Sunday Knight builds branded American mahjong programs in cast acrylic — themed tile sets, racks with pushers, travel cases, and matching table accessories — from one workshop. Send a brief. Get a spec and a unit price, not a catalog screenshot.
What a Sunday Knight mahjong program includes
American play is not a 144-tile Chinese set with extra stickers. A usable NMJL program starts at 152 playing tiles (8 jokers, 8 flowers) and usually ships as 160–166 tiles with blanks and spare jokers. Racks, pushers, and a case are what clubs and gift brands actually unbox.
Tile sets
NMJL 152 / boxed 160–166. Single-layer or 4-layer laminated cast PMMA. Standard American faces, seasonal collections, or a full original artwork set.
Racks & pushers
16″, 17.5″, and 18–20″ club lengths. Clear, pearl, tinted, or tortoise. Straight or scalloped edge. Slide, pin, or magnetic pusher.
Cases & table kit
Acrylic display box, lockable gift case, or soft travel bag. Dice, wind indicator, betting chips, mat, and card stand as a matched bundle.
Themed colorways — six directions from one factory
The hero shot above is a working sample board, not a stock catalog. Each arc is a different American program Sunday Knight can lock as a brand collection:
| Heritage / holiday white | Hamsa, pomegranate, and menorah faces on white bodies with a pale-blue edge — club and gift programs that need a cultural story on the tile, not only on the box. |
|---|---|
| Four-layer floral | Cream faces with peony art and a yellow–mint striped laminated back. The middle layer is visible on the edge; that is the 4-layer build buyers mean by “luxury acrylic.” |
| Regional mint | Mint-green bodies with cactus, bird, star, and state-outline marks. Typical of a destination or member-club exclusive. |
| Cobalt luxury | White faces, royal-blue backs, teal laminated core. Dots and bams stay readable; the color lives in the body, not a sticker. |
| Seasonal Christmas | Red backs, snowflake dots, gnome and hat jokers. Built as a limited holiday drop, then retired so next year’s card can change. |
| Ice-blue engraved | Pale-blue backs, pink Western numerals, flower honors, W wind, and a marked Joker — the quiet “everyday American” set. |
Sheet color is chosen from Sunday Knight’s acrylic color swatches and can also be matched to a buyer Pantone or physical sample. Custom casting beyond the published swatch range is quoted on the program, not assumed as stock.
Why acrylic for a premium American set
Melamine is light and loud. Bone-and-bamboo does not take brand colorways. Cast PMMA sits in the middle: heavier than resin, optically clean, and stable under indoor LED.
- Laser engraving and UV fill that hold up to club nights
- Color from published PMMA swatches, or a custom match
- Optional 4-layer build with a translucent, striped, or printed core
- Polished chamfer so tiles rack without catching
- RoHS / REACH sheet; food-contact grades on request
Customization that buyers actually order
Sunday Knight fabricates from sheet in-house — CNC, laser, diamond polish, UV print, solvent bond — so a tile face change and a rack colorway stay on the same schedule.
| Tiles | Standard American size with custom options at 30×23×13 mm, 32×23×13 mm, or 36×25×15 mm. Solid, frosted, tinted, or 4-layer. Custom jokers, flowers, and back-mark branding. |
|---|---|
| Marking | Laser etch + UV color fill. Western numerals for American play. Brand monogram on the Joker (as in the pink SK set below) or full original artwork where rights are cleared. |
| Color | Pick from the acrylic color swatch library, or send a Pantone / physical chip. Body, core, and rack do not have to share one color. |
| Racks | Clear, pearl white, dark green, pastel four-color, tortoise / leopard sheet. Logo on the body or pusher arm. Magnetic or mechanical pusher. |
| Case & mat | Five-sided acrylic box, hinged gift case, lockable retail, or branded soft bag. Neoprene or linen mat in a color that matches the tile story. |
| MOQ | 300–500 sets per unique design, confirmed on the quote. A unique design means one tile artwork + one body colorway. |
| Lead time | Pre-production sample 25–30 days, $350–$550 per set. Mass production about 70–90 days after sample approval. |
Who this line is for
Mahjong brands & DTC shops
Seasonal colorways, a signed Joker, and a rack that matches the tile story — tiles and accessories from one drawing pack.
Clubs, resorts, private members
Member-monogram racks, locker cases, and a tile spec that can be reordered when the next wing opens.
Corporate & wedding gifting
Logo on the Joker or tile back, a presentation box, and a run size that is a gift program, not a container of leftovers.
Retailers & OEM programs
Neutral packaging or private label. Repeat POs from locked drawings so the second shipment matches the first.
Format reference
| Format | Playing tiles | What to specify |
|---|---|---|
| American NMJL | 152 (8 jokers + 8 flowers) | Western numerals, joker art, racks required |
| Boxed American retail | 160–166 with blanks / extra jokers | Spare count, case type, 4-rack color story |
| Chinese / Hong Kong | 144 (no jokers) | Different flower/season faces; racks optional |
If a supplier quotes “mahjong set” without the joker count, it is usually a 144-tile Chinese mold. Sunday Knight locks the format on the drawing before cutting sheet.

Frequently asked questions
Do you manufacture complete American mahjong sets or only racks?
Both. Sunday Knight is an acrylic fabrication factory. The catalog already covers American racks, magnetic pushers, and tile pushers. Custom tile sets, display cases, and full kits (tiles + 4 racks + case + dice / wind / chips) are built on the same process list.
How many tiles should I order for American play?
Order 152 playing tiles for NMJL rules (36 craks, 36 bams, 36 dots, 16 winds, 12 dragons, 8 flowers, 8 jokers). Most retail boxes add blanks and extra jokers for a 160 or 166 count. State the boxed count on the PO so packing trays are cut once.
What is the MOQ?
The MOQ for custom acrylic American mahjong sets is 300–500 sets per unique design. A unique design is one artwork plus one body colorway. Accessory-only runs are quoted separately if they introduce a new setup.
How fast is a custom order?
A usable brief gets a quote during factory hours. Pre-production samples take 25–30 days and cost $350–$550 per set. Mass production is about 70–90 days after sample approval. That date is written on the quote before deposit.
Can you match a color that is not on the swatch page?
Start with the acrylic color swatches. If the program needs a color outside that library, send a Pantone or a physical chip. Custom matching is available; it is priced on the program, not treated as a stock sheet.
What files do you need?
Quantity, destination, tile size, format (152 / 160 / 166), and vector logo or joker art (AI, PDF, SVG, or high-res PNG). A marked photo is enough to start a first quote.
Do you protect brand artwork?
Artwork is used only to produce your order. It is not reused on another customer’s set. An NDA can be signed when the program requires it.
Where do you ship?
Worldwide from Dongguan. Express courier for samples; air, sea, or rail for bulk. Duty-paid delivery is available for the US, EU, UK, and most Asian destinations.
