I'm looking for rather standard dice with one custom side, club logo or other.
Is there a company in the UK.

Many thanks

When you find a company, pass the name onto gripping beast. Their saga dice shortage is, well a ridiculous saga.

If the link above does not get you what you need I know that our club got custom dice made so could find out who we used if you are still stuck.

EM4 does some custom dice types. Not sure they do what you're specifically answering but they're good guys in my book.

I don't know about the UK, but on 125 Street in Harlem you can find custom dice on almost every streetcorner.

I second dice.co.uk . They did the dice for our club, and they were quite helpful, and put up with all my nonsense into thr bargain. :)

Anyone able to comment how much difference that makes to weight and balance of the dice when you get these things done?

I think Warbases does custom 6 sided dice.

Unless you buy precision milled dice.. ie like Casino dice. Then all dice will have some biase to them. As all other dice are moulded on a sprue, clipped off and then put into a rock tumbler to round the endges and remove the over paint, leaving the paint in the lettering/motife.

The result is, they are not evenly balances or accurately balanced in any way. They all have a preference.

Casino dice are milled to 1/5000th of an inch tolerance by law.. most are made to 1/10,000th of an inch tolerance, by comparison to our cheapy dice bunged into a rock tumbler.

Having a custom design, till likley only increase the inconsistancy, depending of course on its size, depth, and volume of material it requires to be removed from the dice.
