How To Make a Maximum Impact With Promotional Plastic Pens- Print on the Clip

Friday, May 6th, 2011

The other day I received a shipment of promotional plastic pens printed with my logo. They looked great and I am really looking forward to sending them out to my clients in the coming months.

What really jumped out at me more than ever was the printing on the clip and it is that imprint area I would like to discuss in depth today. Purchasing promotional plastic pens that have large imprint areas on the clip is an excellent way to promote your brand with maximum impact.

Most cheap promotional plastic pens do not offer large clip imprint areas. If they do, they are usually very small and fail to make people think about your brand. Often people waste the clip print space by printing their telephone number or web address. I myself have been guilty of doing this.

If you are trying to build your brand, it is important to get your beautiful logo in all its colour out and in front of your clients. If your logo is printed in a prominent area on all your promotional gifts, letterhead and brochures, your customers will see it more often and know it much better. Printing your telephone number in such an area may make it easy for people to phone you but it will do little to build your brand.

People are much more likely to remember your logo than your telephone number.

The best logos I have seen printed onto pens really make the user take notice. Once your clients know your logo and grab for the pen with it printed on the clip, they can rest assured that your contact details will be there too. They are promotional pens after all.

We all like to save money when promoting our businesses, but the additional few pence per pen that it will cost to print on the clip is money well spent. Even if you have a two, three or even full colour logo, invest in the clip print and let your logo shout out loud and clear who you are.

I will leave you here with one final thought. When we write, we hold the barrel of the pen. The clip is alway visible unlike what is printed on the barrel. That is also the case when we put a pen in our shirt pocket – the clip is what is seen by all we encounter.

Have I convinced you yet? Finding good quality plastic pens that have large print areas on the clip will get your brand noticed!

Take a Look at the Prodir DS1 Pen

Friday, April 15th, 2011

When you purchase the Prodir DS1 Pen to promote your business, you are choosing a promotional pen that has vintage style and a retro look that is like no other. These promotional pens are excellent twist action writing instruments that offer a slender body with a cap that seems to flow into the unique clip. Promotional Prodir pens are always a popular choice – the DS1 is one of the most popular Prodirs available.

I have personally tested this pen and found it to be a joy to write with. I wrote over 3000 words with a DS1 pen in one day and the ink ran smoothly across the page as you would expect a Prodir to do. Yes, promotional Prodir pens are slightly more costly than other plastic pens but they are worth every penny.

When you look at the standard Prodir DS1, you will notice that the clip curves around leaving a small space between the cap and clip. There is an optional plastic dot that can be inserted into this space and printed on both sides. The effect can be quite eye-catching. Not only does it offer an additional two print areas, it really gets the pens noticed.

COLOURS

Your Prodir DS1 pens can be manufactured to order. There are numerous colours and finishes to choose from that help you to make these pens truly your own. You can choose the colour of the nose cone, barrel, cap, dot and clip. You can also decide whether you want a translucent, frosted or solid matt or polished finish. It’s all completely up to you.

PRINT AREA

There are potentially five print areas on the DS1 pen. If you choose to have the optional dot, there is a print area of 8mm x 8mm on each side.

On the back of the cap, you can print up to two colours in a print area of 23mm x 4mm. The main print area is on the barrel where you can print to six colours in a massive print area of 50mm x 25mm. There is also a nice sized print area on the clip.

If promotional Prodir pens are of interest to you, why not ask to see the DS1! We would also be more than happy to send you samples of other Prodir pens you think could work for you. Contact us today on 01642 782455.

Promotional Prodir DS2 Pens- The Promotional Pens with the Large Printable Clip

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Prodir DS2 Pens

A close-up of the DS2 Clip. Notice the print area to the side.

You should really try the Prodir DS2 Pen!

Prodir call the new DS2 pen The Energizer. It offers a high-energy design that is both versatile and vibrant. The first time I saw the Prodir DS2 pen I knew I had to get some printed for my business. I love writing with these high quality pens and I am sure you will too. Let’s look at what makes these promotional plastic pens so special.

