Printed pens are a commonly used advertising specialty item. The imprint can be as simple as a name, or several lines of text.

Pens are cost efficient whether purchased in large or small qualities. It is the perfect item for a new company since they are a basic form of advertising and not expensive.

A pen, is one of those items that no matter how many someone has they always pick them up, if they are free. Another great thing about promotional pens is that if someone losses your pen, chances are someone else will pock it up, therefore increasing your audience.

Pens are available in many shapes, sizes, and colors. There are straight pens, click point retractable pens, shirt pocket pens, designer pens, and pens made from wood, metal, plastic, recycled materials, and texture covered pen shafts. There are specialty printed pens that are combined with laser pointers, key rings, and clocks. Pens can be made for hanging on necklaces, as well as key chains. Some have refillable ink cartridges.

Because of the low cost they are the first idea brought to the table joining advertising talks. Promotional pens have been used for advertising purposes for over a century in the US.
