Ultra Basset Translucent Ballpoint Pen
A Branded Pen That Earns a Spot on the Desk — Not the Floor
First impressions at trade show giveaways and new hire onboarding kits often come down to the smallest details, and a well-made pen says more about your company than most people expect.
Too many bulk pen orders arrive looking exactly like every other company's giveaway — thin barrels, skipping ink, and a clip that bends on the first use. You spend the budget, hand them out, and watch them disappear into a bin by the end of the day.
The Ultra Basset Screen Printed Pen is built differently, and the difference shows the moment someone picks one up. Ordering custom imprinted ballpoint pens in bulk no longer means settling for something forgettable — the translucent colored barrel and polished chrome clip and trim give this pen a look that people actually notice and hold onto. A consistent medium point delivers smooth medium point black ink without skipping, and a precision screen printed logo imprint keeps your brand sharp and legible through daily use. Four sentences in, and the case is already made: this is the pen that represents your brand the way it deserves to be represented.

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.
