The uses of humble wooden printed pencils are many, there isn’t one amongst us who hasn’t, at some point in their lives, grabbed a handy pencil to make that quick note, draft that important project, or even sit idly making doodles on a notepad during a tedious phone call, while enjoying the dubious pleasure of ‘Greensleeves’ for the umpteenth time!
Personalised printed pencils, also boast an indestructive quality that gives your promotional message a long lasting durability. While this obviously has it’s limits, there aren’t many items you can snap in two and just double the usefulness of the item! That’s not to say you should rush out and break all your pencils of course...the point is, (no pun intended!), that people have a strong tendency to keep and re-use their printed pencils, rather than throw them out, a major factor in deciding whether wooden promotional pencils are the right choice for your company.
Placing your company’s branding on wooden personalised pencils, ensures a lifetime of high quality advertising, on a wonderfully handy promotional medium that speaks to people on all levels and ultimately, provides a useful companion for many years.
Pencils - Past, Present & Future
As fast as technology grows, our desire and nostalgia for classic simplicity becomes more and more evident. What once was taken for granted, has now become more highly valued in our ever-changing environment, leading to the re-emergence of classic, wooden printed pencils.
Each of us has our own unique memories that accompany us through life. The stories one generation tell will seem sadly outdated and often mystifying to the next, as we grow easily accustomed to advances in technology and adapting quickly to new and convenient products. So, when you consider that pencils have existed since the 1500’s and are still in use today, that really is a staggering achievement and one that we should celebrate and enjoy.
Printed Pencils
Of course, to say that modern technology has never crossed paths with the humble pencil would simply be untrue, while the unique beauty and simplicity of this popular writing tool has remain untouched, the possibilities for it’s use has greatly expanded.
We can now produce promotional pencils faster and easier than ever before, offering different shapes, sizes and designs as well as providing printed and personalised pencils, with your unique logo on, all while retaining the appeal of a high quality, classic product.
Our wooden printed pencils can be personalised with your company branding or corporate message and designed to suit your exact requirements. Whether you wish to have a simple one colour design, a multi coloured printed message, or a full colour piece of artwork, we have what you need on our website at www.pens.co.uk, just click on the ‘Pencils’ tab at the top of the page to view our full range.
Personalised Pencils
The advantage of choosing personalised pencils for your advertising medium, is that you are taking a product that is already both useful and popular and making it yours with the image or logo that represents your business, you simply can’t go wrong! Printed personalised pencils have a very long lifespan and will still be in use, years after other cheaper quality, more gimmicky items, have died out.
Promotional pencils are appealing to just about every type of business out there but are especially popular in a number of specific markets where they could have a unique appeal. For example, our wooden Carpenter Pencils, are a truly unique and useful item, made from FSC certified wood and providing a large flat printing surface, it has proven itself to be an essential piece of kit for most types of tradesmen.
Our packs of wooden coloured pencils are always a popular choice, with a full sized pack of twelve, or a half sized pack of six to choose from, they can be printed with the name of an individual or organisation, in the safe knowledge that it will provide an eye-catching promotional product.
Have you considered our range of mini pencils? Ideal for carrying around and taking essential notes, they are available with or without erasers. We also stock the Golf Pro mechanical mini pencil if you want something a little more elaborate!
Recycled Pencils
Nowadays, people are a lot more environmentally aware than they used to be, leading to the inevitable debate about using wooden promotional pencils to promote their business. We, at the Pen Warehouse, totally understand your concerns and are happy to be able to offer you a range of eco-friendly, FSC approved recycled pencils, or recycled plastic pencils, in both standard and mechanical styles, at very competitive prices, with a quality that may surprise you. Did you know that we even sell recycled pencils made out of recycled paper? What may sound unusual is actually a very useful, attractive product, take a look our website to see what we mean!
Mechanical Printed Pencils
Although recycled pencils and wooden printed pencils are both popular choices, we can also offer you a large selection of mechanical style personalised pencils. These range from a very low cost unbranded budget option at 18p a unit, to a metal, high quality pencil for more exclusive events and promotions. These can also be paired with a matching ball pen to make a high quality gift set.
The benefits of choosing mechanical printed pencils, are that they never need sharpening! Simply click the pencil and a new lead will appear, creating the easier option if you are on the move or in an environment where you wouldn’t easily be able to use a sharpener, such as an important business meeting or traveling outside the office.
Pens vs Wooden Promotional Pencils
Now this is a hard choice, each has advantages over the other one, so it’s really a case of finding out which would best suit your and your business. Personalised pencils certainly last a long time, are able to write upside down and at all kinds of angles without fear of running out of ink and are ideal for drawing and sketching, as they can provide finely detailed lines and shading that would not be as possible with a pen.
One of the biggest advantages, for all of us that admit to making a few mistakes here and there, is the wonderful addition of an eraser placed neatly on the end of some of our promotional pencils, so we stand a chance of correcting errors before anyone else get to see them! Another feature of wooden or recycled personalised pencils is that they will never leak in your pocket or smudge on your important documents!
If I were to play devil’s advocate here, I’d have to point out that wooden pencils do, obviously need to be sharpened, which may be a disadvantage when it comes to personalised pencils vs pens, then again, this could also be a much bigger advantage that you think. Why? well, as I sit here writing this article, I’m looking at a few promotional pencils that are sitting here, in my pen pot and to be honest have been there for a long time, this is down to pure laziness on my part as I’ve never quite got round to sharpening them, so why is this a good thing? Because I would never throw any of those perfectly good wooden printed pencils out and all the time they are sitting there in my pen pot their business logos are clearly staring out at me, day in and day out..so it actually shows your company name or message off even longer than it would if it were being used! Having said that we do offer an optional sharpening service on all our wooden pencils, as well as selling a range of pencil sharpeners, leaving you the option on how best to present them to your target audience!
