Spend a week in any mahjong Facebook group and a pattern emerges. The same handful of questions about custom tiles gets asked over and over, usually answered by someone guessing. We build these sets, so here are straight answers — the ones we wish every group thread ended with.
The questions we see most
| The question | The short answer |
|---|---|
| The question | The short answer |
| “Can I get a fully custom face?” | Yes — redraw faces, suits, or the hero tile. |
| “What’s the minimum?” | 50 sets. Below that, the price stops making sense. |
| “How much?” | About $150 per set at 50+, depending on artwork. |
| “Can you put my logo on it?” | Yes — on the back or a hero tile. |
| “Will it still be playable?” | Yes — built as a real NMJL-compliant American set. |
What you can actually put on a tile
More than most people expect. Beyond the colorway, you can redraw the suit artwork, replace the standard back with a club crest or monogram, stamp a logo on the one-bam, and even customize the case and the " + matching racks and bags + ". Material is your call too: we produce in acrylic, melamine, and bamboo, the same families we carry as " + ready-made sets + ". The only real constraint is legibility — a tile still has to be readable across the table, so we keep suit symbols clear even inside a custom design.
What it costs, and how long it takes
Because custom work has setup, we set the floor at 50 sets and price from there at roughly $150 per set. A simple custom back is cheaper than a fully redrawn face; materials shift the number a little. Timeline is straightforward: you send ideas, we return a concept and a firm quote, you approve a digital proof, then we produce and ship — usually a few weeks. Tell us your event date in the form and we will tell you if it is realistic.
Not 50 sets? Two paths
If you only need a handful of sets for a family, a plain custom run is not economical — but you still have options. You can start a group order with your Facebook community to reach the 50-set minimum together, or you can shop our " + existing designer colorways + " for a set that already feels personal. And if you actually run a shop, our wholesale program handles volume of current designs separately from one-off custom work.
The throughline: custom mahjong tiles are no longer a mystery or a luxury reserved for brands. They are a 50-set, ~$150-each, fully-playable reality — and the form below is where yours begins. Want the full walkthrough of how a custom order is built? Read our guide to designing the whole set.

Quick Answers
Can I really get a fully custom mahjong tile face?
Yes. You can redraw faces and suit symbols, apply a custom color scheme, and add a logo or monogram. The artwork is applied to a real, NMJL-compliant American set.
What is the minimum order for custom mahjong tiles?
The minimum is 50 sets. Custom production has setup costs, so a smaller run is not economical; group orders are a common way to reach the minimum.
How much do custom mahjong tiles cost?
Indicative pricing is about $150 per set at 50 sets and up, depending on material and artwork complexity. You get a firm quote after sharing your design.
Can I put my club or company logo on the tiles?
Yes. A logo or monogram can go on the tile back or a hero tile such as the one-bam, and you can carry the same mark through the case and matching racks.
Will a custom set still be NMJL-compliant and playable?
Yes. Custom sets are built as the American edition (166 tiles, eight jokers) to work with the annual NMJL card, so they play at any standard U.S. game night.
What if I need fewer than 50 sets?
A single small custom run is not economical. Consider a group order with your community to reach 50 sets, or choose an existing designer colorway that already feels personal.
