Paper Mate Pens
Barrel finish is where these branded Paper Mate pens for hotels differ most, followed closely by ink type and grip.
- Click Pens: InkJoy retractables with rubberised grips, in coloured or white barrels with black or matching colour ink.
- Gel Pens: Smudge-free, quick-drying gel ink in a comfort grip body, plus a retractable gel pen with a soft touch grip.

A guest checks in late, sits at the desk in their room and jots the Wi-Fi password and tomorrow's taxi time on the notepad. The pearl barrel pen beside it writes smoothly first go, and the metal clip makes it easy to slip into a shirt pocket. In the morning it goes into their laptop bag and travels on to their next meeting.
Most styles can be printed, and the white barrels on the stick and click styles give printed Paper Mate pens a sharp, high-contrast backdrop for a logo. For greener picks, see our enviro pens.
Common Questions
What is smudge-free gel ink?
Smudge-free gel ink is a gel formula that dries on the page quickly, so it doesn't smear when a hand drags across the line. The InkJoy gel pens use it, and the pen body shows the ink colour inside.
Are branded Paper Mate pens a good fit for hotel rooms and front desks?
Yes, the Element pens with pearlised, white or translucent barrels and metal pocket clips look smart on a guest room desk. InkJoy click pens with rubberised grips suit busy front desks, since the retractable point leaves no cap to lose.
Which of these pens use PVC free plastic?
The Write Bros stick pens, the InkJoy click pens and the InkJoy gel pens all use PVC free plastic. Element pens pair plastic barrels with metal pocket clips, so they're a plastic and metal mix.
Is the ink colour matched to the barrel?
On the InkJoy colour ink click pens it is, so the barrel tells you the ink colour at a glance. The black ink versions come in a choice of barrel and trim colours instead.
