Choosing the right branded pen
Start with who the pen is for and how many you need. For exhibitions, mailers and reception desks, a plastic push-button ballpen gives you the most logos for your budget. Our Branded Pens Under 50p and Branded Pens Under £1 ranges are the place to start, with Budget Pens for the largest runs.
For staff, conferences and sales teams, step up to a metal pen or a soft-feel barrel. They feel heavier in the hand and last longer, so they stay in use for months. For clients and long-service awards, choose a premium brand-name pen from Parker, Cross, Waterman or Pierre Cardin, with boxed gift sets available.
Printed, full colour or engraved?
- Spot colour print suits logos in one or two solid colours and is the most economical option on plastic pens.
- Full colour print reproduces photos, gradients and multi-colour logos exactly, and some pens can be printed all the way round the barrel (full colour wrap pens).
- Laser engraving on metal pens cuts the logo into the finish. It never rubs off and gives a subtle, premium look.

Eco-friendly pens
If sustainability matters to your brand, there are recycled pens made from recycled plastic, aluminium or card, plus bamboo pens and eco-friendly pencils. Many are made in Europe, which shortens the supply chain.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to get pens printed with my logo?
A plastic ballpen with a one-colour print on the barrel or clip. Larger quantities bring the unit price down. Our Branded Pens Under 25p range is the lowest-cost starting point.
Can you engrave pens with our logo?
Yes. Metal pens, including Parker, Cross and Pierre Cardin, can be laser engraved. Engraving is permanent and gives a premium, tone-on-tone finish.
How long do branded pens take?
Standard production is typically 7–10 working days from artwork approval. If you need them sooner, choose from our express delivery pens.
Will I see a proof before you print?
Yes. Every order includes a free artwork visual showing your logo on the pen. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
What is the minimum order?
Minimums vary by pen and are shown on each product page. If you need fewer than the minimum shown, call us on 01509 501 170.
