BIC Clic Gold Ballpoint Pen
The Branded Pen That Earns a Permanent Spot on Their Desk
Most people have a go-to pen they reach for without thinking — and with the right imprint, that pen can be yours.
Cheap promotional pens skip, smear, and end up in the trash within a week, which means your logo goes with them. Finding a pen people actually want to hold onto, one that writes well and looks professional, feels harder than it should be. You need something reliable for trade show giveaways for desk visibility or new hire welcome kits with quality supplies, not a pen that makes your brand look like an afterthought.
The BIC Clic Gold with screen-printed barrel branding is a pen recipients recognize and trust before they even click it. Order BIC Clic Gold custom imprinted pens in bulk starting at just 250 units and get your logo placed on a barrel people keep at arm's reach. The retractable plunger-action click pen operates smoothly with one hand, and the tungsten carbide ballpoint for smooth writing delivers a consistent, skip-free line every single time. That kind of reliability reflects directly on your brand.

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.
