Custom acrylic American Mahjong set — tiles fanned on dark navy surface with open storage case and tile racks

152-tile custom set · cast acrylic PMMA · full-color tile face printing

One rule before we start

American Mahjong (NMJL standard) has a fixed tile composition — the game can't be played without the right tiles. What you customize is the artwork and presentation, not the tile structure.

Fixed: Tile count · tile types · game rules
Yours to design: Tile face artwork · colors · case · racks · packaging

Step 1

Choose your tile count

American Mahjong requires more tiles than Chinese or Japanese sets. Always confirm your count before ordering — a 144-tile Chinese set cannot be used to play American rules.

152
NMJL Standard
108 suit tiles (Craks, Dots, Bams)
16 wind tiles (N, E, S, W)
12 dragon tiles (Red, Green, White)
8 flower tiles
8 joker tiles (wildcard)

Tournament-legal. Clubs and competitive buyers who specify NMJL-exact.

What are blank tiles? Blank tiles in 160/166 sets are plain, unprinted spares for replacements only — not wildcards. If a tile is lost or damaged, an end user can write or sticker the correct face on a blank. Jokers are the only wildcards in American Mahjong.

Step 2

Design your set

Three surfaces to make the set yours. Most orders customize all three — but you can start with tiles-only if packaging comes later.

Tile Face Design

Step 3

How ordering works

Five steps from first email to finished sets at your door. Most orders receive a quote within 12 hours.

1
Tell us what you need

Use the form below or email inquiry@wetopacrylic.com with your intended use (retail / gift / club), tile count (152 / 160 / 166), quantity, and design direction.

2
Send reference material

Share artwork files, inspiration images, a competitor set you like, or your brand style guide. No design team? A photo or mood board is enough — we handle the rest.

3
Approve your digital proof

We produce a 2D mockup of all tile faces before cutting any acrylic. Nothing enters production without your sign-off.

4
Sample order (recommended)

First-time buyers or new designs: a small sample run lets you verify color accuracy, tile weight, and packaging fit before committing to full quantity.

5
Full production & ship

~20 business days (varies by complexity). Ships FOB Shenzhen — DDP available. You receive tracking and QC photos before the cargo leaves the warehouse.

Nothing cuts without your approval.

Every project starts with a digital proof. You review every tile face and approve before we produce a single piece.

Step 4

Preparing your artwork

To produce your tiles, we need print-ready files. You don't need to redesign all 152 tiles individually — only the unique faces.

File & color specifications

File Format
Adobe Illustrator (.AI) or PDF — preferred
Also accepted: PNG or JPG at 300 DPI minimum. SVG for flat designs.
Color Mode
CMYK — preferred
RGB accepted — we convert before production. Note: color shift possible. A pre-production proof call is recommended for color-critical work.
No Design Team?
Send us a reference — we'll do the rest
A competitor set, mood board, color palette, or brand style guide is enough. Ask about design fees and revision rounds.

How many files do you need?

You only design each unique face once — identical tiles share the same file.

Common questions

152, 160, or 166 — which should I order for retail?
Order 160. The 2 spare Jokers and 6 blank replacement tiles add minimal cost per set but eliminate returns from a single damaged tile. The 166 format is also fine if you want to match the Amazon retail standard. Reserve 152-tile orders for tournament or club buyers who specify NMJL-exact.
Can I order tiles only — without the case or racks?
Yes. Tiles-only orders are available at the same MOQ. Specify "tiles only" in your inquiry. Some buyers source cases locally or use existing branded packaging — that's fine.
Why can't I use a 144-tile set for American Mahjong?
The 8 missing tiles are all Jokers — a tile type that does not exist in Chinese Mahjong. Jokers are wildcards required for American Mahjong gameplay. A 144-tile Chinese set simply doesn't have them, so you cannot play American rules with it.
Can you match a competitor set's tile size and weight?
Yes. Send us a physical sample or measurements (L × W × H in mm, weight in grams) and we'll match to spec. We can also increase tile thickness for a "heavier" premium feel compared to mass-market sets.
Can I get a clear acrylic display case for shelf display?
Yes — this is a popular retail add-on. A clear acrylic display case (UV-printed base, lift-off lid or clamshell) lets buyers display the set on a shelf instead of a bag. Specify tile footprint and opening style when you inquire.
I'm reselling to retail stores. Can you add branded outer packaging?
Yes. We produce branded outer cartons with your SKU, barcode, and product description. Individual set packaging — insert card, tissue wrap, ribbon — is also available for premium gift positioning.
Are your tiles compliant with NMJL tournament rules?
Our sets meet the physical composition requirements: 152 tiles with the correct suit, honor, and Joker counts. NMJL official tournament certification is a process managed by the NMJL itself — manufacturers don't receive direct "NMJL-certified" status, but our sets are fully compliant with the standard for club and casual play.
How do I pay safely from overseas?
We accept T/T (bank transfer), PayPal, and Western Union. Standard terms: 50% deposit before production, 50% balance before shipment. Every transaction comes with a formal invoice. Established clients can request flexible payment terms.
