Tri-Stic Three-Sided Ballpoint Pen
Three Sides of Messaging on One Pen That Actually Gets Used
Most promotional pens give you a single narrow strip of real estate and call it a marketing tool. The Tri-Stic changes that math entirely.
You order a bulk run of pens for your next trade show, and they come back with just enough room for your company name and maybe a phone number. Your website, your tagline, and that limited-time offer you wanted to push are all sitting on a cut sheet nobody will read. One side is never enough.
Tri-Stic custom imprinted pens in bulk solve this the moment you pick one up. Each pen is built around a triangular barrel that gives you three distinct flat surfaces for three-sided screen print messaging, so your logo, your contact details, and your call to action all ride together in one hand. Ordering these bulk packed corporate promotional pens for trade show giveaways or new hire welcome kits means every recipient walks away holding a complete pitch, not a fragment of one. Built from a durable plastic ballpoint pen body with medium or fine point ink options, the Tri-Stic writes well enough that people actually keep it on their desk, keeping your full message visible day after day.

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.
