Designing Your Poker Chip Label
Copyrighted or trademarked material cannot be placed on a poker chip label. Check with your specific
manufacturer for more information. Some sellers, such as
HomePokerChips, have access to online clipart collections such as Clip-Art.com.
These programs will help you design your poker chip labels. Most of these files are templates to be used with Adobe Photoshop.
You can download a free 30-day trial version of Photoshop here. You
might also be able to use Jasc's Paint Shop Pro. Be warned that these are fairly complicated software applications and there is a rather steep learning curve before you can use
them ... and of course, I will not assist you in any way! Use 300dpi and CMYK colors.
