The anodizing place that I used for my aluminum poker cases didn't have any setup fees, just MOQs (~$90 per color, with the only selection begin red, blue, gold, silver). If the price of anodizing is a big issue I could check. Only thing is that I'm in Canada, but I don't imagine that shipping all the plates together would be horribly expensive if that was needed. Anodizing was about $12 or so for a poker case, so I imagine these would be similar. Just putting it out there as an option.
