Custom Pens FAQ

What is the minimum order for custom pens?

Most plastic pens start at 250–300 units. Executive and boxed pens start as low as 50. We can quote smaller runs on select styles.

How long does custom pen production take?

Standard production is 7–10 business days after proof approval, plus shipping. Rush runs of 3–5 days are available on many styles.

Can I print in full color on a pen?

Yes. Digital full-color barrel wraps handle gradients, photos and multi-color logos. For one- or two-color logos, pad printing is the most economical.

Do custom pens really work as marketing?

Writing instruments are the most widely kept promo item in the US, and industry research puts average impressions above 3,000 per pen over its life — one of the lowest costs per impression in advertising.

Will I see a proof before you print?

Always. You get a free digital proof showing exact logo placement and color before anything goes into production.
