Personalising Promotional Pens and Pencils

Promotional Pens and promotional pencils are two of the most commonly used promotional gifts that can be found within most business and corporate environments. These types of promotional gifts meet several essential criteria. Firstly promotional pens and pencils are easy to personalise. With a vast range of colours, materials and combinations to choose from it is easy to create a dramatic impact, and one which will vividly show off your company branding, logo and contact details. Secondly, promotional pens and pencils are used everyday and are collected. Nearly no one will ever turn down a free personalised pen or pencil. Some desktops often have branded desk tidies and pen pots just so that pens and pencils can be kept easily to hand. People may also carry about their favourite promotional pens and pencils within their jackets, case and often in a shirt pocket. Thirdly, promotional pens and pencils come in all sorts of shapes and sizes to suite any budget and marketing program. For example at Redbows, a leading UK promotional gifts suppliers, two general collections are offered – promotional pens and promotional pencils. These general collections of promotional writing instruments include further sub-collections which browsers can then drill down through to find the right pens and pencils for their promotions. Looking at pens, Redbows supplies a vast array of solid plastic pens, frosted plastic pens, executive and multi function pens. In addition there are generally environmentally friendly pen alternatives made from either sustainable or recycled materials. The same can be said or pencils which can be plastic, wooden and again ECO green. In terms of personalisation imprint areas are generally quite small but there are options. Whilst it is common to print directly onto the barrels of pens and pencils, pens also offer the option to apply an imprint to the pen clips. Imprints can also be made in more than one location on a barrel and both pens and pencils can be supplied in gift boxes and pen pouches which can also be branded. Whilst most imprints are one or more colours, with some pens it is possible to offer a full colour printing service and 360 degree wrap. This is a more expensive form of print but does mean that you can cover a pen or pencil with your artwork and apply more than four colours if required. The most common imprint components are company name and logo. Web addresses and contact details are also commonly shown. Web addresses in particular can be a challenge depending upon their length. With relatively small imprint areas it is important not to print them in too small a font. Every component of your imprint has to be legible. Colour choice also plays an important role. With translucent frosted bodies some clients prefer a stark contract in their imprint colour, whereas others opt for a more neutral tone. Some pens also offer the option of using different colour components. Most ballpens are available with black or blue inks and rollersballs. So if you are considering using pens and pencils for a marketing promotion, turn to a professional promotional pens supplier like Redbows.
