BIC Clear Clics Renewable Retractable Ballpoint Pen
The Branded Pen That Earns a Permanent Spot on the Desk
Some promotional items get glanced at once and forgotten, but a well-made pen with a trusted name on it gets picked up dozens of times a day.
Finding a bulk pen order that doesn't feel like a compromise is genuinely difficult. You want something that reflects well on your company, not a barrel that cracks after a week or ink that skips mid-signature. Too many buyers have settled for a cheap alternative, only to watch it end up in the trash before the trade show floor even clears out.
The BIC Clear Clics pen solves that problem directly. Ordering your BIC custom imprinted Clear Clics pens in bulk gives you a retractable ballpoint built on a renewable resource plastic barrel, available in a medium ballpoint 1.0mm or fine ballpoint 0.8mm point to match how your recipients actually write. The plunger-action click mechanism is smooth and satisfying, and you can add the optional BIC Easy Glide System ink for a noticeably fluid writing feel that people notice. Whether you are stocking a trade show giveaway bowl or building out new hire onboarding kit pens, this is the pen that gets kept, not discarded.

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.
