"Acrylic token and marker options?" Topic

I think Litko acrylic markers and tokens are fantastic. Great quality. They are also not cheap. What alternate vendors or techniques do you use to acquire or make high presentation value tokens? I'm looking for common, generic ones such as ammo, out of ammo, pinned, overwatch, and similar varieties. I'm not interested in anything paper.

I'm currently thinking about using the generic round acrylic chits which are sold in bulk and in various colors and sizes on Amazon for cheap. Then printing the markers on iron-on sheets and applying them to the chits. It looks to be time consuming , not as nice as the Litko products, and in the end, not saving much cash unless my time is worthless and I create probably way more than I need.

Painted pennies.

Bingo Covers which are likely the acrylic chits you are describing.

Get yourself some full sheet label paper. Print off your marker designs on a full sheet label, cut out, peel-n-stick to your markers (bingo chips, poker chips, whatever).

Full sheet label paper is available for inkjet, photocopiers, and laser jet printers, at office supply stores and Amazon. You can print B&W, or color.

If you want to go entirely craft project on this, you can print your labels, apply them to chipboard, cover with Clear Contact Paper (translucent clear kitchen shelf liner) to make them water resistant, and cut them out to shape and size.

Back in the 2000's, I printed Hidden Deployment, Heavy Mortar, Prone, and Sniper markers, on colored 110# card stock, laminated the sheets with Clear Contact Paper, then I cut them out. I still use them, today, 20+ years later. Cheers!

I've used small red beads for wound markers.

Also, considered getting larger beads in various colors for other markers. I plan a side chart for reference of effects.

My spaceship game uses color cardboard chit (like in old style board games) for on board information.

I use 1/8" square balsa strip cut into 3/8" lengths and painted.
