Pens are the quintessential giveaway item, whether you hand them to diners with their restaurant bill or pass them out at trade shows. But if you want to make your pen a stand-out, you’ll need to make it extra special — and one way to do that is with gel ink. After all, the best-quality gel pens are worth holding on to…and are sure to get used again and again.
When clients pick up your custom gel pens to start writing, they’ll immediately appreciate the luxurious feel of the smooth gel ink on paper. And, ideally, they’ll take your pen with them as an enduring reminder of your brand.
The gel ink in gel pens is smoother, more vivid and more water-resistant than standard ballpoint ink. Gel pens also come in a rainbow of ink colours, so they’re great for art and colouring, or just staying colour-coded and organised.
If you’re wondering about the different types of pens, here’s a quick overview. Unlike gel ink pens, which use a gel-based ink, rollerball pens feature a water-based ink and ballpoint pens have oil-based ink. Because of their different inks, these types of pens have a different feel when you write. A ballpoint pen is precise, but much less fluid than a gel pen — and a rollerball falls somewhere in the middle.
Beyond their smooth ink, gel pens have other stand-out features, too. Here are some other pen features and different types of gel pens to look for when you’re browsing the best gel ink pens for your brand.
And at Pens.com, you’ll find some of the best brands of gel pens — including our own collection of pens featuring Gelebration ink, a unique gel ink blend that’s designed to give the writer a bold line every time.
