A promotional metal pen is a great gift for graduation, birthdays and other special celebrations. It’s also one of the top picks for wedding tokens. Whether as groomsmen gifts or bridesmaid gifts, promotional metal pens are a simple and sophisticated way of thanking your close friends for their help on your special day.
Even in business, a promotional metal pen holds a special place as a gift of choice. You can never go wrong with a promotional metal pen when giving it as a gift to executives. Need a quick pick-me-upper for your employees? Get the promotional metal pen laser engraved with your company name and logo and give it away to your personnel. That would be a great way to motivate them to do their jobs better. Get extras done so you can have a quick giveaway for clients and business associates.
Whatever your purpose for giving a promotional metal pen, this classy gift is sure to be appreciated for a long time by your recipient. Unlike disposable pens, metal pens can be refilled and re-used over and over again. Plus, it is perceived to be of better value and has a better chance of being kept longer.
Not all pens are created equal. Just when you thought that choosing a pen is that easy, we give you another important fact to consider. Promotional ballpoint pens and rollerball pens basically have the same writing mechanism. The nib, or the writing point of the promotional ballpoint pen is made with a loose rolling ball in a metal socket that picks up the ink and spreads it on paper as you write.
The big difference between a promotional ballpoint pen and a rollerball pen is the ink. A promotional ballpoint pen uses oil-based viscous ink. As such the writing from a promotional ballpoint pen is darker than the finish of a rollerball pen.
This kind of ink also gives the promotional ballpoint pen a longer shelf life than any other pen type. Water-based ink you’ll find in rollerball pens dry out quicker than what you’ll find in a promotional ballpoint pen. Because the ink lasts longer, a promotional ballpoint pen has a better chance of being kept by your target market much longer.
