From aluminium click pens with rubber grips through to lacquered brass Pierre Cardin styles, these promotional pens cover a lot of ground. Twist action does most of the work across the metal barrels, which come in black lacquer, two tone, carbon fibre patterns and guilloche lines, all set off with chrome trims. Stainless steel styles add a black rubberised coat over a mirror finish, and a plain stainless style has a curved, ergonomic profile. Push button versions mostly sit in aluminium, some with dimpled grips and a wide spread of gloss and matt colours. Refills run on German ink with tungsten carbide balls, and many metal styles use Parker style refills. A wooden style and a hexagonal barrel round it out.
This isn't the pen that gets grabbed from a jar at reception and lost by lunch. For a conveyancer's client sitting down to sign settlement papers, it's the heavy brass pen slid across the desk, the twist that opens smoothly, the one they ask to keep. For lighter giveaways, the cheap plastic pens do that job better, and the wider pens range has plenty more options.
All of these custom pens can be branded. Most metal styles can be engraved, and on the black and chrome barrels the engraving reveals either a silver mirror or a natural etch depending on the finish.
What Buyers Ask
Are these a good gift for real estate agents to give clients? Yes, a metal twist pen works well for agents handing keys to new owners, since the buyer signs the final paperwork with it and takes it home. A Pierre Cardin style with its logo centre ring makes the moment feel like a proper settlement gift.
Which corporate pens are best for accounting firms? Lacquered brass twist pens with Parker style refills are the best fit for accounting firms, because clients can swap the refill and keep the pen for years. Clients use them at tax time appointments to sign returns and engagement letters across the desk.
What should a law firm hand out at a client seminar? Aluminium click pens with rubber grips work well for seminar guests, who take notes through a full session and slip the pen into a jacket pocket afterwards. They're lighter than brass and come in plenty of colours to choose from.
Are promotional pens a good gift for teachers at end of year awards? Promotional pens in metal suit end of year awards and long service presentations for teachers. A Pierre Cardin pen in a lacquered finish gives each teacher something to use every day marking work and signing reports.
