Promotional Pen Trends
Last Updated on April 24, 2024 by Rachel Leone
What are hottest logo pen trends?
When you think of a popular marketing giveaway, logo pens probably come to mind immediately. Custom logo pens are affordable, easy to distribute, and one of the best-selling promotional products of all time. What amazes me is how the industry keeps innovating and all the new features these pens are coming with.
If there's one thing these "classic" giveaways aren't it's "techy". So, to keep up with our tech-obsessed world and the changing tastes of consumers, we've seen all sorts of tech-adjacent pens in the last few years. And now that these trends have had some time to mature, we're starting to see some truly beautiful pens with features worth taking a look at today.
Below are a few trends and logo pen recommendations!
Pens That Light Up in New Ways!
In the last few years, we've seen a trend to incorporate LED lighting into promotional Pens. The Geode uses small crystals to create a really cool effect when the LED hits them. The other unique pen lights up your imprint!
What makes this pen special is its illuminated imprint. You'll love how light makes your logo stand out!
Min. Quantity 1,000, ≤ $1.10 ea.
The Geode contains awesome colorful crystals that light up with the push of a button. This pen also comes with a stylus tip for touchscreens.
Min. Quantity 100, ≤ $2.60 ea.
Triangular Barrels for Triple Imprints!
Traditional pens are round, which makes it difficult to screen or imprint on the barrel. In the last few years, we've seen improvements in how large of an imprint can be on these pens with revolutionary techniques. This year I've seen a crop of triangular-shaped barrels on pens which not only help with ergonomics, but allow for up to 3 individual imprints. 3X imprint area and a unique ergonomic shape make these a hot trend!
This pen boasts a unique 3-sided barrel design that allows for up to 3 different imprints (one on each side)! How cool is that?
Min. Quantity 300, ≤ $1.25 ea.
Not only does the Trintana Comfort pen have room for 3 imprints, its soft touch, rubberized coating is sleek, stylish, and feels amazing!
Min. Quantity 100, ≤ $2.40 ea.
Full Color Imprints on Metal Pens!
In the last few years, we've started to see full-color imprinting as a standard option on plastic pens. This year we're seeing full-color imprinting available on soft touch and white metal pens and I think that's pretty great. Along with the new models below I'm even seeing popular older pens like the "Zonita Stylus" which I featured in "My Favorite Premium Promotional Pens" get full-color imprint options too!
This ultramodern executive metal pen has a unique dome shape and comes in 5 vivid colors. Full-color imprinting is available on the white pen!
Min. Quantity 50, ≤ $3.40 ea.
The Schifano is an executive metal pen with an LED flashlight and a stylus for touchscreen devices. Plus the white pen allows for full-color imprinting!
Min. Quantity 100, ≤ $3.60 ea.
Soft-touch Barrels for Writing Comfort!
Soft touch rubberized coating is another trend that's really hot. We started to see this a few years ago and now we're seeing everywhere. Full-color imprinting is even available on these executive metal pens. These look and FEEL great and are perfect premium giveaways!
The Sonata Comfort Stylus is an original comfort grip pen with vibrant colors and a rubberized grip sure to make it a hot seller for years to come!
