Without the Late Deliveries, Wrong Prints, or Hidden Costs.
In-house design to print, a combined 30+ years in promotional merchandise, and a digital proof before anything is made.
The custom pencils you hand out depend on how far they need to go and how much of your logo has to fit, because a slim barrel only takes a small wordmark. A booth giveaway by the hundred and a keeper that lives on a client's desk are two different jobs, and the cheapest item is not always the right one. This page sorts branded writing products by the job they do, so you can pick the right one for your event, your kit, or your giveaway. Tell us what it's for, or start with the range below.

Start with who gets it and how they'll use it, not just what it costs.
A branded writing tool gets kept and reused, so your logo is seen again and again instead of once, and it's a practical, low-cost hand-out that works across plenty of settings. That's why writing products stay one of the most-used promotional items going.
The same range covers very different hand-out jobs, from a conference booth giveaway to a new-hire welcome kit to a clinic's new-patient pack. Branded pencils fit the high-volume end of that range.
Marker ink holds up 50+ pages before it starts to fade, and that durability splits the pick fast: fine tip for signatures and detail work, chisel tip for headline highlighting on stacks of paper. Wood-cased pencils fork a different way, on hand-out volume and price per unit.
| Writing product | Best for | Logo it carries | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wood-cased pencil | Max hand-out volume | Small wordmark | Widest reach, lowest cost |
| Mechanical pencil | Repeat use, considered gift | Full barrel wrap | Lasts longer, bigger logo |
| Fine-tip marker | Detail work, signage | Small mark | Precise line, low fade |
| Chisel-tip marker | Headline highlighting | Wrap print | Bold stroke, high visibility |
For the widest, cheapest hand-out, custom pencils cost the least per unit and reach the most hands, though the slim barrel limits you to a small wordmark. Step up to a mechanical pencil when the item is a client gift or folder insert, since the wider barrel takes a full wrap and holds up to repeat use.
A simple design works best on pencils with logo, wood or mechanical. A detailed or multi-color mark needs more surface, so move it onto notebooks and journals or a portfolio instead, or browse the full pencils and markers range to compare tip and barrel size side by side.
Marker ink rated to resist fade past 50 pages of writing, fine tip for detail work, chisel for bold labeling. You approve a digital proof before anything prints, minimums run as low as 1 unit and vary by product, our account team fixes it free if we get it wrong.
Still deciding? Default safe pick: wood pencils in bulk tiers for one-time handouts and classroom-style giveaways. Fork one: repeat-use offices go mechanical pencils for refill economy over time. Fork two: signage or bold branding work goes chisel-tip markers from that same Pencils and Markers range. Need a pen instead for signatures or forms?

Custom pencils work as giveaways, event and conference handouts, delegate and new-hire kits, and desk supplies. They keep a brand visible cheaply, because people keep them and reuse them.
Choose wood pencils for the widest, cheapest hand-out, highlighters for a reused desk item that carries a bigger logo, and branded markers for a working tool at a whiteboard or a site desk.
A mechanical pencil or a pen works best as a client gift, because it feels considered and lasts, where a giveaway wood pencil doesn't. You approve a proof of the branding before it's made.
A slim pencil barrel holds a short wordmark, so a detailed or multi-color logo fits better on a wider item like a highlighter, a mechanical pencil, or a larger-surface product. Our team checks and fixes your artwork before the proof, so it sits right.
Minimums are as low as one unit on some items, with the figure listed on each product page. Send us the quantity you need and we'll confirm it.
