You generally won't find any poker chip cases with a capacity of more than 2000 poker chips because the weight of the poker chips becomes too much to safely support.
Once you have chosen how many chips you need your poker chip case to hold it's time to choose what kind of poker chip case you want. Poker chip cases come in 3 major categories: carousels, briefcases, and humidor style boxes.
Poker chip carousels are round rotating cases where the poker chips are positioned in vertical stacks on the outside so that the banker can easily deal chips out. Most poker chip carousels are made of wood and hold between 200 and 500 poker chips.
Poker chip briefcases are the most popular type of case. The most common poker chip cases are aluminum poker chip cases. Aluminum poker chip cases are inexpensive and durable and have a nice modern look.
When looking at attache cases to inspect the construction. Many poker chip cases, though they may look the same on the outside, have cheap inadequate materials on the inside.
Stay clear of any poker chip cases with plastic PVC trays for the chips. These trays are prone to breaking quickly under the weight of chips themselves.
Also be weary of poker chip cases that have glued in dividers. Again, because an average 500 11.5 gram poker chip set weighs roughly 20 pounds, glued in dividers can break and become unglued quickly under the weight of the poker chips.
Instead of cases with glued in dividers or plastic trays, look for a poker chip case with a single wood tray for the poker chips. These are much more durable and a better value for the money.
The last kind of poker chip case are the humidor style cases. Da Vinci Imports carries a wide variety of glossy wood poker chip cases made by a humidor manufacturer.
These are the nicest kind of poker chip case on the market and really bring a premium feel to any poker chip set.
Da Vinci Imports carries a wide selection of poker chip cases ranging in all different sizes and types. Briefcase style poker chip cases are available in either aluminum or genuine leather.
Wood poker chip cases are available both as humidor style boxes without handles and as attache cases with handles. Because wood poker chip cases are a premium item, we recommend pairing them with clay poker chips and plastic playing cards.
Clay poker chips are considered to be the best poker chips for the home market and go well with wood poker chip cases. Plastic playing cards are also considered to be a premium item over traditional playing cards.
Plastic playing cards, such as Da Vinci Playing Cards, last up to 100 times longer than a tradtional deck of paper playing cards and make a great accent to a high end poker chip set.
