One of the reasons that pens and writing instruments in general are such great promotional items is the enormous amount of choice you have in the types of pens you buy. From plastic and metal to great quality pen sets, highlighter pens, and of course pencils, there are plenty of different types of pens available to suit your requirements.
Plastic Pens
Plastic promotional pens are the ideal option when your budget is small, or when you need a very large number of pens. These are available from as little as ₤0.09 each, with an enormous variety of options in the ₤0.10 to ₤0.50 price range. Within the category of plastic pens there is still plenty of choice in terms of barrel shape and size, ink color, nib type, and other features.
Metal Pens
Metal pens range in price from around ₤0.50 to several pounds, and offer almost as much variety as metal pens in the different shapes and styles that are available. If you need colorful pens, metal provides plenty of options?color is not limited to plastic pens alone. Some metal pens can be engraved, rather than printed, with a promotional message, providing a very long lasting printed message that will keep your company in the minds of recipients for much longer than a printed plastic pen might.
Novelty Pens
The novelty pen range includes carabiner pens with a clip at one end that can be used to hold the pen securely?the recipients of these items will never lose your pens thanks to this handy attachment. Other novelty pen options include those with a 360 degree rotating message panel, and pens with large novelty clips that are fully customizable.
Highlighter Pens
The bright colors of highlighter pens make them ideal for use in any promotional situation where you want your items to get noticed, and they're definitely very useful items for a wide variety of purposes. These types of pens tend to be produced in more fun and funky shapes, and they're all relatively inexpensive items too. Choose from single color highlighter pens starting at ₤0.33 per item, to three-color triangular pens for ₤0.60 per item, to some truly innovative pen sets which include five different colors in a simple flower shaped item, for ₤0.84 each. A more stylish way of presenting highlighter promotional pens is a three piece set that includes two different colored pens contained within a small pen pot for convenient storage.
Pencils
Pencils may not be as frequently utilized as pens for promotional purposes, but they do have their uses. Promotional pencils tend to be fairly inexpensive, and there are even large sets of coloring pencils available, which are great promotional items for children, and will also suit for school-related fund raising schemes and promotions.
Pen Sets
Pen sets can be an ideal way to thank a valued client for their continued loyalty to your company, or reward a consistently hard working employee?these pen sets are more expensive than your typical metal pen, and are usually best kept for these types of special occasions. Tere are some very attractive and stylish options available, and most are packaged in a presentation case to make the gift truly special.
