Discover Why Printed Metal Pens Are More Popular Than Promotional Plastic Pens

Author : Francis Murphy


         


Promotional pens are by far the most purchased of all corporate gifts and probably always will be. They have a massive price range with cheap printed plastic pens available for a few cents right up to wonderful laser engraved metal pens for hundreds of dollars and even more. Once upon a time most promotional pens were only available in a small selection of colours. However innovations in plastic materials and injection moulding processes have changed things considerably. It's now possible to get each and every colour imaginable and you can also mix and match from a considerable selection of components. These breakthroughs have bought about an increase in the reputation of the promotional pen and re secured its spot as the very best selling item of promotional merchandise

Cheap Promotional Plastic Pens

These fantastic promotional products are given away in their millions all over the world 24/7. The simple reason for their level of popularity is that everyone uses a pen many times times a week. So if you are fortunate to get one for for free then it saves you money. The fact that the company logo or sales message from the organisation that gave it to you is imprinted on the clip or barrel is probably inconsequential to you. But it will probably create brand awareness even if it's just a cheap plastic pen.

Promotional Metal Pens

Metal pens have always been thought of as the more desirable pen when it comes to promotional gifts. They both look and feel more substantial than cheap plastic pens and when engraved rather than printed they look even better. There was a time when the individual components of these pens were only available in a flat shiny finish but that's no longer the case. You can now source metal pens with lots of different finishes including grooves, indentations and even holes.

Corporate pens

Mont Blanc pens are accepted as being the most expensive and exclusive metal pens across the globe. The white cap which represents the peak of Mont Blanc, which is the highest mountain in the Alps is well known to everyone who knows anything about pens. However there are a number of other brands which whilst not being so exclusive still outsell Mont Blanc pens many times over. Bic promotional pens are a good example of a very well known brand. Parker Pens make one of the very best selling pens ever the Parker Vector Rollerball, most of us have had one at least once. Other brands for example Cross pens and Balmain are also very well known and have lots of potential as promotional products.

Promotional Pens UK

It could seem strange to think of promotional pens UK when almost definitely the vast majority of pens are made in China. But there are a lot of plastic pen manufacturers in the Uk who have enjoyed great success in this marketplace. The main factor in this area is the desire to reduce our Carbon footprint and by producing locally we reduce emissions appreciably. As a result lots of buyers of business gifts are now insisting that the bulk of of the promotional items they procure must come from the local market.

As opposed to promotional clothing such as printed T-shirts or embroidered polo shirts promotional printed pens will stick around in cupboards, desks, pockets and handbags. They work exceptionally well in unison with other corporate merchandise such as leather conference folders or perhaps promotional paper products such as note pads or memo blocks. And it's worth noting that most companies or establishments can afford to give lots of them out as promotional gifts because they are so cheap. So please, next time you have an event to promote a product please consider using a promotional pen. Remember in the arena promotional products they are the number one most chosen item ever.
