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. Confirm the sample fee and any credit terms in your quotation.
• Gemstone dice — from 10 sets. Our standard minimum for custom gemstone dice; confirm any proposed stone and design mix in your quotation.
• Metal dice (separate Dice Works brand) — from 100 sets. Higher tooling cost, so the minimum is higher than gemstone.
• Resin & acrylic dice (separate Dice Works brand) — from 200 sets. Best for colourful, high-volume runs at a lower unit price.

How to reach the minimum in one order

To plan a small assortment, send the stones, colours, designs, and quantity per option you want — for example, a few sets each of amethyst, obsidian, and tiger eye. Ask us to confirm whether that proposed mix meets the 10-set gemstone minimum and qualifies for a pricing tier. An approved assortment lets you test several options on your shelf before reordering the winners.

In-stock models ship even faster

For the fastest turnaround, ask about available stocked gemstone dice models. Stocked CuiShen gemstone dice usually dispatch within 1–3 business days after order confirmation; confirm the selected design and quantity. Resin, acrylic, and metal dice are offered under the separate Dice Works brand. Custom packaging timing is confirmed according to material, quantity and craftsmanship.

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.
• Ask whether your proposed mix of designs meets the minimum before placing the order.
• 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.
