02 · Metal banner pens
Metal banner pens
Metal barrels with a glitter or satin finish feel heavier in the hand and survive the bottom of a bag. Use them for client gifts, sales kits and dealer meetings, where the pen should look like more than a giveaway. Several can be laser engraved on the barrel as well.
03 · Banner pens with stylus
Banner pens with a stylus tip
A soft stylus tip on the cap end turns the pen into a touchscreen tool, so it gets used at kiosks, check-in tablets and phones as well as on paper. The banner prints in full color on both sides, like every other model here.

Buying guide
What a banner pen is, and why it works
A banner pen is a ballpoint with a printed sheet rolled up inside the barrel. Pull the tab and a full-color banner of about 7 by 2.5 inches slides out, printed on both sides. It is a flyer the recipient keeps on the desk, because it is also a pen they use every day.
That extra space is the point. A normal pen fits a logo and a phone number. A banner pen fits a calendar, a map, a rate card, a menu, a product lineup or a list of contacts, and it is still there months after a brochure would have gone in the recycling.
BuyBannerPens is run by BrandedItems, Inc., a promotional products distributor in Tustin, California. We prepare the banner artwork with you, send a free digital proof on the exact model you choose, and plan production around your in-hands date.
What to put on the banner
Treat the banner as a small poster with two sides. Content that people need to look up again works best: a yearly calendar with your logo, a campus or venue map, a menu or price list, rate cards for lenders and insurers, phone directories for clinics and city offices, or a product lineup for distributors. A banner that only repeats the logo wastes the space you are paying for.
Plastic, metal or stylus
Plastic banner pens cost the least and cover most trade show, school and direct mail programs. Metal banner pens weigh more and look like a gift, so they suit client meetings and sales kits. Stylus banner pens add a touchscreen tip, a good fit for tech, telecom and healthcare audiences.
Minimums and production time
Most models start at 1,000 pieces; the Universal Source models start at 500. Production runs from about two weeks to about six weeks, depending on the model, and each product page lists its own time. Several pens also have an ocean freight option from 5,000 pieces: a lower unit price for a 10 to 12 week wait. If the date is close, pick the model first and the price second.
Artwork for a banner pen
Each model has its own banner size, so we send the template for the exact pen you choose and lay out your content on it, at no charge. Both sides print in full color, edge to edge. Want different banners in one order, for example one per region or language? That is possible, and each extra design adds a setup charge, so it is worth deciding before the proof.
Banner pen questions
What is a banner pen?
A ballpoint pen with a printed sheet rolled up inside the barrel. You pull a tab to read the banner, and it rolls back in when you let go. Some models lock open. The banner is printed in full color on both sides.
How big is the banner?
Most banners are about 7 by 2.5 inches. A few models are smaller, such as the Stay-Open Pull-out Ad Pen at about 5.25 by 2.25 inches. Each product page lists the size.
What is the minimum order?
500 pieces for the Universal Source models, 1,000 for most others, and 5,000 for the ocean freight option. New clients have a $1,000 minimum order; corporate account clients order any quantity.
How long does production take?
From about two weeks to about six weeks after proof approval, depending on the model, or 10 to 12 weeks for the ocean freight option. Tell us your in-hands date and we will point you to the models that can make it.
Can you put our logo on the pen itself, not only the banner?
Yes, on many models. Some take a one or two-color imprint on the barrel or clip, and the metal pens can be laser engraved. The product page lists what each pen offers.
Do you design the banner?
Send us your logo and the content, and our design team lays it out on the banner template for your model. You approve a free digital proof before anything is printed.
Planning a banner pen order?
Send the content you want on the banner and a quantity. We come back with a free proof on the right model and tiered pricing. New orders start at $1,000; corporate account clients order any quantity.
