Promotional Pens & Writing
The workhorse of promotional merchandise, and still the cheapest reminder you can hand someone.
Plastic, metal, bamboo and recycled. Pens run in higher volumes than anything else here, which is why the branding area matters more than it looks: a barrel gives you a narrow strip and the artwork has to be legible in it.

Ordering merch with uniforms or print?
Quoted together they're set up as one job, which is what keeps the colours consistent across a polo, a flyer and a branded bottle.
