Description
Eco-Friendly Construction
This pen is crafted from a blend of 31% recycled material and 50% biodegradable material, using recycled paper and/or natural-based plastic derived from corn. This composition supports sustainability goals while providing a functional writing instrument.
Dual-Color Functionality
Each end of the pen features a different ink color, offering two writing options in one compact tool. The 5.75-inch length provides a comfortable grip for everyday use.
Custom Branding
Your company name, logo, or message can be applied via pad print, a method that produces a thin, flat ink layer with crisp edges, conforming to the pen's curved surface. This ensures your branding is clear and durable.
Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your imprint is placed on the pen's barrel via pad print, a method that applies a thin, flat ink layer conforming to curved surfaces. This method is best for fine lines and small text, ensuring crisp, detailed branding.
Pad Printing1 color/location included · one-time setup $40.00 · Up to 4 colorsPMS
Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, flexing into curves, angles, and recessed areas flat application can't follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges — each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid, holding evenly on contoured or darker surfaces; cured ink resists everyday wear.
