Design and Craft
The Parker IM Ballpoint Pen pairs timeless Parker craftsmanship with a modern tapered silhouette. Its metal body offers a comfortable shape for everyday writing, while the medium ballpoint tip delivers smooth black ink. Available in a range of finishes and trims, the IM is a versatile choice for professional settings.
Presentation
Each pen arrives in a sleek two-piece gift box, measuring 7"L x 1.25"H x 2"W, making it presentation-ready for gifting. The box itself is not decorated, keeping the focus on the pen.
Customization
Your logo can be applied via pad print for fine detail or laser etching for a permanent, recessed mark. Both methods ensure your branding stays sharp on the pen's curved surface.

Decoration & Imprint
2 methods
Your logo is placed on the pen barrel, with pad print for fine lines and small text, or laser etching for a permanent, recessed mark. Choose pad print for detailed artwork or laser for a single-tone, durable imprint.
Pad Print1 color/location included · one-time setup $40.00 · Up to 4 colors
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.
Laserone-time setup $40.00
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.

From our decoration and product guides
- 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 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 →
