Tri-Stic Three-Sided Translucent Ballpoint Pen
Three Sides of Real Estate on a Pen Your Audience Will Actually Keep
Most trade show booth giveaways get forgotten before the drive home, but a pen with three printable sides gives your brand three separate chances to stay in the conversation.
Standard round-barrel pens offer one cramped imprint area, which forces you to choose between your logo, your phone number, and your tagline — and you can never fit all three. That means a recruiting event pen might carry your name but drop your call to action entirely. HR managers ordering bulk promotional gifts for high-stakes hiring events deserve better than that compromise.
The Tri-Stic Three Sided Pen solves this directly. Its flat translucent plastic barrel creates three distinct, screen printed imprint panels, so your logo, contact details, and event message each get their own dedicated space. When you order Tri-Stic custom imprinted pens in bulk, you are putting a durable, USA-made writing tool in candidates' hands that carries your full brand story — not just a fragment of it. The ballpoint medium and fine point ink writes smoothly from day one, which means recipients hold onto it rather than swapping it for something better.

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.
