BIC WideBody Rotating Message Ballpoint Pen
Six Messages. One Click. A Brand They Won't Forget.
Every click of the BIC WideBody Rotating Message Pen reveals something new, turning a routine writing tool into a direct line between your brand and the person holding it.
Most promotional pens do one thing: sit in a drawer until they run dry. For HR departments assembling new hire onboarding kits or sales teams sourcing trade show giveaway pens, a pen with a single static logo rarely earns a second glance.
The BIC WideBody delivers up to six rotating messages with up to 40 characters per screen, so your company values, contact details, or key talking points cycle through with every click of its plunger-action retractable mechanism. Ordering BIC custom imprinted rotating message pens in bulk means your entire team, event floor, or welcome kit ships with a consistent, on-brand message already loaded into every pen. The durable plastic barrel holds up through daily desk use, and the medium point 1.0mm black ballpoint ink writes smoothly from the first signature to the last. Whether these go into HR department welcome gifts or across a conference table at a trade show, the message stays in their hand long after the conversation ends.

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.
