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.
