Key Facts
- Ballpoint pen disguised as a paintbrush — the brush form factor carries through the barrel
- 6-inch plastic body — a full-length pen for everyday desk use
- Pad-printed imprint — thin opaque ink sits nearly flush with crisp edges
- Not for children or pets — may present a choking hazard to children under 3
Description
This is a ballpoint pen built to look like a paintbrush, with a plastic barrel that carries the brush silhouette from tip to end. At 6 inches long it sits at full pen length, so it handles like the pen it is rather than a miniature novelty.
Your artwork is pad printed onto the barrel, where a thin, flat layer of opaque spot-color ink conforms to the curved surface and sits nearly flush with crisp edges. That makes the imprint a natural fit for fine lines, small text, and tightly detailed logos.
The pen is not intended for use by children or pets and may present a choking hazard to children under 3 years of age, so it suits adult-facing audiences and desk-side distribution.

Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your imprint is pad printed onto the barrel of the pen, where the flexible pad conforms to the curved surface and lays down a thin, opaque spot-color layer with crisp edges.

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.

- What is pad printing and what does it look like?
- Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, so the pad flexes into curves, angles and recessed areas that a flat application cannot follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges. Each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid that holds evenly on contoured or darker surfaces, and the cured ink resists everyday wear. More about Pad Printed →
- When should I choose pad printing over screen printing?
- When the artwork has fine lines, small text or tight detail that must stay sharp on a contoured or uneven surface, such as a pen barrel or a curved drinkware wall. The conforming pad holds crisp edges where flat methods cannot reach. Pad printing suits fine detail better than flooding large areas, so for broad solid fills, photographs or gradients look at screen printing or a full-color process instead. More about Pad Printed →
- What is PMS color matching?
- Pantone Matching System (PMS) color matching means the printer mixes ink to your exact Pantone number instead of substituting the nearest stock color, so the merchandise in the field matches the logo in your brand guide. It is the difference between branded merchandise that looks like your brand and merch that almost does. More about PMS color matching →
