Custom Promotional Dice
Quick answer
Promotional dice are usually a custom D6 with your logo and brand colors. Print the logo (pad or full-color) or engrave and fill it, match your brand color with Pantone, and pick packaging that suits the use — bulk poly bag for giveaways, or a gift box for VIP gifts. Simple printed D6 have the lowest MOQ and fastest turnaround; plan a comfortable buffer before any event date. For deadlines, ask about lead time up front.
Why dice work as promo items
Dice are tactile, keepable, and on-desk — unlike a flyer, a branded die sticks around. They suit trade shows, game or casino nights, product launches, tabletop and esports events, and premium client gifts. The most common format is a single custom D6 with a logo, but full seven-piece sets work well for gaming audiences.
Branding options
- Logo application. Pad print (simple 1–2 colors, cheapest at volume), full-color UV print (gradients and detailed logos), or engrave-and-fill (premium, durable).
- Brand color. Match your Pantone (PMS) on the die body and/or the ink; approve on a physical sample under daylight.
- Faces. Keep pips, swap numbers for your logo on one or more faces, or use custom icons for a campaign.
Single D6 vs full set
| Custom logo D6 | Full 7-piece set | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Giveaways, mass events | Gamer audiences, VIP gifts |
| Cost / unit | Lowest | Higher |
| MOQ | Lower | ~100+ per design |
| Turnaround | Fastest | Longer |
For a broad giveaway, a printed D6 maximizes reach per dollar. For a gaming-adjacent brand or a high-value gift, a full set (see the 7-piece polyhedral set explained) feels more premium.
Materials and packaging
Acrylic covers most promo work — affordable and takes crisp printing. Step up to metal (metal dice guide) for a weighty executive gift. Packaging sets the tone: bulk poly bags for show floors, or a printed gift box / tin for client gifting (see the packaging guide).
MOQ, pricing, and hitting your event date
Simple printed D6 have the lowest minimum and fastest turnaround; full sets and premium materials cost more and take longer. The single most important step for events is to work backward from the event date with a buffer for sampling, production, and freight — air freight can rescue a tight timeline but costs more (see shipping dice from China). Cost drivers are in the pricing guide.
How to order
- Send your logo as vector art and brand Pantone.
- Choose D6 or full set, material, print/engrave method, and packaging.
- Give your event/gift date so lead time and freight are planned around it.
- Approve a physical sample — logo registration, color, durability.
- Confirm terms and produce with a pre-ship photo.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get dice printed with my company logo?
Yes. Logos can be pad-printed (best for simple 1–2 color marks at volume), full-color UV printed (for gradients and detailed logos), or engraved and ink-filled for a premium, durable finish. Supply the logo as vector art and approve a physical sample for registration and color.
What is the minimum order for promotional dice?
A simple printed custom D6 has the lowest minimum and the fastest turnaround, which is why it is the usual choice for giveaways. Full seven-piece sets and premium materials like metal have higher minimums (around 100+ per design) and longer lead times.
Can you match my exact brand color?
Yes — provide your Pantone (PMS) reference for the die body and/or the ink, and approve it on a physical sample under daylight, since screens misrepresent color. Note that translucent and pearl effects vary slightly between batches.
Will custom dice be ready in time for my event?
Usually yes if you start early. Work backward from the event date with a buffer for sampling, production, and freight. Simple printed D6 turn around fastest, and air freight can save a tight timeline at higher cost — always confirm the lead time before ordering.
Should I order a single D6 or a full set for promotions?
A single logo D6 maximizes reach per dollar for broad giveaways. A full seven-piece set feels more premium and suits gaming audiences or VIP client gifts. Match the format to the audience and budget.
