Logo Printed Pens, Pencils and Highlighters
Promotional Pens are one of the most widely distributed promotional giveaways. The vast range available offers many options for personalisation in terms of colours, imprint areas and mechanical form. No matter what the industry, promotional pens are always seen as a worthwhile marketing investment. They offer a great way to promote a brand name, website address and contact details and can be used at trade shows, exhibitions, conferences and sales visits, as well as with direct mail promotions, literature packs and as general office items.

General Promotional Pen Considerations and Personalisation Options
Environmentally Friendly Branded Pens
ECO environmentally friendly pen alternatives are available. These can be made from recycled plastics, papers, clothing, money and plant materials. The wooden versions tend to be made from wood farmed from sustainably managed forests.
Promo Pens and Quantity Pricing
Typical order quantities for pens run from 100-250 pieces. Given the low unit cost of some plastic pens this represents a small investment for most companies.
The unit costs are low for this popular type of promotional giveaway. Pricing is off course quantity dependent and metal and leading brand pens (Parker Pens) tend to carry a premium.
Delivery Timescales
Most pens are available within ten working days. Express delivery pens are generally available within three to five working days and we have some on 24hour delivery.
Plain Stock Pens
Plain stock pens are available on application and can be personalised by our clients.
Additional Options
Pen sets present a more premium image for a product that is essentially seen as a giveaway. These can be packaged into presentation boxes and pen pouches to protect them.
Logo Branding and Pen Personalisation
For such products the branding areas are small and are limited to the length of the pen barrel, and sometimes additionally the pen clips. Attention needs to be given as to what to print on the pen barrel and clips. Often clients will put a phone number or short website address on the clip, with their logo and main contact details on the barrel. This choice is very much dependent upon the length of the company name and website address. The most common branding technique is screen printing and a one colour print can have a high impact on a contrasting barrel colour. Promotional pens can be branded in more than one position and for some pens we offer a complete 360 degree wrap around print. Metal pens can be laser engraved.

Bespoke Pen Projects
There are so many different branded pens and options available but sometimes you cannot find exactly what you need for your campaign or you or your client simply want to consider a bespoke pen. There are two choices here.
The first is to give us a complete brief of what you want from your pen and we can then search through our supply chain to find more pens that could more closely match your brief. This an extensive sourcing task but one we have completed for other clients.
The second alternative can cost more unless the manufacturing and print run is exceptionally large and that is to consider a bespoke pen project. For this we need a brief and we can then provide you with a cost and timescales.
