Custom Acrylic Mahjong Tiles: Specs Brands Should Lock Before an OEM Quote

Brands lose weeks when an OEM quote starts with “acrylic tiles, nice colors” and nothing else. This page is the pre-quote spec lock for custom acrylic mahjong tiles / acrylic mahjong tiles on American Mah Jongg programs. Commercial landing: custom mahjong tiles hub. Deep finish vocabulary: multi-layer acrylic buyers guide. Ordering path: how to order custom tiles.

Hi Mah Jongg builds multi-layer acrylic American sets factory-direct. Specs below are buyer language — not invented thickness claims or fake Pantone guarantees. Lock what you can; leave the rest as “confirm on sample.”

Specs to lock before the first OEM quote

If you only lock “acrylic,” factories will fill gaps with their default — and your brand deck will not match the carton that arrives.

Brand-side prep that makes quotes comparable

Send the same packet to every factory (or to Hi Mah Jongg once, clearly):

1. One hero reference — photo or designer snapshot from the 3D designer
2. Hex / Pantone targets labeled body vs layers vs fill
3. Logo file if the back or box carries the mark
4. Quantity path — 1 pilot set vs wholesale bands (MOQ & pricing)
5. Packaging intent — export vs gift vs private label
6. Ship-to country

Comparable packets beat shopping “lowest first email price.”

Minimal viable spec paragraph (paste into RFQ)

Use this paragraph when your team is still aligning decks:

American Mah Jongg full set in multi-layer acrylic. Body [color]. Side layers [N] bands outside→inside [colors]. Faces [catalog or custom art ID]. Backs [solid/logo]. Edge finish smooth polish. Approve with physical sample or one pilot set under daylight before bulk. Packaging [export/gift/private label]. Quantity path [1 set / bands]. Ship-to [country].

Then attach files. The paragraph forces every factory to answer the same blocks — which is the point of locking specs before the OEM quote.

Acrylic OEM traps brands hit

• Specifying phone-screen colors without a daylight sample gate
• Custom faces that bury ranks — clubs return them
• Mixing Chinese tile counts into an American listing
• Approving soft-proofs as if they were production fills
• Changing layer order mid-PO without a new art version ID

Full-set context still matters: most programs ship as a custom set, not a bag of orphan tiles.
