Among promotional Parker pens, the Jotter Parker pen is the one most people know, a push button ballpoint with the arrow clip, offered in glossy coloured plastic with a polished steel cap, in all stainless steel and in slightly larger XL metal versions with matte and monochrome finishes. Further up, IM Parker pens pair lacquered brass or brushed stainless steel barrels with gold or chrome trims, across ballpoints, capped rollerballs and a pencil. Sonnet models are mostly made in France, with twist action Parker ballpoint pens and rollerballs in black lacquer or satin stainless steel. Urban and Allure add matte black, metallic and silver ballpoints to the mix. Every pen arrives in its own Parker gift box, which is part of why the Parker company pen still gets handed out at big moments.
A newly admitted lawyer opens a boxed Sonnet on the day they're sworn in and gets a pen that feels right at a partner's table. It marks up drafts, signs file notes and sits on the desk through late nights before a hearing. Years later it's still in the jacket pocket, refilled rather than swapped out. For the rest of the floor, cheap metal pens cover everyday writing.
All Parker pens can be branded. Engraved Parker pens show silver on the stainless steel models and gold on most lacquered ones, and for custom Parker pens in full colour, one Sonnet lacquer style can also be printed.
