Pricing and Costs of Pens

Select company pens that fit your budget and suit your business needs

Not all custom pens are created equal. You can make a one-time investment in a large quantity of disposable pens and have your pen needs met. You may wish to offer a selection of mid-range pens that allow the owner to continue using the pen if the ink is refilled.

In special circumstances, you may want fine writing instruments that inherently come with additional costs for maintenance and replacement parts.

1. Any budget can accommodate the purchase of disposable logo pens.

2. A mid-size budget allows for either more pen choices, or ink pens with replaceable cartridges.

3. Taste for a fine writing pen, such as a Montblanc, will require more than the initial investment.

 

Wholesale pens can fit even the smallest budget

Take advantage of wholesale disposable personalized pens if you have a small budget. Even if you want to add a logo to the pens, the cost will be much lower compared to other options. Buying in large quantities will save you more in the long run, if you know you won't end up stockpiling vast quantities of leftover pens. You can find prices as low as less than $1 per pen depending on the quantity you want to order.
Try: National Pen has a large selection of logo pens to choose from, at discounted or sale prices. Level Promo Gifts has a large inventory of many wholesale pens available at discounts for various quantities.

Ball pens are the business pens that fit into a mid-size budget

Rollerball pens are quite popular as far as corporate pens go. The ballpoint pen offers various degrees of printing, from ultra fine at .7mm to the thicker 1.22mm. They are also offered in gel or ink styles to further market to personal tastes. Pricing and costs of pens in this category generally range from $15 to $100.
Try: Levenger offers a variety, in price and type, of ballpoint pens. Office 1000 has a large selection of discounted prices on ballpoint pens.

Designer pens may need the benefit of a large budget

Montblanc, Cartier, Aurora, and Fisher, are just some names of top-of-the-line pens which are not only expensive at initial purchase, but also require maintenance, have accessories, and need parts replaced over time. Large budgets may be able to handle the supplies for fine writing instruments. Top brand pens are an investment. Prices easily range from $100-$400, or more.
Try: Bittner is a starting place for choosing from a broad selection of fine writing pen brands. Paradise Pen has a quick refill finder that allows you to search by brand and types. Refill needs can run up to $20, depending on the brand of pen.

 

• Consider personally engraved pens when your message goes beyond the company name and logo. Cross has always been a popular brand of pens given as gifts, and the pens can be engraved wherever the pens are sold.
