Modern Metal Pens for your Advertising Campaign

If you’re a company who purchase the same plastic promotional pens year on year to advertise your company, why not go for something different and modern to change your image.

My top three executive pens that I have chosen are all made from Aluminium and are new additions to our range for 2010. They are all able to be either engraved or printed to your requirements.

In third place I would suggest Stratus Ball Pens. These are stylish anodised aluminium pens available with an attractive blue or satin silver finish. It’s a modern promotional pen, with two print positions available across the barrel, offering an extremely generous print area.

In close second I would place Torpedo Ball Pens. This is a retractable ballpen with chrome trim and smooth black rubber grip, ergonomically designed to ensure a comfortable writing experience.

My number one suggestion are Electra Ball Pens. It’s an attractive aluminium pen with anodised finish and chrome trim. The unique positioning of the rings also means that that we offer a much larger print area than standard. The Electra is also available in four stunning colour options, my favourite being the Electric Blue. It’s a reasonably priced executive metal pen which looks extremely elegant and modern.

Unlike brand name printed pens, these three do not come with a gift box as standard, though clear presentation tubes and gift boxes are available, just ask a member of our team for more details. I recommend looking into this option because gift boxes will give these low cost printed pens an additional touch of luxury to belie their cost even further.

If you are still unsure of which executive metal personalised pens to go for, why not contact one of our customer service team who will be more than happy to talk you through available options.
