• Suitable for bulk campaigns: A practical option when you need branded merchandise for a large audience.
• Everyday usefulness: Pens can remain in use long after an event or marketing campaign has ended.

Choose a Grip Colour to Complement Your Branding

The white barrel provides a clean printing area, while the coloured rubber grip helps the pen coordinate with your existing brand colours.

Available grip colours include:

• Black
• Dark green
• Indigo blue
• Lime green
• Orange
• Pink
• Purple
• Red
• Royal blue

You might choose a grip colour that closely matches your company logo, use a bright colour to help your promotional pens stand out, or select a colour associated with your campaign, charity, school, club or organisation.

Black, dark green, indigo blue and royal blue can create a traditional corporate appearance. Lime green, orange, pink, purple, red and yellow provide brighter alternatives for promotional campaigns, schools, charities and events.

Personalised Contour Pen Specifications

A Large 60 × 8mm Branding Area

These promotional pens have a rectangular print area measuring 60mm wide by 8mm high. This provides space for a company logo, business name, website address, telephone number or short promotional message.

The long, narrow print area works best with simple, clearly arranged artwork. Very detailed designs or large amounts of small text may be difficult to reproduce clearly.

For the best result, concentrate on the information that matters most. This will usually be your logo or business name, supported by one important contact detail or a short message.

A landscape version of a logo will usually make better use of the available space than a tall or square design. If your usual logo does not suit the shape of the print area, a simplified horizontal version may produce a clearer result.

Artwork Requirements for Your Branded Pens

Please use the downloadable ballpoint pen template when preparing your artwork. You can also read our guide to preparing artwork for print or visit our artwork templates page.

Your design must:

• Fit within the supplied 60 × 8mm print area
• Be supplied as vector artwork
• Use clear and legible text
• Avoid unnecessary fine details
• Not contain raster elements such as JPEG or PNG images

Vector artwork can be resized without losing sharpness or print quality. This helps produce cleaner lettering, smoother lines and a more professional result on the finished pen.

If your logo is only available as a JPEG, PNG or another non-vector format, please contact Print Direct NI before placing your order. We can check your files and advise what may be required.

What Can Be Printed on the Pens?

The 60 × 8mm branding area can be used for a range of business and promotional information, including:

• Company logo
• Business or organisation name
• Website address
• Telephone number
• Email address
• Social media handle
• Event name or date
• Charity or fundraising message
• School, club or society name
• Short slogan or call to action

Trying to include too much information may make the design difficult to read. A clear logo and one important contact detail will often create the strongest finished pen.

Promotional Pens for Businesses, Events and Organisations

Custom printed pens can be used by almost every type of business or organisation. These branded white barrel pens are particularly suitable for:

• Exhibitions and trade shows
• Business conferences
• Networking events
• Product launches
• Customer welcome packs

• Restaurants, cafés and hospitality venues
• Estate agents and property businesses

• Charities and fundraising campaigns

• Staff stationery and office supplies

The pens can be handed out individually, placed at reception desks, included with printed brochures or added to conference and exhibition packs.

Branded Pens for Exhibitions and Conferences

Custom logo pens are especially useful at exhibitions, business conferences and networking events. Visitors often need a pen to complete forms, make notes or exchange contact information.

Providing a branded pen gives visitors something useful while helping your business remain visible after the event has finished.

The lightweight construction makes the pens easy to transport in large quantities and convenient to add to delegate bags, conference folders and promotional packs.

These pens can be combined with branded lanyards, printed business cards, promotional flyers and products from our exhibition display range.

Personalised Pens for Schools, Charities and Clubs

Personalised Contour pens are not limited to commercial business promotions. They can also be printed for schools, colleges, universities, charities, sports clubs, societies and community organisations.

Schools can use branded pens for open days, information packs, staff stationery and pupil events. Charities can distribute them during awareness campaigns or fundraising activities. Sports clubs and membership organisations can include them in welcome packs or hand them out at events.

The choice of grip colours makes it easier to select a pen that reflects the colours associated with a school, team, charity or campaign.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personalised Contour Pens

What is a Contour Extra ballpoint pen?

The Contour Extra is a lightweight promotional ballpoint pen with a white plastic barrel, coloured rubber grip, chrome-style fittings and retractable push-button mechanism.

Its comfortable design and generous branding area make it suitable for company logos, business promotions, exhibitions, schools, charities and everyday office use.

Can I have my company logo printed on these pens?

Yes. Your company logo, business name or promotional design can be added to the white barrel, provided the artwork fits within the available 60 × 8mm print area.

