FAQ

What are “aligned” chips? Why do they cost more than ‘non-aligned”chips?Alignment is when a pattern, colour strips, stripes or edge spots on the face of the chips extend down to line up with the edge. Alignment can make chip designs more unique and creative, and increases the security of chips and designs as they are extremely difficult to manufacture or reproduce accurately. It is natural or ABS chips to line up perfectly as they have been injected directly from a mold. The process is extremely complicated and difficult on ceramic chips as they are printed by using a semi hand made process, so to line up faces with the rolling edge causes productivity to drop up to 1/5 the normal speed, and increases the possibility of excess waste. Image 1 shows an aligned and non-aligned chip. Here it is show that the stripes from the face of the chip extend and line up with the stripes on the edges. Image 2 show an example of what a non-aligned chip looks like once we have changed the rolling edge design, so alignment would no longer be necessary.
