Description
The Metallic Blair is a retractable ballpoint pen built on a plastic barrel with a matte metallic finish and bright chrome trim. A matching rubber grip wraps the writing section, giving the hand a textured, non-slip hold through longer writing sessions.
The plunger mechanism retracts the medium ballpoint tip into the barrel, so the pen carries cleanly in a pocket or bag between uses. Screen printing lays opaque spot-color artwork directly on the barrel surface, holding clean edges on solid shapes and standard lettering.

Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your artwork is screen printed onto the barrel of the pen, where opaque spot-color ink sits on top of the matte metallic surface.
Screen PrintPMSFull-color imprint · 1 location included · no setup charge
Screen printing presses ink through a fine mesh stencil, laying down each color as a separate pass. Each color lays down as its own premixed spot ink, printing solid and consistent across the run. The applied mark is flat and opaque, sitting on top of the material with crisp edges; on heavy coverage, you can feel a slight raised texture where ink builds up. The cured ink is durable and holds up to repeated handling and washing.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does a screen-printed logo look like on a promotional product?
- Screen printing presses ink through a fine mesh stencil, one pass per color. Each color lays down as its own premixed spot ink, so the mark is flat, opaque and consistent across the run, with crisp edges that sit on top of the material. On heavy coverage you can feel a slight raised texture where the ink builds up, and the cured ink holds up to repeated handling and washing. More about Screen Print →
- Which artwork works best for screen printing?
- Bold spot-color shapes, blocks of solid color and simple lettering, where you want strong, opaque coverage that reads clearly. Screen printing holds clean edges on solid shapes and standard lettering, but very fine hairlines, smooth gradients and photographic blends lose definition because each color prints as a flat solid layer. For gradient or photographic artwork choose a full-color process method instead. More about Screen Print →
- Can a screen print match my exact Pantone color?
- Yes. Because every color is a separate, premixed spot ink, screen printing can be mixed to a specific Pantone (PMS) number. Where a product offers it, Pantone matching is an option for an additional charge per color; without it the printer uses the closest standard stock ink color. More about Screen Print →
