Key Facts
- Metal body with chrome trim — polished accents frame the barrel
- Patterned grip section — textured surface for control while writing
- Laser engraving — etched into the surface for a permanent, recessed mark
- Laser — 360 Wrap — engraves artwork around the full circumference
Description
The Nova is a retractable ballpoint pen built on a metal body, finished with polished chrome trim and a patterned grip section. The plunger action retracts the tip between uses, and the textured grip gives your hand a defined place to hold the barrel.
Customization is handled by laser engraving, which etches your artwork into the surface itself for a permanent, recessed mark in the material's own tone. Because the mark carries no ink, it holds fine lines and small text crisply. For artwork meant to be visible from every angle, Laser — 360 Wrap engraves around the full circumference of the pen rather than a single panel.

Decoration & Imprint
2 methods
Your artwork is laser engraved directly onto the metal barrel of the pen. Laser engraving etches a permanent, recessed mark in the material's own tone, while Laser — 360 Wrap engraves around the full circumference for artwork meant to be visible from every angle. Choose standard laser for single-tone logos and fine line work, or the 360 wrap when the design should read from all sides.
Laser1 location included · no setup charge
Laser engraving uses a focused beam to etch your design directly into the surface, leaving a permanent, recessed mark with clean, sharp edges that hold fine lines and small text. The result carries no separate ink: it reads in the substrate's own tone — a lighter shade on metal, a darker burn on wood — with a depth you can feel and a mark that resists fading, wear, and scratching.
Laser — 360 Wrapno setup charge
A 360 wrap engraving rotates the product under the laser so artwork, patterns, or repeating designs run continuously around the body. Like all laser engraving, the mark is colorless — the finish beneath is revealed in a precise, permanent etch that will not wear or wash away. It suits designs made to be seen from every angle.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does laser engraving look like on a promotional product?
- Laser engraving uses a focused beam to etch the design directly into the surface, leaving a permanent, recessed mark with clean, sharp edges. There is no ink: the mark reads in the material's own tone, a lighter shade on metal and a darker burn on wood, with a depth you can feel. It resists fading, wear and scratching because nothing sits on top of the surface. More about Laser →
- Can laser engraving be done in my brand color?
- No. Engraving carries no added color and shows only the substrate's own tone, so a design that depends on brand colors, color contrast, gradients or photographic detail is a poor fit. It is the right choice for single-tone logos, fine line work and small text where a permanent, dimensional mark matters more than color. For printed spot color choose pad print or screen print. More about Laser →
- How does rush production work at Promotion Pros?
- Your deadline is the production clock. When you order rush, the countdown starts the moment you check out with print-ready artwork, not after a digital proof is approved. Most suppliers will not start the clock until a proof is signed off, which quietly adds days to a fast-turn promise; a rush order goes to production immediately, so the turnaround you pick is the turnaround you get.
