Corporate Pens

Custom pens here lean heavily on brass, with lacquered barrels in black and colour, duo tone finishes and electroplated bodies with fine guilloche lines on the lower barrel. Carbon fibre patterns appear on several twist styles, sometimes paired with a lacquered brass top. Stainless steel shows up under black rubberised coats with a mirror layer beneath, and aluminium carries the push button side of things with patterned or dimpled rubber grips. Chrome and silver trims finish nearly every barrel. Twist action dominates, though a hexagonal metal pen uses a push button, and a wooden style sits apart from the metal. Refills mix Parker and Cross style fittings, all writing in black.

A volunteer coordinator at a not-for-profit gets a carbon fibre twist pen in their thank you pack after a big fundraising season. What they get is a pen that feels heavy in the hand and writes cleanly at every committee meeting afterwards. It sits on top of the minutes folder, not lost among the freebies. Greener picks live in the enviro pens range.

All of these pens can be branded. Engraving on the rubberised stainless steel barrels shows a tone on tone silver, which gives branded pens a subtle, finished look against the black coating.

Things People Ask

Which custom pens suit a corporate gift that needs to last?
Custom pens in lacquered brass with Parker style refills suit a lasting gift, since spare refills keep the twist action writing in black long after the first one runs out. Chrome and silver trims finish nearly every barrel for a polished look.

What's the difference between Parker style and Cross style refills?
Parker style refills are the larger metal refill found in many of the brass and lacquered twist pens here. The Cross style refill is slimmer and fits the slim lacquered pen, so match the refill type before buying spares.

Which materials are these barrels made from?
Barrels come in brass, aluminium, stainless steel and solid metal, with a single wooden style as well. Finishes on top include lacquer, chrome, matt silver, carbon fibre patterns, rubberised coats and electroplating.

Are custom corporate pens with rubberised coatings hard wearing?
Yes, the rubberised coats on the stainless steel and aluminium styles give a soft grip that resists slipping in the hand. Underneath, a mirror or chrome layer sits on the metal and gives the barrel its depth.
