Question 1

How does the ordering process work?

Accepted Answer

It couldn't be simpler - all you need to do is...

Choose your pen. Select the style, colour, and branding options (like where you’d like your logo to appear)
Pick your quantity. Decide how many pens you need for your campaign or event.
Request a quote or place your order. Get pricing details or proceed straight to checkout.
Finalise the details. Send us your artwork, confirm your delivery date, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Enjoy your new pens! Your branded pens will arrive ready to impress your customers.

Question 2

What’s the best type of pen for my business?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your audience. Plastic pens are cost-effective for large-scale giveaways, while metal and engraved pens make great corporate gifts. Eco-friendly options (such as our Contour Bamboo Ballpens) are also increasingly popular.

Question 3

How long does it take to receive my order?

Accepted Answer

Production times vary, but we offer express delivery on selected pens. Use the "Deliver By" filter to find fast-turnaround options, or contact us for urgent requests.

Question 4

Can I see a sample before ordering?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We can send unbranded samples for free (some higher-value items may have a small charge). Printed samples are also available for an additional fee.

Question 5

Can I mix and match pen colours in my order?

Accepted Answer

Many of our pens allow mix-and-match colour combinations for different parts (e.g., barrel and clip). Check the product description or ask us for details.

Question 6

What’s the most budget-friendly promotional pen you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our Contour Ballpens is among our most affordable option. You can sort by “Low to High Price” to find the best deal.

Question 7

I’ve had a cheaper promotional pen quote elsewhere. Can you price match it or beat it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you’ve found a cheaper quote elsewhere, let us know and we’ll do our best to match or even beat it. Thanks to our strong buying power, we’re able to offer some of the most competitive prices in the market.

Question 8

Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for promotional pens?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each pen has a minimum order quantity. You can find this information on the product listing page by checking the first price break under "Step 2" when selecting your quantity. If you're looking for a lower MOQ option, feel free to reach out - we may have flexible solutions available.

Question 9

How many pens should I order?

Accepted Answer

The number of promotional pens you need depends on your event size, budget, and goals. For small events (50-100 attendees), 100 pens should be enough, while medium events (100-500 attendees) may need 250-500.

Large events (500+) benefit from 1,000 or more, while trade shows or campaigns often require 1,000-5,000+ for maximum impact. Ordering slightly extra ensures you won’t run out.

Question 10

View the results using the "Eco-Friendly" filter (on the left-hand menu) or look for the green leaf icon on product listings, or explore our branded eco pens category.
