Are you a creator or just creative? Do you have ideas for customising dice? Here are more details on what we can currently offer!
If we haven’t yet met your needs, feel free to contact us by sending us a quick email or calling us directly. We are very flexible and have plenty of solutions to propose!
Size & Weight
We currently have over ten models of dice and 6-sided cubes to offer:
About the dice:
– 1.6 cm dice (4 grams) are ideal for creating custom board games. They can also easily replace a missing die in a game, for example :).
– 2 cm dice (8 grams) are also well suited for creating board games, although classic dice are 1.5 cm, 2 cm dice provide more space for personalisation and perfectly serve their purpose.
– 3 cm dice (15 grams) are our favourite, as they achieve the best balance: not too bulky, practical for playing on a table, and large enough to add plenty of details.
– 4 cm dice (60 grams) offer much more room for personalisation and can serve as original displays without needing to be playable dice. They are ideal for gifts or group use.
– 7.5 cm dice (275 grams) can serve as decorative items and are perfect for large outdoor gatherings or on the floor!
Base & Shape
We aim to offer the purest dice possible.
By default, our dice are non-reflective, unvarnished, and unpainted: All our dice are therefore unique due to the wood grain and imperfections. We have chosen beech wood (or maple for the smallest) as it is very light and offers maximum contrast with the dark engraving.
We can also offer cubic dice in all sizes!
Polyhedral Dice?
In spring 2021, we aimed to produce custom dice with more than 6 sides: dice for 4 sides, 8 sides, 10 sides, 12 sides, and even 20 sides. To achieve this, we launched a Kickstarter and devised a plan to keep our prices low. However, our objective was not met, and we could not invest in new machines/software. Therefore, customisable dice with more sides are unfortunately postponed for now!
Here is a page summarising our adventure on Kickstarter
In any case, we keep this idea in mind and save your requests. We are looking for other funding possibilities to move in this direction. Feel free to follow us on Instagram for updates 🙂
Colours
Since 2023, we have been offering colour marking for a small additional cost to cover our expenses. If you seek to reduce costs, I invite you to use some tricks; for example, to distinguish between two dice:
Marking & Design
All your ideas are welcome! Can’t decide? Have doubts, or have an idea but don’t know how to realise it? Feel free to contact us by email or phone 🙂
Add Your Own Visuals
You can now automatically add your images, making anything possible! Preferably send us images in .jpg/.png or .svg, but we obviously accept all formats!
For more details on the resources to provide:
– Our dice have round faces but feel free to suggest designs that extend over the slanted parts.
– Grey shades will not be considered; we only engrave dark grey/black pixels.
– Our pyrography technique allows a precision of 250dpi.
A standard printer offers ~300dpi, so we are relatively precise; however, expect that black areas may overflow a bit and unengraved areas might be cropped..
Here are some examples of engravings from left to right, on 4 cm, 3 cm, and 2 cm dice:
Need visuals/graphics/custom images?
Depending on the complexity and precision of the request, Thibault can offer you design services. He has previously worked for Ubisoft, Crédit Agricole, Page Jaune, Moulinex, Häagen-Dazs, Alea Jacta Est… trust him!
Bulk Pricing
Whether you are a professional or an individual, we offer bulk pricing starting from 2 dice, with discounts up to -85% for 100,000 units. To see our rates, simply enter the number of dice and the models you want into our customisation module, and the price calculation is automatic. The choice of visuals and text has no impact on our rates.
Excl./ Incl. VAT
Currently, we only offer prices including VAT, even to our professional partners. We operate as a micro-enterprise and are exempt from VAT for now!
Packaging
By default, we do not use special packaging to avoid filling your bins with plastic bags and cardboard that won’t really be used. We simply place the dice in thick envelopes or boxes for shipping: our envelopes are made of recycled cardboard and our boxes are mainly reused packages or boxes.
Since our dice are often given as gifts, we do offer linen bags at €1 each. No matter the size, you can add them directly to your cart!
To accommodate all sizes of dice, we have three types of bags:
Our small bags can hold up to 4 dice of 2cm or 1 die of 3cm
Our medium bags can hold up to 15 dice of 2cm or 5 dice of 3cm or 2 dice of 4.3cm
Our large bags can hold up to 9 dice of 4.3cm or 2 dice of 7.5cm
Delivery
We deliver all over the world!
Shipping costs are automatically calculated once the delivery address is provided, and these costs are those of our shipping partners.
Make Your Games!
More than just creating custom dice, create a game that reflects you. A game is not just another medium. Interactive, playful, innocent yet not entirely: stack the odds in your favour and make your games!
Are you the type to win every time? Do you trust fate? What penalties would trap future players? What rewards would they like? What types of decisions should the die settle?
In any case, at Alea Jacta Est, we are not limited to dice but will soon offer custom wooden tokens, custom wooden boards, and always “made in France”!
For now, tell us about your projects, and we will provide you with our rates!
