BIC Round Stic Ballpoint Pen
Your Logo on the Pen That Actually Gets Used
Some promotional items sit in a bag until they're forgotten, but a familiar, trusted pen finds its way into a pocket, a desk drawer, or a car console and stays there.
Finding the right bulk pen order shouldn't feel like a coin flip, yet it often does — cheap options write poorly on arrival, and the ones that look good on paper come with high minimums that don't fit a realistic budget.
A few bad orders teach you fast that brand recognition matters as much as price per unit, and that a pen nobody wants to keep is a marketing dollar that simply walks out the door.
The BIC Round Stic is the answer to that problem, and ordering your BIC Round Stic custom imprinted pens in bulk from us is straightforward from day one. This lightweight plastic barrel stick pen features a ventilated safety-cap ballpoint mechanism and a tungsten carbide ballpoint tip that delivers a consistently smooth line without skipping or blotting. Whether you're preparing trade show giveaways for desk distribution or building out new hire welcome kit pens, a screen print barrel imprint puts your logo on a writing instrument that people reach for on purpose. With 500-unit minimum bulk ordering, you get a serious quantity at a manageable commitment, not a warehouse full of leftovers.

Anatomy of a Custom Pen
Choosing the right pen construction ensures your promotional giveaway looks professional, functions flawlessly, and stays in your customers' hands.
- The Essentials: A pen is built from core structural components—like the barrel (your main design real estate) and the ink style (ballpoint, gel, or rollerball), which dictates how smoothly it writes.
- The Accents: Secondary details like ergonomic grips, structural trim, and secure clips add both comfort for the writer and vibrant color-matching opportunities for your brand.

Artwork Resolution & File Formats
Because custom pens offer a compact printing canvas, standard web images (like JPG or PNG) can become blurry or jagged when scaled down.
- Required Formats: Please submit your corporate logo or text in a vector format, specifically .EPS or .SVG.
- Why it matters: Vector files use mathematical coordinates rather than pixels. This allows our printing equipment to scale your graphics down infinitely without losing a single pixel of crispness, ensuring fine lines.
That being said, feel free to send over whatever you have ready and our team will take it from there!
Exact Color Matching (PMS Colors)
When trying to align the Trim Color or accent pieces of a pen with your strict corporate identity, guessing the shade isn't an option.
- The System: We utilize the Pantone Matching System (PMS) to guarantee precision.
- How to use it: When submitting your design requirements, specify your brand's unique PMS color codes if you know them. This ensures the ink imprint on the barrel or the selected plastic trim matches your official company colors perfectly.
Don't fret if you don't have that information. We will do our best to match the colors!
Font Legibility & Minimum Sizes
The Clip Imprint (Clip Imp) area is an incredibly high-visibility spot for phone numbers or taglines, but it offers highly limited real estate.
- Font Choice: We recommend using clean, sans-serif fonts (like Helvetica, Arial, or Futura) for high-contrast legibility. Avoid intricate script or cursive fonts in this area.
- Minimum Size: Any text placed on the clip must be a minimum of 6 pt font to prevent the ink from filling in the loops of letters like e, o, or a. If you're squeezing a long URL onto the clip, consider using the main barrel instead to keep it readable at a glance.
- If you have any questions, feel free to contact us first.
