New printed pens site
At last the new printed pen site is up and running with all the new products in place.
From budget to expensive and eco friendly to executive the pen range has expanded with many old favourites such as the Duo and Twisty Ball Pens being featured but also some new pens such as the Evolution and the Harrier. Not every pen is priced on the web so be ready to respond quickly to quote requests.
Whilst you are familiarising your self with the new printed pen site take a look also at the printed mugs site. Enquiries for these products are picking up and the price for printed standard earthenware mugs is keen. Printed mugs are a great business gift, they always look good, they are a substantial gift and yet relatively inexpensive, and well worth considering.

Biodegradable pens and recycled products
Not so long ago I wrote a piece about recycling and recycled goods and was surprised at how much response there was. Clearly there is a lot of interest and concern about the environment especially as just recently there has been so much in the news about climate change, destruction of the sea floor ecology, unsightly wind farms and so on. The other day I came across this anecdote in an extract from Jonathon Sachs new book. ‘Two men were walking along a beach where a great number of sea urchins had been washed ashore after a storm. The younger of the two was picking up the sea urchins and putting them back into the ocean. The older man asked why he was doing this when it was obviously a hopeless task; only a few could be saved. The young man replied that he realised this but saving a few was far better than saving none at all.’ Perhaps there is a message here for the people who say that recycling is a waste of time and that whatever we can do is just a tiny drop in the ocean of waste being produced every day. If we do not change our ways we shall build up a disastrous problem for our children and grand children and they will suffer the consequences of our negligence and selfishness. Just doing a little bit will help, buy recycled goods or biodegradable goods, cycle to work or walk, turn off the TV instead of leaving it on stand by, recycle as much paper, glass, plastics and garden waste as possible- think green!!

Conference season and printed pens
Printed pens to put into conference boxes or ring binders are an important item of merchandise. Printed pens will be seen and used throughout the conference and if given with a ring binder will undoubtedly remain with the client for a considerable time, long after other giveaways have been binned or stuck at the back of a drawer. The range of pens to choose from is enormous and so whatever the corporate colours or image there is bound to be at least one pen that reflects the brand requirement. The Monarch Frost Ball Pen and the Kiki Frost Ball Pen with rubber grip are both very stylish with large print areas. However, the best budget pen for a conference giveaway has to be, in my opinion, the Duo Ball Pen or the X One Ball Pen. These pens are robust and write well which cannot always be said of the budget end of the range. If an eco friendly image is necessary then we have a good range of recycled products on offer including a recycled Yo-Yo for those inevitable ‘I am bored’ moments!! If a yo –yo won’t do it for you then try one of our stress shapes – guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of even the most stressed conference attendee.
