When it comes to working in the modern office, we all use a wide range of writing implements, from pens and pencils to markers on whiteboards in meeting rooms. While more and more people take notes straight to their laptops or tablets, writing things down continues to be efficient and quick. Beyond work, as well, having the right tools to take down important messages or commit creative thoughts or ideas to paper is an added bonus in our busy lives.
So what better tool to invest in, personalising with logos, branding and colours, then the humble pens and pencils we all use every day? Here are some ideas of how to do just that.
Go for the colour
Company colours are very easy to use and apply to any selection of pens and pencils. Just pick a range of slick, leather or aluminium coated ballpoint pens and add the colour your brand is best known by. You can hand these out in the office to your teams, or use as freebies at marketing events and expos.
Be eco-friendly
Live the eco-friendly trend by choosing bamboo or cork pens instead of plastic. They look stylish and are very durable. You just need to make sure your teams don’t just throw them out when the ink is gone, just refill them!
Cork pens are great for adding your company name or logo on, especially if you have a monochrome logo. It will be easy to see and quite distinctive.
Lovely gifts
If you’re looking for a more special presentation for your pens and pencils, go for a set in a stylish cardboard box engraved with your company name and logo. This is less wasteful than the commercial plastic gift boxes many writing tools come in, and allows you to personalise both the box and the pen and pencil within it.
A complete set
Another gift idea is a set of pens, with small changes that personalises each one. For example, the Benjamin set of bamboo ball point pens in our catalogue features different coloured elements for a change of look. Engrave your company name on the side and you’ll have a beautiful set of colourful pens.
Absolute luxury
Finally, for a refined gift or special prize, go for a pen set in a gorgeous cushioned gift box. It’s the equivalent of luxury for the desk and you can even go so far as to opt for 18-carat gold plated pens with timeless style. These are just for those special recipients and you’ll be sure they’ll never forget your name – especially as you can engrave it on the side, subtly but efficiently.
