Pens, Personalized Pens- What Makes the Perfect Personalized Pen?

When it comes to choosing pens, people are all over the board.  Some never give it a second thought as long as the pens write, while others spend hours looking for the right head and color.  Personalized pens can be a huge waste of money if the person who owns it does not like the type of pen it is.  For example, if John Doe prefers to write with black ink, chances are personalized pens with blue ink are going to be wasted.  These pens will end up at the back of his drawer and almost never be used.  No one else will want to use these personalized pens because his name is on them.  This is wasted money and space and it is totally unnecessary.

Whether buying pens for yourself or as a gift for someone else, personalized pens can be a great option.  However, as they will almost certainly be used only by you or the person you are giving them too, some extra thought is required.  Some things to consider are what kind of pens do you or the person you are buying for use typically.  Personalized pens are available in almost every type, so you really are not limited in the pens you buy just because they are personalized.  Consider the preferences of whomever you buying for when purchasing personalized pens.

Is a certain ink color preferred?  What about felt tip or ball point?  Pens come in many varieties.  Personalized pens can be any of these.  Materials and style are a factor as well.  Pens that are metal tend to last longer, and metal pens make great personalized pens as they can be engraved for an elegant look.  Plastic pens tend to be associated with being cheaper, but personalized pens made of plastic can be ordered in bulk in whatever color or point that is preferred.

A personalized pen that is exactly what is desired can be used for a long, long time.  Pens that take refills can be used even longer if properly cared for.   Nice, heavy pens have been known to be passed down as heirlooms, especially personalized pens with a last name only on them.  It is just not feasible to buy one that will not be used.  The last thing to consider is what the pens will be used for.  Those that have no preference can be difficult, so consider what they do.  Personalized pens that are going to be used for homework will have different standards than pens that will be used for signing contracts.
