Bowie Recycled Aluminum Stylus Gel Pen — 0.7mm
Minimum order: 100 × $3.08 = $308.00
A Pen That Holds Up Long After the Swag Bag Gets Tossed
Most branded pens die in a junk drawer within a week. The Bowie is built from recycled aluminum, so it survives the commute, the meeting, and the move to someone's favorite desk cup.
Ordering pens for a trade show or an onboarding kit usually means picking between cheap plastic that skips halfway through the first signature or a nice pen priced too high to hand out by the hundreds. Buyers want something that looks good on a branded table runner but won't bankrupt the swag budget. Nobody wants to explain to their boss why the giveaway pens stopped working before the show even ended.
The Bowie Recycled Aluminum Stylus Gel Pen solves that math problem. Its recycled aluminum barrel gets a soft-touch rubberized coating, a matte gunmetal clip, and an integrated stylus tip that actually works on a touchscreen, not just on paper. A retractable click action keeps things simple for staff signing onboarding paperwork or attendees jotting notes at your booth. When you need bulk custom pens for the field, this is the one that gets kept instead of thrown away.Technical Specifications

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.
