The methods

Four ways to
make your mark.

The best fit depends on your artwork and the chosen pen. We can help you compare the options before you commit.

01

Quietly distinctive

Laser
engraving.

A focused laser creates a precise mark on the pen’s surface. The result has a restrained, tonal character, with contrast determined by the material and finish.

Consider for
Fine line work, names, and understated logos
Keep in mind

printing.

A flexible pad transfers ink onto the pen, making it a useful option for small marks on curved surfaces. Simple, well-defined artwork gives the clearest impression.

Consider for
Compact logos and clear spot-color artwork
Keep in mind
Color count and print area need to be checked

Before we begin

A few helpful
details.

A clear brief helps us recommend a thoughtful solution.

Which artwork format should I prepare?

Vector artwork, such as an outlined PDF, AI, or EPS file, is a helpful starting point for logos. For image-based artwork, provide the highest-quality original available. Our team can advise on the file requirements for the chosen technique.

Can I see how my logo will look first?

Ask us about artwork proofs and sample options when you contact the team. Confirm placement, scale, and the intended appearance before production. Screen colors are a guide; physical materials and finishes can look different.

How do I choose between engraving and printing?

Begin with the visual priority. Engraving is a useful choice for a subtle mark; printing gives more scope when specific colors are central to your identity. The pen’s material, finish, and available marking area help determine the final choice.
