How to choose branded pens people will actually use

A branded pen is one of the most cost-effective promotional products you can order. The right choice gives daily visibility for months.

Pens fall into two main categories: volume pens for trade shows and campaigns, and quality pens for gifts and corporate use. Your choice should be guided by who receives the pen and in what context.

For trade shows, a simple ballpoint pen with good design is enough. If the pen will sit on a desk for a long time, choose something heavier with a satisfying writing feel. Weight, grip, and mechanism affect how much it actually gets used.

What to consider before ordering

  • Purpose: campaign pens for broad distribution need low cost, gift pens can justify higher quality.
  • Mechanism: twist, push, or click mechanisms give different impressions and user experience.
  • Print area: check that your logo fits the pen's branding area without losing details.
  • Colour and finish: matte, gloss, rubber, and metal finishes signal different quality levels.

Common questions about branded pens

Simple campaign pens start from a few NOK each in larger quantities. Quality metal pens with engraving typically cost 30-100 NOK depending on model and decoration.

Engraving lasts longest because it is permanent. Print offers more colour options and works well on plastic. Choose engraving for premium and print for campaigns.

Plastic ballpoint pens with 1-2 colour print are by far the most popular for trade shows. They are easy to distribute, affordable in volume, and give good logo visibility.
