Custom Promotional
Pens
Custom promotional fountain
pens
are one of the largest segments of the Writing
Instrument gift promotional market. You can probably do no
better if you want personalized unique pens than look at the
many corporate merchandise or business gift and promotional
product catalogues.
These catalogues
include custom promotional
pens amongst an
outstanding section of Writing Instruments often running to
23-30 pages and beyond.
Many people still prefer to look
at magazine quality pictures to choose their custom promotional
pens and the
illustrations in the Writing Instruments section give an
excellent selection of custom personalised promotional pens at
all price levels.
However, on this
page we are mainly concerned with quality custom
promotional pens. On another page we look at cheap
promotional pens but, for the moment, let's take a closer
look at the Writing Instrument section of the catalogue
covering quality custom promotional
pens.
Custom promotional fountain pens
Feast your eyes on the
aristocrats of custom promotional pens and marvel at the
quality inherent in Mont Blanc fountain pens, Cross fountain pens,
Sheaffer fountain pens, Lamy fountain pens, Parker Promotional
Fountain Pens and Ferdinand Porsche Design fountain pens.
Manufacturers of quality fountain pens have earned their
worldwide reputation over many years. In fact it’s worthwhile
looking back at the history of some of these unique
pens.
Mont Blanc fountain
pens
For example, Mont
Blanc has been in business since around 1906 and
consistently linked with quality customized pens.
However, an intriguing aspect of the brand name Mont
Blanc is it’s numerous convoluted spellings often
appearing in email correspondence as Montblanc,
montblanch or even monte blanc!
Nevertheless, whatever it's called, a Mont Blanc
fountain pen is a treasured possession and a fine example
of a custom promotional
pen.
Cross fountain pens
Cross fountain pens have an illustrious
pedigree being the first manufacturer in the United
States of quality Writing Instruments going back as far
as the 1850’s. Today there is a huge choice of Cross
fountain pens with a selection of nibs to suit all
writing styles. For instance there is
the Townsend 18 Karat Gold Filled/Rolled Gold Fountain
Pen, the Townsend Platinum Plated Fountain Pen
and the Apogee® Executive Collection 23Kt Heavy Gold
Plate Fountain Pen; surely enough there to satisfy the
most demanding executive in the market for custom promotional
pens.
Sheaffer fountain
pens
Sheaffer fountain pens, although not as old as
Cross fountain pens, can still boast a history of over
100 years. In fact, William Sheaffer invented the
original fountain pen lever-fill action and patented the
device in 1912. Famous Sheaffer fountain pen models
include the Sheaffer Legacy Heritage fountain pen,
Sheaffer Valor fountain pen and Sheaffer Agio fountain
pen. Again there is an excellent array of nibs including
extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, oblique and stub though
some of these are special order but well worth it for
custom promotional pens of this
quality.
Lamy fountain
pens
Lamy fountain pens have been produced in
Germany since about 1952 although the company was founded
in 1930. Current Lamy fountain pen favorites include the
Lamy 2000 fountain pen, the Lamy Accent fountain pen and
the Lamy Studio fountain pen. Perhaps not as well known
but certainly an eye-catcher in the custom promotional pens market
segment.
Parker promotional
fountain pens
Parker
promotional fountain pens
have long been the mainstay of the promotional pen market for there is
scarcely a promo gift catalogue without a fine selection of
Parker personalized fountain pens. An outstanding product
from the Parker
fountain pen range is the Parker Duofold fountain pens in all
its guises. Check out the Parker Duofold Cloisonne fountain
pen, the Parker Duofold Centennial fountain pen or perhaps move
to a different range and appraise the Parker Sonnet fountain
pen. It’s all a far cry from 1891 when the original Parker Pen
Company was founded by George Safford Parker in Janesville,
Wisconsin. But they are still here and you can cover all your
budgetry bases with Parper custom promotional
pens.
Ferdinand Porsche
Design fountain pen
And finally for
something completely different there are the Ferdinand
Porsche Design fountain pens. Many connoisseurs are
enraptured by this range which has exceedingly clean and
attractive profiles. There’s the Ferdinand Porsche Design
TecFlex fountain pen or the P3150 Ferdinand Porsche
Design fountain pen complete with a stainless steel
barrel and a solid 18 carat gold rhodinised nib a true
aritocratic custom promotional pen.
Quality is remembered long after price is
forgotten is a lesson learned by the largest
companies in the universe so, if you are seeking personalized
pens you’ll probably be wise to evaluate Mont Blanc fountain
pens, Cross fountain pens, Sheaffer fountain pens, Lamy
fountain pens, Parker promotional fountain pens and, and of
course, Ferdinand Porsche Design fountain pens…they are all
fine custom
promotional pens.
