What is the Black Gloss Ballpoint Pen with Stylus?
The Black Gloss Ballpoint Pen with Stylus is a pen built around Quality materials selected for decoration and everyday durability. It measures 5 1/8". This is the black colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer..
Pens circulate: they get borrowed and not returned, which for a promotional item is a feature. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top.
This sits in the giveaway tier, where the job is reach: enough units to hand one to everyone who walks past the table, at a cost per impression low enough that nobody has to justify it line by line. Concretely: $6.30 each at 1-11, $3.91 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 3 in x 0.25 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.

Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Compliance shapes the purchase more than taste does. Many institutions cap the value of a client gift and require it to be logged, which pushes this segment toward pieces that read as considered rather than expensive. Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
2
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Patient-facing and staff-facing items are different purchases and should be budgeted separately. What works as a staff appreciation piece often reads as inappropriate in a waiting room, and the reverse is true just as often. Volume is the point at $6.30; nobody is auditing this line item.
3
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
4
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Local operators will source their own if the approved path is slower or costlier than the alternative. The way to hold brand consistency is to make the compliant option the easy one, with stocked items and fixed pricing. An imprint area of 3 in x 0.25 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
5
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. The giveaway is a conversation opener, not a memory device. Its real job is giving someone a reason to stand still for ninety seconds, which is why something that invites a question outperforms something that merely carries a logo. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.

What do buyers ask about LP831?
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on LP831 as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on LP831 is 3 in x 0.25 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on LP831 is 3 in x 0.25 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. LP831 measures 5 1/8". Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. LP831 sells from a single unit at $6.30, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on LP831 is 3 in x 0.25 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What is the minimum order for LP831?
LP831 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on LP831 runs from $6.30 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.91 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on LP831 is 3 in x 0.25 in.
