Direct answer
Many American Mahjong groups keep score or settle each hand with chips or coins, so tokens are a natural add-on for a custom set or gift bundle. For a brand, chips are an easy place to repeat collection colors and a logo. Specify the material, size, colors, how values are shown, quantity per set and where the chips sit in the packaging, and include them in your sample.
Key takeaways
- Groups use tokens to track points or settle each hand without handling cash at the table.
- Decide how many chips per color and how they will be stored.
- Coordinated colors make the set look like one collection.

Key takeaways
- Chips are optional but popular, especially for gift and premium sets.
- Match colors to the collection so the set looks complete.
- Make values easy to read with color coding or printed numbers.
- Plan packaging space. Chips add weight and need a compartment.
- Consider selling chips separately as an accessory SKU.
Why players use chips or coins
Groups use tokens to track points or settle each hand without handling cash at the table. Some prefer simple colored chips; others like coin-style tokens. Ask your target customers what they use before deciding.
Material options
