Parker Pens

From a glossy plastic Jotter with a polished steel cap through to a Sonnet with 23 carat gold plated trims, custom Parker pens take a big jump in finish across these styles. Stainless steel Parker pens make up a large share, with brushed IM ballpoints and rollerballs, satin Sonnet barrels and all metal Parker Jotter pens in black, royal blue and red. Lacquered brass brings gloss and matte black finishes to the IM and Sonnet families, and the Jotter XL uses a slightly larger metal barrel in matte grey, blue, gold and rose gold. Writing options run from push button and twist action ballpoints to capped rollerballs and an IM pencil, all presented in a Parker gift box.

At a regional business awards night, each finalist finds a boxed IM ballpoint on their chair. The small business of the year winner uses it ten minutes later to sign the guest book, then again the next morning to write up an order at the cafe counter she runs. It lives by the till now, next to the docket book, well away from the cheaper pens the staff borrow.

All Parker pens can be branded, with most styles suited to engraving or printing. The sandblasted black lacquer Sonnet ballpoint can be printed in full colour, so branded Parker pens with gradient or multi colour logos come out cleanly.

Before You Order

What metals are used in Parker pens?
Barrels and caps use brass or stainless steel, with the brass finished in gloss or matte lacquer and the steel in brushed, satin or polished finishes. Trims are chrome, nickel palladium or 23 carat gold plated, depending on the model.

Are these pens made in France?
Most Sonnet models, the stainless steel Jotter styles, the Jotter XL Monochrome versions and the IM lacquer rollerballs are made in France. Other styles in the range don't list a country of origin in their product details.

Which ink do Parker pens write in?
Every pen in the range writes in black ink, with medium points on the ballpoints and most rollerballs. The Sonnet Laque rollerball uses a fine Quink Flow point, and the blue grey IM rollerball takes Quink rollerball refills.

Which custom Parker pens suit a large staff giveaway?
The Jotter Original covers big staff groups, with a moulded glossy plastic barrel, a polished stainless steel cap and chrome trims. For an all metal option, the stainless steel Jotter and the larger Jotter XL both use metal barrels and still arrive in a Parker gift box.
