Which pen is right for you? We want to break down the three things to consider when ordering pens for your property.The Ink
There are four primary styles of ink for you to choose from. What are you currently using, and what type of life are you getting out of your pens?- Standard ball pen – German Dokumental Ink & tungsten carbide tip
- Smooth Rite – Same as Standard but slightly larger ball writes smoother
- Gel Ink – Uses a wax tip to keep the ink from drying prior to first use
- Ultraflow Hybrid Inks – Writes smooth like a gel pen but dries fast like a ball pen
The Style
Just like anything, style matters, and that includes the type of pen you provide for your guests. Do you want something simple or something memorable? We’ve seen the feedback from guests – they can often form quite a fascination with their hotel pens. The most popular pens stylistically include:- Stick pen
- Plastic Ballpoint Pen
- Plunger Style
- Twist style
- Twist/Plunger with Grip
- Metallic Ballpoint
- Plunger Style
- Twist Style
- Twist/Plunger with Grip
- Stylus Style – rubber tip to use with electronic devices
The Design
Obviously, no matter how great a pen performs, you want the guest to attach your property with that pen. Fitting your logo and carrying your desired message is almost as important as the functionality.
