Papermate InkJoy Screen Printed Ballpoint Pen
Put Your Logo on the Pen That Already Has a Reputation
Most people have a favorite pen — and for a lot of them, it's already a Papermate InkJoy.
Cheap promotional pens scratch, skip, and smear, which means recipients toss them without a second thought and your brand goes with them. You're spending real money on trade show giveaway supplies that end up in a wastebasket by the end of the day. That's not a giveaway; that's a write-off.
When you order Papermate InkJoy custom imprinted pens in bulk, you're attaching your logo to a pen people will actively choose to keep. The InkJoy hybrid ink system delivers a noticeably smooth line every time, and the smear-resistant smooth writing means signed documents and fresh notes stay clean and legible. A screen printed logo finish applied to the barrel looks sharp from the first day and holds up through regular use. Whether you're building out new hire onboarding kits or stocking a booth with bulk packed promotional pens, these 1.0mm medium point pens do the job without letting your brand down.

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.
