As the saying goes The pen is mightier than the sword. Although this well known saying generally refers to the idea that information or knowledge is more powerful than a weapon, there is some truth in it when it comes to marketing and advertising. Promotional pens and writing instruments are the preferred choice for many organisations and businesses who wish to push to the forefront of their particular sectors. This certainly rings true when you take into consideration that these promo pens can literally find themselves in the hands of many other people who in turn could become your future customers. Put simply, custom logo imprinted promotional pens and writing instruments are the ideal advertising vehicle for directing customers and sales to your door.
Promotional gifts such as pens are extremely powerful merely for the fact that these low cost items are probably one of the most useful office items of all time. Lets face it; everyone needs a pen at some point. Ask yourself: how many times have you asked someone if you could borrow a pen? When you think of it like this, in the workplace this is probably one of the most commonly asked questions and when you align this thought with the fact that a distinctive plastic pen or emblazoned with your logo and telephone number can be an amazing marketing and advertising weapon.
Metal pens are equally as powerful and these are perfect for handing out to your most deserving employee who you feel have stepped up to the mark as a recognition gift. The pen you gift, or it could even be pen set, will continually act as a reminder to an employee of your generosity as an employer and will go a great way to boosting morale. Gifting promotional metal pens to customers is also an assured way to get a positive result. If you select a stylish option, they will use the pen on a regular basis and be reminded daily that you went the extra mile for them. This in turn will lead to increased customer loyalty and as a result directly increase your bottom line.

Minimums vary by pen, and metal is often lower than plastic. Metal pens start as low as 10, with most between 25 and 100. Plastic ballpens are usually 250 or 500, though a few start at 25. The exact figure is shown on each product page.
Quickly if you need to. Many pens dispatch within 48 hours of artwork approval on our express service, and most others are branded within 5 working days. We deliver right across the UK, from London and Manchester to Scotland and Wales, and can arrange international delivery too; your account manager confirms timescales with your quote.
Yes to both. We'll send a free sample so you can check the pen before you commit, and once you order you'll get a free artwork proof by email — usually the same day — to approve before we print.
There's a one-off set-up charge per order to print your logo (shown on each product page). And yes, we price-match: find the same printed pen cheaper and we'll match it, usually beat it, with our award-winning UK service alongside.
It depends on the pen. Plastic barrels are screen- or pad-printed, or full-colour with our UltraHD™ process; metal pens are usually laser-engraved for a permanent finish. Because a pen's print area is small, simple bold logos reproduce best. You can send your artwork as a jpg, png or vector EPS, AI or PDF and our team will confirm what works and where it sits on the barrel. For more about artwork and printing options, read our artwork guidelines.
Yes. We keep your artwork on file (typically around three years), so reordering is quick. Just let your account manager know and we'll match your previous print exactly.
