Pens – Pens cover the writing instruments placed in guest rooms, at reception and on conference tables, from simple plastic ballpoints to metal and premium branded models. Selection depends on the body material, the refill type and ink colour, the writing mechanism, the intended lifespan in the room and the engraving or printing method used for the hotel name.
When requesting a quotation, state the quantity, the model, the logo colours or engraving text and the placement on the barrel, and attach a vector logo file. Materials, refill types and decoration options are shown in the technical data of each product.
Pens: procurement considerations
- Room versus meeting use: Guest room pens are frequently taken home and are replaced often, so unit cost matters more than in the conference and executive segment.
- Body material: Plastic bodies keep cost per piece low at volume, while metal models feel substantially better in the hand for meeting rooms and gifts.
- Refill availability: On higher-value pens, check that standard refills are obtainable so the item does not become disposable after the first cartridge.
- Decoration method: Pad printing carries colour logos on plastic barrels; laser engraving on metal gives a permanent mark that does not wear off in the pocket.
Frequently asked questions about this category
Can pens be engraved instead of printed?
Laser engraving is available on metal models and gives a durable result. Print is normally used on plastic barrels where colour is needed.
Is a matching pencil version available?
Several ranges have matching pencils, so the same design can be used across the room and the conference set-up.