Print Area

The Prodir DS2 Pen offers five different print positions for your logo and details. Most promotional pens only offer two or three at the most. Prodir pens have always been manufactured with promotion in mind rather than the retail market. They are designed with plenty of printable area to get your message across.

The largest print area is on the barrel which is quite large at 30mm x 28mm. The most noticeable print area, however, is on the large clip which is 40mm x 8mm. This is a massive print area for a clip that when printed will really get your brand noticed.

The smaller print areas that I really recommend you consider using are on the opposite side of the clip and also on each side of the clip. These print areas are large enough to accommodate most telephone numbers and web addresses.

Promotional DS2 Translucent finishMulti-coloured Printing

Both the barrel and the clip can be printed up to six spot colours. There are not many pen printers that can do this as well as Prodir. When Prodir DS2 pens are printed in numerous colours in several print spaces they can look really good. Ask for a sample to see for yourself!

DS2 Pens – Manufactured to Order

These are not bulk standard Chinese imported pens! All Prodir pens are manufactured in Switzerland to the highest quality standards. Though you can now purchase promotional Prodir pens in ready made standard colours, you will get the best results if you let us make them exactly to your specifications.

You can choose the colours and finishes of the barrel, nose cone, clip and cap. Why not mix-n-match the colours to compliment your corporate branding? When choosing colours, please note you can also choose from translucent, frosted, matt, metal and glossy finishes.

Promotional Prodir DS7 Pens- Pens To Impress the Decision Maker

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
Promotional Prodir DS7 Pens

Notice the yellow push button that makes the DS7 pen unique.

My brother-in-law, Don, is a financial advisor and he wanted promotional pens that he could hand out to his clients that said something about him. He has a very strong and serious persona that has helped him to be the success he is. Perhaps you or someone you know is like this. If so, the Prodir DS7 pen should be given some serious consideration.

Prodir – the Iconic Swiss pen manufacturer – has called the DS7 the ‘Decider’. I love the name because it emphasises the type of people this pen is aimed at – those who make the decisions.

These promotional plastic pens are traditional and classic in appearance but also have a futuristic feel and look to them that is so Prodir!

Don has just had a new logo created for his one man business so he decided to go all out and really promote his new professional look with a pen that complimented his brand. He did this with the Prodir DS7!

You can too and with the Prodir DS7 it’s easy.

Promotional DS7 ens

Another view of the DS7 push button.

These promotional plastic pens are different in that they have a push button mechanism on the back of the pen that will allow you to let your colours shine with exquisite taste. I have shown pictures of the button here in this post in the hope that it will get your creative juices flowing.

Can you see how choosing the clip, barrel and button colours of your pens could really make your brand stand out?

Let your imagination create the promotional pen that is perfect for you. Prodir manufactures each of their pens to order so you can choose the colour and finish of each component part.

You can choose from transparent and frosted components or glossy and matt solid colours that will speak more than a thousand words for your brand. Why settle for an off the shelf pen when you can design your own and really make an impact?

The Prodir Decider offers four nice print areas that you can use to really get your message out there. On the side of the clip there is print area of 30mm x 5mm that is perfect for a telephone number or most web address.

Turn the pen slightly and you have a 30mm x 7mm print space on the opposite side of the clip. Again this is a nice print area for a telephone number or website URL.

The main print areas are on the barrel in line with the clip which measures 30mm x 33mm. This is a good place to print a logo. The large clip offers print space of 45mm x 8mm which can also be printed with most logos or perhaps a memorable strap line.

At PromotionalPens.co.uk we would love to help you create the perfect pen for your business. For more details, please contact us on 01642 782455.

Promotional Prodir DS3 Pens- Pens You Will Be Proud To Give Away

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Promotional DS3 Pens

Promotional DS3 Pens - The special coloured ring can go between the clip and cap.