For the clearest result, use a simple version of your logo without very small lettering or excessive detail.

What is the available print area?

The print area is 60mm wide by 8mm high. This is a generous horizontal area for a promotional pen and is suitable for many business logos, company names, website addresses and short marketing messages.

All important parts of your design must remain within the supplied keyline.

What can I include in the printed design?

Depending on the layout, the design can include your company logo, business name, website address, telephone number, email address, social media handle, short campaign message, event name or charity information.

Trying to include too much information may make the finished design difficult to read. A clear logo and one important contact detail will often produce the strongest result.

What artwork format do I need to supply?

Artwork must be supplied as a vector file. Vector artwork is created using lines, curves and shapes rather than pixels. It can be resized without becoming blurred or losing quality, making it suitable for professional printing.

Common vector artwork may be supplied as an editable vector PDF, EPS or AI file. Contact Print Direct NI if you are uncertain whether your file is suitable.

Can I upload a JPEG or PNG logo?

The production artwork cannot contain raster images such as JPEG or PNG elements.

If your logo is only available as a JPEG or PNG, contact Print Direct NI before ordering. We can inspect the file and advise whether a suitable vector version will be required.

Placing a JPEG inside a PDF does not convert it into vector artwork.

What is the difference between vector and raster artwork?

Raster images, including most JPEG and PNG files, are made from pixels. When enlarged or adjusted, they can become blurred or develop jagged edges.

Vector artwork is constructed from editable paths and shapes. It can be scaled while keeping edges, lettering and lines sharp. This makes it more reliable for printing a small logo clearly on the barrel of a pen.

Where can I download the artwork template?

The ballpoint pen artwork template is available in the Downloads/Resources section of this product page.

The template shows the correct 60 × 8mm branding area. Place your artwork within the supplied keyline and do not allow important text or logo elements to extend beyond it.

Can Print Direct NI check my artwork?

If you are uncertain about the quality, format or size of your artwork, contact Print Direct NI before placing the order.

We can check whether the file appears suitable and advise if a vector version, simplified design or revised layout may be needed.

Do these promotional pens have a rubber grip?

Yes. Each pen has a coloured rubber grip that provides a comfortable area to hold during everyday writing.

The grip also adds colour to the pen and can be selected to complement a logo, organisation, school, charity or campaign.

Do the pens have a push-button mechanism?

Yes. These are retractable ballpoint pens with a push-button mechanism. The pen tip can be extended when required and retracted after use, so there is no separate cap to lose.

Are these pens made from plastic?

Yes. The pens have a lightweight plastic barrel with chrome-style fittings and a coloured rubber grip.

The lightweight construction makes them easy to carry, store and distribute at exhibitions, conferences and promotional events.

Which grip colours are available?

The available grip colours are black, dark green, indigo blue, lime green, orange, pink, purple, red, royal blue and yellow.

The white barrel remains consistent across the range, while the grip provides the main colour accent.

How should I choose a grip colour?

Choose a colour that complements your logo, company branding or campaign.

Black, dark green, indigo blue or royal blue can create a professional appearance. Lime green, orange, pink, purple, red or yellow can help the pens feel brighter and more noticeable.

Colours displayed online can vary between devices, so product images should be treated as a visual guide.

Can I order more than one grip colour?

If you would like to divide an order between different grip colours, contact Print Direct NI before ordering.

Whether colours can be mixed may depend on the total quantity, the number required in each colour and current availability.

Are these pens suitable for everyday office use?

Yes. Branded Contour ballpoint pens are suitable for reception areas, meeting rooms, staff desks, customer service counters and everyday office stationery.

Their practical nature also makes them suitable for distributing to customers, visitors and prospective clients.

Are lightweight promotional pens durable enough for everyday use?

As with any promotional pen, its working life will depend on how frequently it is used and how it is stored.

Are Contour Extra pens suitable for bulk promotional giveaways?

They can be combined with brochures, business cards, flyers, notebooks, branded lanyards and other promotional merchandise.

Can schools, clubs and charities order these pens?

Yes. The pens can be customised for schools, colleges, charities, sports clubs, community organisations and voluntary groups.

They can be used for open days, fundraising campaigns, awareness events, membership packs, promotional activities and general office use.

Can the pens be personalised for a particular event?

Yes. The available print area can be used for an event name, campaign message, website address or date, provided the finished design remains clear and legible.

For recurring events, consider using more general branding so any unused pens can continue to be distributed after the event.
