Key Facts

- Laser engraving — the mark is etched into the metal itself, with no added color
Description
The Winston is a retractable metal ballpoint pen with a medium tip and black ink. The metal barrel gives it a solid feel in the hand, and the retractable mechanism keeps the tip covered when the pen is not in use.
Laser engraving etches your artwork into the metal surface, producing a permanent, recessed mark in the material's own tone. Because the mark carries no ink, it holds fine lines and small text crisply.

Decoration & Imprint
2 methods
Your artwork is laser engraved into the metal barrel of the pen, etched below the surface for a permanent, recessed mark in the material's own tone. Laser — 360 Wrap engraves the artwork around the full circumference of the pen rather than one panel, so the design reads from every angle.
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.

- Where are your products made?
- The Origin row in each product's Specifications states where the item is manufactured: it reads Made in a named country for US, Canadian, UK, Swiss and European origins, and Imported, decorated in USA when the blank comes from elsewhere and is decorated domestically. Products manufactured in the United States are also collected in the USA Made category. More about USA-made products →
