Put Your Logo on the Pen That Actually Gets Used
Some promotional items collect dust on a shelf, but a dependable ballpoint with your brand on it rides along in a shirt pocket, sits on a desk, and gets passed around a meeting room for months.
Most business buyers ordering corporate event promotional pens run into the same wall: high minimums that kill the budget, artwork approvals that drag on for days, and a sinking feeling that half the order will end up in a hotel trash can by checkout time.
Ordering your Bic custom imprinted stick pens in bulk through a trusted screen print process removes most of that friction entirely. Each pen features a durable plastic barrel built to hold up through trade show giveaways, new hire onboarding kits, and conference bags without cracking or leaking. The cap-on stick pen mechanism keeps the tip protected and the medium point black ballpoint ink flowing cleanly the moment someone uncaps it. That reliable write-every-time performance is exactly what turns a cheap-looking giveaway into a brand impression that lasts past the event itself.

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.
