Custom Pens and Pencils Under $1

If the goal is a pen in every hand at a convention, a branch lobby or a voter drive, this is the collection to start with. All 173 writing instruments cost less than a dollar each. The cheapest is an International pencil at $0.15, and a long list of plastic click pens such as the Serrano, Cheer, Crush, Bravo and Echo sit just above it.


Paper Mate InkJoy pens bring a name brand into the budget range, and recycled aluminum pens, bamboo stylus pens and twin tip highlighters show that a low price does not have to look cheap.


Under a Dollar, Sorted

  • Plastic click pens: the Serrano, Sunrise, Easy, Delta and Lincoln in recycled ABS cover most giveaway needs.
  • Paper Mate InkJoy: retractable pens with black or colored ink and white barrels, a brand many offices already stock.
  • Metal look: the Beckett in recycled aluminum and an aluminum pen with a bamboo plunger.
  • Stylus pens: the Evolution, a tropical incline pen in bamboo and a trio pen with LED light.
  • Highlighters and pencils: twin tip and jumbo chisel highlighters, plus wooden pencils from the low end of the range.


Screen printing applies across the board, two styles add a full-color option, and 68 use recycled materials. Each style asks for at least 100 pieces, and some for 1,000, a scale that fits banks, hospitals, colleges, campaigns and hotel chains that buy pens by the thousand. With such low unit costs, it is easy to order a second style for a different department or event.

Yes. Paper Mate InkJoy pens appear in 7 versions, including retractable pens with colored ink and white barrel pens with black or colored ink, at about $0.57 each. One Scripto item also falls under $1. A known brand can make a low-cost giveaway feel more substantial to the person receiving it.

As an example, 500 pens at about $0.29 each come to roughly $145 before setup. Setup fees here range from $25 to $55 per design, so the total stays modest. Minimums run from 100 to 1,000 pieces, and the per-piece price usually drops further as the quantity grows.

Every product in this group can be screen printed, which is the most economical way to add a one or two color logo to a pen or pencil barrel. Two products also offer full color printing. For the cleanest result on a narrow barrel, keep the artwork to a logo and a short line of text.

Sixty-eight of the products use recycled content. Look at the Lincoln Pen in recycled ABS, the Riley Gel Pen in recycled PET, the Beckett Pen in recycled aluminum and an aluminum pen with a bamboo plunger. Bamboo and wood barrels are also available for buyers who want a natural material at a low price.

Production for this collection takes about 11 to 17 days, depending on the product. Since the setup fee is a bigger share of the cost on low-priced items, combining your order into one design and one larger quantity is usually the most economical approach.
