Custom American Mahjong Tiles: We Design the Whole Set for You
Quick answer: yes — you can order a fully custom American mahjong set, and we build the whole thing for you: tile faces, colors, logos, and materials, from a minimum of 50 sets at about $150 per set. It starts with the short inquiry form at the bottom of this page.
If you spend time in mahjong Facebook groups, you have seen the posts: “Where can I get a set in my club’s colors?” “Can someone put our logo on the one-bam?” “We want 60 custom birthday-party sets.” The appetite for personalized tiles is huge — and until now most people assumed it was impossible, or only for big brands. It isn’t. We make custom American mahjong sets for clubs, shops, families, and events.
What “full customization” actually means
When we say full customization, we mean the design is yours — not a tweak of a stock colorway. Here is what you can specify:
| Element | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Element | What you can do |
| Tile faces | Redraw the artwork, suit symbols, or the one-bam / one-dot hero tile entirely in your style. |
| Color scheme | Pick the tile body color, the engraved/printed ink colors, and the case lining. |
| Logo or monogram | Drop a club crest, shop mark, or family initial onto the back or a hero tile. |
| Material | Acrylic, melamine, or bamboo — the same materials we use on our everyday sets. |
| Packaging | Custom case color, insert card, and a thank-you note for gifting runs. |
| Matching gear | Coordinated racks and bags, plus a mat in your palette. |
You are not limited to one idea. Most custom projects combine several of these — a club colorway with a monogram on the one-bam and a matching case, for example. Send whatever you have: a color swatch, a logo file, or a photo of a set you admire, and we translate it into a production-ready tile.
Why American, and why NMJL-compliant
We build the American edition: 166 tiles including eight jokers, made to work with the National Mah Jongg League’s annual card. That means your custom set is genuinely playable at any U.S. game night, not a novelty that breaks the rules. The custom artwork sits on a real, regulation American set — so the tiles look one-of-a-kind and play exactly like the " + melamine sets + " and " + porcelain sets + " we sell every day. If you are new to the game, the " + current NMJL card + " is the cheat sheet every player builds toward.
The numbers: 50 sets, about $150 each
Custom production carries setup costs, so we set a minimum order of 50 sets. At 50 sets and up, indicative pricing is around $150 per set, depending on material and artwork. Your firm quote comes after we see your design, because a simple custom back costs less than a fully redrawn face. Racks, a mat, and the NMJL card are easy to add.

Who orders custom sets
The short list: mahjong clubs wanting a recognizable house set; gift and home shops wanting an exclusive colorway; corporate gifting teams; event and tournament organizers; and families marking a reunion. If you run a shop rather than ordering one design, our wholesale program may fit better — the custom route is for the design itself, the trade program for volume of existing designs.

Quick Answers
Can you really do a fully custom American mahjong tile face?
Yes. We can redraw tile faces, suit symbols, and hero tiles (like the one-bam), apply a custom color scheme, add a logo or monogram, and even customize the material and packaging. The artwork sits on a real, NMJL-compliant American set, so it plays as well as it looks.
What is the minimum order for custom mahjong tiles?
The minimum custom order is 50 sets. Custom production has setup costs, so below 50 sets the per-set price stops making sense; at 50 and up it becomes practical.
How much do custom American mahjong sets cost?
Indicative pricing is around $150 per set at 50 sets and up, depending on material and how much custom artwork is involved. You receive a firm quote after we see your design.
Are custom sets NMJL-compliant and playable?
Yes. Every custom set we produce is the American edition (166 tiles, eight jokers) built to work with the annual National Mah Jongg League card, so it is playable at any U.S. game night.
How long does a custom mahjong order take?
After your inquiry we send a concept and firm quote, you approve a digital proof, then we produce and ship. Most projects land in a few weeks; tell us your deadline in the form and we will confirm.
