Writing Instruments

Purchase and give fine writing instruments for your business needs

Fine writing instruments make every writer feel special. You can use fine writing pens for corporate gifts and promotional items as well as for use by your employees. When we think of fine writing instruments, we think of important, highly paid executives, but employees and customers appreciate receiving a nice pen as a gift.

There are many types of pens: roller balls, fountain, ballpoints and gel pens. There’s a price range for every budget, and specialty pens are a necessary tool for drafters, architects, engineers and artists. Give engraved writing instruments as gifts to retiring employees or as acknowledgments of employment anniversaries of employees in your firm. Imprint pens with the corporate logo and use them as promotional giveaways.

Types of pens:

1. The fountain pen is a favorite with calligraphers, but it requires extra patience and a practiced hand.
2. The ballpoint pen is good for everyday writing, requiring no maintenance and having a good supply of ink.
3. The fiber or felt tip gives a smooth feel against the paper and has fast-drying ink.
4. The roller ball pen gives the smooth feel of liquid ink without the trouble of a fountain pen, but the ink cartridges run out quicker.
5. Gel ink pens provide a variety of rich colors, but the pens dry out quickly due to the type of ink used.

Purchase writing devices for everyday use or for corporate gifts

The sheer number of different styles and manufacturers of pens can be overwhelming, but a pen is a smart gift and a necessary tool for business people. Keep extra pens in your desk so you have one on hand to lend to a visitor.

Choose fine writing tools as a perfect gift

Pens are available at all kinds of stores, but it takes extra effort to purchase fine writing tools. Typically, high-end writing pens aren't available at your local office supply store.

Give customized writing instruments as personal or corporate gifts

There's something special about the barrel of a fine writing instrument engraved with its owner's name or initials. Engrave a pen with your company name and give it as a corporate gift.

• When giving writing devices to a left-handed person, choose a pen that has fast drying ink. Slow drying ink smears as the hand holding their pen moves over words just written.
• Personalize a typewritten letter with a short hand-written note and signature at the bottom.
