Metal Ballpoint Pens

Ballpoint pens, due to their low cost, are the most widely used of promotional pens. There are over 100 different metal ballpoint pens to choose from in this category. We supply both low cost give-away ballpoint pens to the more expensive executive engraved promotional ballpoint pens. There is normally something that matches the needs of any one looking for a good quality printed promotional pen within this category. Metal ballpoint pens combine affordability with convenience in writing both on paper and fabrics without causing unwanted smears on the sheet of paper. This makes them popular when presentation and legibility is an important consideration. Metal promotional ballpoint pens provide a very cost effective form of brand advertising. They represent a relatively low cost advertisement that is highly effective in that often customers will use and therefore see a pen and message daily. A ballpoint pen has an internal ink reservoir and sphere for a point. The internal chamber is filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at its tip during use by the rolling action of a small sphere. The sphere, usually about 0.5mm to 1.2mm in width, can be made of brass, steel, tungsten carbide, or any durable, hard material. There are two basic types of ballpoint pens: disposable and refillable. Disposable pens are mainly made of plastic and discarded when the ink runs out. Refillable pens are generally made of metal and as a result will have a longer life but are a more expensive promotional gift. While plastic pens are less expensive there is the obvious commercial benefit with metal ballpoint pens that your logo or promotional message can be seen repeatedly by a potential or existing customer for a very long time. Basically, if its a nice looking pen that writes well, customers will keep it and could take your message everywhere they go.