I can honestly say there is not one pen in Prodir’s range that I don’t like. I have used promotional Prodir Pens to market my own business. I have written about and even made videos to promote the brand because I want people to know just how excellent these promotional plastic pens are. Today I would like to tell you a bit more about the original Prodir pen, the DS3.

The twist action Prodir DS3 pen is timeless. I can say this without hesitation because it was in fact the first promotional pen I was introduced to when I first started in the promotional gifts industry twenty years ago. I noticed the Prodir DS3 pen at a trade show on Prodir’s stand and liked it immediately. It was simple, wrote well and offered plenty of printing space on the clip and barrel.

I purchased one thousand on the spot!

The DS3 has a design which is all its own and though many factories have tried to copy it, there is nothing on the market like the original Swiss made, high quality plastic pen.

Promotional Prodir DS3 Pens

Can you see how you can compliment your brand with different coloured rings?

I would like to dig a little deeper now to hopefully offer you some ideas as to how you might use these pens in your own marketing.

I have included picture in this post to show you an often ignored ring that is part of the DS3. I say ignored because many people just don’t know it is there!

The ring is fitted where the clip and the cap meet and can go unnoticed on the standard one colour DS 3 pens.

If you really want to make a statement about your brand, you can choose the colour of the ring as well as the other components that make of these popular plastic pens.

You can choose the colour of the nose cone, clip, cap, barrel and the before mentioned ring to create a pen that is truly your own.

Add to this the fact that the Prodir DS3 Pen offers four print areas that can be printed with your logo and other details and you could have a batch of promotional plastic pens you can really be proud of.

At Promotionalpens.co.uk, we would like to help you to have those pens that you are proud to giveaway. We can show you the range of frosted, translucent and solid matt or gloss components that are available in many different colours to compliment your brand.

The Promotional Prodir DS2 Pen is Put to my 3000 Word Challenge

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

The Prodir Pen company just sent me samples of the Prodir DS2 pen. This is an amazing pen! If you are already familiar with the DS2 but have not seen it in a while then it is time to look again. The popular Prodir pen has just got better.

I test all of the pens I sell in an effort to really get to know them. In doing so I hope to help you find the best pens for your promotions. I write 3000 words plus with each of the pens I test which of course is not a problem for any Prodir.

In fact, innovative Swiss pen manufacturer guarantees that each of the plastic promotional pens they produce has a writing life of 5000 meters. That is just over three miles!

This is important to anyone wishing to promote their business or organisation with the most popular promotional gift around: the pen.

Promotional pens can only promote your business well if they write well and last a long time. Think about it… If you picked up a sub-standard promotional pen, what would you think of the company that gave it to you. If it dried up in mid-sentence just after you received it, would you think good things? No! The experience may even have the opposite effect.

This will not be a problem with any of the personalised pens manufactured by Prodir. The DS2 is a pleasure to write with and deserves the good reputation it has.

So why is the DS2 so much better?

All promotional Prodir pens are made to order. You can choose the colours of the barrel, clip and other trim. There is even a new galvanised silver push button option that looks absolutely fantastic. It will certainly make a good impression.

There are now many different stanard barrel and trim colouran. There is even a special colour option if you purchase more than 10000 pens.

Promotional Prodir DS2 pens are by no means the cheap option. If you are looking for low cost pens there are a lot out there that you can purchase for less than the DS2. But consider for a moment why you are giving away pens in the first place.

Consider your brand and what you can achieve by handing out 1000 19p Far East imported pens. Now imagine giving away 500 DS2 pens at around 90p each. Which pens do you think your customers will prefer writing with? Which do you think they will like to own and will keep safe in their briefcase or in the desk drawer?

I don’t know about you but I know which pen I would prefer to represent my company. Today I have written in excess of 3000 words with the DS2 so that is easy for me to say.

But what about you? Don’t just take my word for it! I back these pens but I encourage you to ask for free samples and test them out for yourself. You will be glad you did!
