Cheap Promotional Pens

Branded cheap printed pens move up from simple white click pens to brighter barrels with more finish detail. Here's how the styles step up from the basics.

1. White plastic barrels with a push button or twist action, set off by a coloured clip, top or tip, all writing on a tungsten carbide ball.
2. White or silver barrels with coloured rubber grips and chrome trims, giving a softer hold on the page.
3. Tinted transparent, matt and metallic plastic bodies with shiny chrome accents and, on many, a Parker style refill.
4. Multicolour pens with black, blue, red and green ink in one white barrel, plus a rubber grip.

A café manager wants staff to stop borrowing each other's pens when they're writing up orders at the register or taking catering bookings over the phone. A cup of matching click pens by the till sorts it out, and the spares go into takeaway bags for regulars who ask for one. Each pen writes cleanly on docket paper and order slips without smudging.

Most styles can be printed, and many custom cheap printed pens can carry a full colour digital print that keeps gradients smooth on white plastic. A few can be wrap printed. See the full range of pens.
