There was a time, perhaps about ten years ago many sectors relied on inexpensive capped ball  pens to promote their business, but sadly in recent years we have seen a decline in demand for this type of pen. After casual observation over the past five years it would appear there are a few reasons why this trend seems to continue unabated.

  • Price: Retractable Pens such as our range of Harrier Extra Ball Pens are now as cheap as most capped ballpens.
  • Seminars & Conferences often opted for capped pens because of the distracting noise that retractable ballpoint pens make. Retractable Promotional Pens are now, in the main very silent in operation
  • Environmental Issues. Many establishments such as hotels consider the environment and are opting for Recycled Pens or Biodegradable Pens and these tend to be retractable.
  • Child Safety. Many consumers are worried about the cap blocking airways

Here at The Pen Warehouse, we believe that the trend is applicable to all pen suppliers as we see less and less of capped promotional pens in Distributor’s catalogues. Being old-school I love pens with caps because I believe they are still better value for money compared to retractable promotional pen – for the simple reason that the refills tend to be much longer and therefore your corporate message remains in front of your target audience longer.

Don’t worry about , child safety, environmental issues, price or cap noise because our range of  Envirostick Ball Pens are an all-in-one solution to these problems.

  • It contains a large breather hole to comply with child safety standards
  • It is very inexpensive
  • It is made from recycled and fully certified EcoAllene material derived from Tetra Pak drinks cartons.

So, there is absolutely no reason that we should not see a resurgence in demand for the good old capped ball point pen. Give us a call for samples – you will be overwhelmed!
