Acrylic or melamine — which is better? It depends on how the set will be used. This guide explains the choice the way we explain it to US retailers, brands and distributors, so you can match the material to your order.

Choose acrylic for a premium gift or private-label set

Choose acrylic when the set is a premium gift or a private-label set. Acrylic suits orders where presentation and branding matter most — a set that carries your logo and your colours, and is sold or gifted as a premium product.

Choose melamine for club, teaching or cost-controlled projects

Choose melamine for club, teaching or cost-controlled programs. Melamine suits sets that will be used again and again by a group, or projects where keeping the cost under control matters — without giving up a proper American Mahjong set.

What both materials share

Whichever material you choose, both are laser engraved — no ink, no stickers and no fading. Every set has 166 tiles: 152 core tiles, 8 flowers and 8 jokers.

How to decide

• Premium gift or private label? Choose acrylic.
• Club, teaching or a cost-controlled program? Choose melamine.
• Not sure yet? Order 1 sample set first, then decide before bulk production.

Customization and ordering

You can customize tile faces and backs, colours, jokers, your logo, racks, pushers, bags, inserts, the retail box and carton marks. Tell us your design and branding requirements in your RFQ and we will confirm what is possible for your order.

You can order 1 sample set before bulk production. Our bulk minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 50 sets. The MOQ and price for your order are confirmed on your quotation.
