The factors when choosing your next Metal Promotional Pen

1./ Chameleon effect with metal pens, this term is applied to Promotional Metal Pens that may look the same but are really just a poor-quality version of a great design. Even though pens may look the same in every way, they are quite often not. We recommend making sure it can house a Parker or Parker compatible refill and has a minimum writing distance of 1200 Metres.

2./ Creation of metal pens: There are certain items that not all countries are cost effective in Producing a Pen is a prime example. To set up a mould for small parts to be extruded for pens have huge costs associated $10000’s of dollars for a new design. That is why we normally import our Promotional Metal Pens from either Germany, Europe, or China. The final blank product is held in Australia and depending on the item chosen we offer decoration in our Melbourne, Brisbane, or Sydney Factories. This ensures profits flow back into our Australian Economy. Promote by promotion, simple yet effective marketing.

3./ Consistency: With Metal Promotional pens it is hard sometimes to tell the difference between a quality item and an item that has been produced using lower grade materials. As a general rule, hold the Pen and gauge the weight. A heavy item is noticeable against a cheaper Low-grade pen. The other element of consistency is in the branding. We offer Pad Printing for clean sharp detail, Laser engraving which creates a contrast between the negative area and the virgin area making the logo standout is the best option if the contrast colour suits your requirements. The underneath or exposed area will turn back to the inner of the metal so a laser engraved pen may finish with a gold look, grey or silver look but check with us to confirm the contrast finish on our Promotional Metal Pens.

4./ Construction: As with all items the construction or how metal pens are made is a very important factor. Check the ink or writing distance all pens have different levels of ink within the cartridge. It’s a good idea to double check the writing distance of a pen. As a guideline use the metres of writing distance. This will vary from brand to brand and from budget to high-end. Usually, they fall into 4 main writing distances being 400 Metres for economical or budget Metal Pens, 1200 metres. For Midrange or premium of 1800 – 2200 metres for more premium finished off with the Mack daddy range which is 3500 - 9000 Metres. The ink can also play a part and the best Inks come from Germany.

5./ Colours: Before you choose a metal promotional or plastic pen for that matter, it is always good to see the full colour range available and what colour the artwork will turn into once laser engraved. With the colours, check if there is a direct PMS colour on the pens finish, that will allow you to order with ease of knowing the exact colour your will be receiving. Be aware though that from batch to batch and year to year there can be slight colour differences, if in doubt always ask for a free sample of any of our Metal Promotional Pens. When timing, quality and budget allow for a little extra, you can colour, match, or create a pen to match your corporate brand guidelines. Normal minimums for this are between 1000 - 5000 units of a style of pen in a corporate colour.
