Custom branded pens are a go-to promotional item—they’re practical, affordable, and almost everyone can use an extra pen! But not every pen is a winner. Before you commit to your next batch, here are a few fun (and all too real) pitfalls to avoid:
- The Leaky Pen – Great way to make an impression… but probably not the kind you want when it leaves ink stains everywhere.
- The Too-Fat-to-Hold Pen – Fantastic space for your logo, but your clients may need two hands just to write with it.
- The Too-Simple Stick Pen – Minimalism is cool, but if your pen looks like it came from the office supply closet, it may not have the wow factor you’re aiming for.
- The Stylus-Is-in-the-Way Pen – That handy stylus at the end? Sometimes it just makes writing awkward.
- The Recycled-Material Pen That Recycles Too Fast – We love eco-friendly, but not when the pen breaks down quicker than a to-do list.
- The Fancy-Pen-in-a-Fancy-Case Pen – Looks like luxury until you start writing with it... then you realize it’s all packaging and no substance.
Choosing the right custom pen can be a small investment with a big impact—just make sure you're picking one that makes your brand look as sharp as you are!
