Writing instruments - brand ambassadors with line width

Ballpoint pens, fineliners and pencils are the classics among promotional items – but they are far from being outdated. With high-quality branding, sustainable materials and suitable manufacturers, writing instruments become real image carriers – from promotional items to high-quality gift packaging.

Why writing instruments work

Writing instruments are among the most frequently used everyday products. With their permanent presence on desks, in bags or at meetings, they create unobtrusive but effective touchpoints for your brand. Their feel, their functionality – and their origin – determine the impression they make.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Long service life = high advertising impact

  • Large selection of materials, shapes and price ranges

  • Ideal as a giveaway, onboarding tool or business gift

  • Optionally sustainable, made in Germany, recyclable or refillable

Brand quality - Made in Germany

We work exclusively with selected manufacturers – from inexpensive to premium, from sustainable to exclusive. So you get the right writing instrument for every occasion.
