I'm asking for help, as usual.
I need say 200 x 1" or 25mm plastic discs (cheaper than acrylic but I could consider it), preferably all the same colour. No smaller or larger sizes can be used.
Is there a Thai supplier, I guess there must be? I tried Lazada and Shopee, which offered me Ubuy, Ebay, etc, with import costs and the rest.
Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Re: Buying small plastic discs in bulk - where?
You do not say how thick... But if all else fails go to Home Pro, buy a 1" hole punch and a big hammer. Punch them out of a big plastic paint bucket. Or any other piece of plastic the color and thickness you want Like any other scrap or a cheap plastic bucket or other item the color and thickness you want. If using a brittle type of plastic you might need to heat it a bit to prevent shattering.

I'd like to work with 4-5mm thick material. Thanks for the idea, I guess plastic bucket sides will be curved, but soft or warmed flat sheets of plastic would be OK, although I don't fancy chamfering down the edges of 200 discs!hin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2024 6:39 pm You do not say how thick...

Go back to lazada Thailand and search for plastic coins. There are several options available in bundles of 100 at a cost of approx 150 baht including “gold treasure coins.”
Edit…. If you search for “game tokens” that will give you a choice of metal coins.

Thanks, I did eventually find them on Lazada or Shopee. It was quite hard to find 2.4cm/1" discs though, and the ones I found are OK but the box is a couple of millimeters narrower than they advertise and the discs can't be stored tidily, so I've had to buy storage boxes from another site! But I'm finally sorted.
