Ultra Cedar Retractable Ballpoint Pen
Put Your Logo on a Pen People Will Actually Keep Using
A pen that sits on someone's desk for months is quiet advertising that costs you almost nothing per impression.
Most businesses ordering promotional pens run into the same wall: minimum quantities that require a warehouse, suppliers who make the artwork approval process unnecessarily complicated, and products that arrive feeling flimsy enough to embarrass the brand on the table.
The Ultra Cedar Retractable Pen was sourced specifically to solve that problem. With a sturdy plastic retractable ballpoint build and a dependable click-action mechanism that does not stick or skip, this pen performs reliably enough that recipients hold onto it rather than tossing it. Ordering custom imprinted retractable pens in bulk starts at just 250 units here, which means you can move quickly for a client meeting, a trade show, or a seasonal push without committing to a pallet. Each barrel is screen printed with your logo in smudge-resistant black ink that stays sharp and legible from the first impression to the last refill.

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.
