You will find retractable ballpoints, gel pens, stylus combos and recycled-material options from BIC, Paper Mate, Zebra and Basecamp. Promotions Now sends free samples to businesses and organizations so buyers can test ink quality and grip before ordering.

Common Questions About Promotional Pens Under $2

What are the best promotional pen ideas under $2?
BIC retractable ballpoints are the top reorder because people already trust the brand. Paper Mate InkJoy gel pens feel premium. Stylus pens do double duty at tech events. Recycled pens carry a sustainability message, and jumbo-barrel pens stand out on a desk. Pick several, request free samples, and they arrive before the meeting so your team can write with each one.

Can I try a few pens before I order a thousand?
Yes. Add several to your sample basket, or call 800.378.6376, and a set ships to your office. Pens are personal, and the only way to know if the ink is smooth and the weight feels right is to hold it. The samples arrive organized so you can pass them around the team.

What is the minimum order for promotional pens?
Most pens on this page start at 100 or 150 units. Higher quantities bring the per-unit price down further, which is why pens are popular for large events.

How are pens imprinted?
Standard pens are pad printed with a one-color logo on the barrel. Full-color wraps are available on select models. Each product page shows the imprint area and method.

How fast can pen orders ship?
Standard production is about one to two weeks after art approval. Rush is often available on high-volume pen orders. Call 800.378.6376 to confirm timing for your event.
