Low-MOQ Custom Dice: How to Test a New Line with Just 10 Sets

The biggest thing standing between a good idea and a real product is often the minimum order quantity (MOQ). A high MOQ forces you to gamble on a large run before you know whether the design sells. A low MOQ flips that: you can test a design in a small batch, see how it moves, and only scale the winners. For custom dice, our minimum starts at just 10 sets on gemstone dice — low enough to test a new line without tying up your budget.
Why a low MOQ matters for a new line
A new SKU is a bet. The lower the minimum you can order, the smaller that bet is — and the more different designs you can try for the same budget. For retailers, game stores, and crystal shops, low-MOQ ordering means you can put several stones or colourways on the shelf, see which sell through, and reorder the winners instead of over-committing to one guess.
Our order tiers, from a single sample up
- Custom sample — 1 set. A single fully custom set (your stone, engraving, and packaging mockup) to evaluate before you commit. The sample fee is credited toward your first bulk order.
- Gemstone dice — from 10 sets. Our standard minimum for custom gemstone dice, across all stone types.
- Metal dice — from 100 sets. Higher tooling cost, so the minimum is higher than gemstone.
- Resin & acrylic dice — from 200 sets. Best for colourful, high-volume runs at a lower unit price.
How to reach the minimum in one order
You do not have to order 10 sets of a single design. You can mix stones, colours, and designs to reach a minimum in one order — for example, a few sets each of amethyst, obsidian, and tiger eye to fill a 10-set gemstone minimum. That lets you test a small assortment on your shelf rather than a single SKU, and reach a pricing tier in one purchase.
In-stock models ship even faster
For the fastest turnaround, ask about ready-to-ship stock models. Popular gemstone, resin, acrylic, and metal designs are kept in stock with no tooling wait, so samples and small batches ship in days rather than weeks. Pair a stock model with your own branded packaging for a low-risk, on-brand launch on a short timeline.
How to keep your first order affordable
- Start with a paid sample to confirm the stone, engraving, and finish before you order a batch.
- Choose a stock model where possible to skip tooling fees and lead time.
- Mix designs to reach the minimum instead of over-ordering one SKU.
- Scale only the SKUs that prove themselves — reorder winners at a better unit price.
Once a design proves itself, unit price drops as your volume grows, so you can move a tested SKU up to a larger, more profitable run. Send us the stones, colours, and quantity you have in mind and we will reply with tiered pricing and lead times within 24 hours.
Frequently asked questions
What is the lowest MOQ for custom dice?
Gemstone dice start at just 10 sets. Metal dice start around 100 sets and resin/acrylic around 200 sets, because of higher tooling or high-volume economics. You can also order a single fully custom sample first, with the sample fee credited toward your first bulk order.
Can I mix designs to reach the minimum?
Yes. You can mix stones, colours, and designs to reach a minimum in one order — for example a few sets each of several gemstones to fill a 10-set gemstone minimum.
How fast can a small order ship?
Ready-to-ship stock models have no tooling wait and ship in days. Fully custom small batches take longer because of engraving and finishing, but the low MOQ keeps the order small and affordable.
