Paper Mate Write Bros Stick Ballpoint Pen
The Pen That Earns Its Place on Every Desk, Every Day
Some promotional items get glanced at once and forgotten in a drawer — a pen that actually writes well gets picked up again and again, keeping your brand in hand for months.
Too many buyers have learned the hard way that rock-bottom promotional pens skip on the first stroke, bleed through paper, or snap under light pressure, and that cheapness reflects directly on the brand name printed on the barrel.
The search for a dependable bulk pen that balances real quality with a fair price point and a manageable minimum order is genuinely frustrating, especially when you're sourcing for trade show giveaways, new hire onboarding kits, or stocking up on conference room desk supplies.
Paper Mate Write Bros custom imprinted stick pens in bulk solve that problem cleanly, delivering the kind of consistent, skip-free performance that comes from a tungsten carbide ballpoint tip paired with smooth, nonrefillable black medium point ink that lays down a clean 1.0mm line every time; your logo is applied through a screen print one or two color logo imprint onto a generously sized 2" x ¾" barrel area, giving you a crisp, professional result across all 300 units in your order.

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.
