Everything you need to set up and submit your pen artwork.
Printing on Your Pens
Add your logo, business name or message to our printed pens for an easy way to keep your brand in customers' hands. The printable area is compact, so simple, clear artwork will give you the best result.
Creating Your Pen Artwork
Start with our artwork template to position your design within the printable area and check everything is sized correctly before uploading.
Open the pen artwork template and keep it at its original size.
Position your logo, text or design within the printable area shown on the template.
Check small text and fine details are clear and easy to read at the finished print size.
Remove the template guides, then save your finished artwork ready to upload.
Keep It Simple
Pens have a smaller print area than most products, so bold logos and short messages usually work best. Avoid very small text or intricate details that may be difficult to see once printed.
Where Will My Artwork Be Printed?
Your artwork is printed onto the white barrel of the pen. Keep your design within the printable area shown in the template so it appears clearly on the finished product.
