Mechanical Pencils

Yes, you read the headline correctly... printed pencils that are mechanical! I'm not talking cogs and springs and oil sloshing about just to get some lead on a page; I'm talking about those products that are often referred to as technical pencils or architects pencils. They have a plastic or metal barrel and can often be similar in apearance to their promotional pens conterparts.

I find that these mechanical pencils are often much more effective for sketching with as they always have a consistant lead width and don't ever require sharpening. As they are often constructed using more durable materials, you often find that they are maintenance free bar occasionally buying replacement lead refills.

What makes these promotional pencils all the more effective is that they can become excellent message carriers as they come in a variety of colours so quite often there is a colour that will complement your corporate i.d. effectively.

Spring and promotional pencils

Come the season of spring, new life is abundant and in April tradition would dictate that the showers are to follow. This means that the perfect promotional pencils for this season have got to be Rainbow Pencils.

These vibrant and funky looking pencils are based on a traditional simple pencil design but have a blended multicoloured exterior. When they have your logo on, printed pencils can be very effective marketing tools for your brand and message.

If you don't want them all to be the same colour however, you could of course utilise Neon Pencils which again are based on traditional printed pencils but with black trim and self coloured erasers. The bright flourescent colours on the shaft offer themselves as a really powerful background which only serves to enhance your lgo and message when printed on the barrel. Pencils really are effective promotional gifts.

The brightest promotional pencils on the planet

You want your message to stand out don't you? Well there's one product around right now that appears to be making a real impact with businesses and organisations alike and is a particularly popular giveaway with the public sector. I am of course on about Neon Printed Pencils.

Ok so the print isn't luminous but the pen exterior really is and comes in green, orange, pink and yellow. They all have self coloured erasers on the end and black trim. Promotional pencils are available in a range of colours and styles including standard pencils, mechanical printed pencils and many more.

The reason why these pencils work so well is that they are so vibrant and strong and message carriers for all sorts of campaigns. Fire services, local councils and other welfare organisations find them to effective tools for promoting their message because of the unusual nature of these products, thus people and children in particular are keen to hold on to thm for longer.
