What is the Clear Plastic Top-Opening Pin for Badges?
This pen is made from durable BPA-free plastic. It measures 1 1/2". This is the clear colorway.
Plastic is the value option: light, unbreakable and the lowest cost per impression in most giveaway programs. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Pens circulate: they get borrowed and not returned, which for a promotional item is a feature. Pad printing and screen printing are standard; some substrates accept UV printing.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $1.00 each at 1-11, $0.62 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 1 in x 1 in.
Pad Printing
A silicone pad lifts ink from an etched plate and transfers it to the product. Clean printing on curved and irregular surfaces.
Best for
Pens, plastics and small compound-curved items.
Color
Spot colors.
Screen Printing
Ink is pushed through a mesh stencil, one screen per color. Dense, opaque color that holds up to washing and handling.
Best for
Bags, apparel and high-volume runs.
Color
Spot colors, typically up to 4.
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
- 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.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.

Common uses
Conference kitsSpecified regularly for conference kits. The imprint area at 1 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
Reception and counter giveawaysWorks well for reception and counter giveaways, where the pen format does what a printed handout cannot.
Direct mailBuilt for direct mail. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
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
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. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
2
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Understated materials, restrained decoration and genuine quality all read as competence. Anything that looks cheap actively undermines the positioning, so this segment skews toward crystal, leather and solid desk pieces. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
3
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Shift work changes the specification. Items are carried between home, locker and ward, so anything that leaks, breaks or cannot go through a dishwasher gets abandoned within a fortnight regardless of how good it looked at the point of purchase. Pens circulate: they get borrowed and not returned, which for a promotional item is a feature. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
4
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. Pad printing and screen printing are standard; some substrates accept UV printing. Down to $0.62 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
5
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. A single approved item list, locked artwork and a repeatable re-order path stop forty locations producing forty versions of the logo. Stocked programs with fixed pricing are what make that governable. The pen format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.

What do buyers ask about JD120D?
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.
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 JD120D is 1 in x 1 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of JD120D in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How should this be cared for?
Top-rack dishwasher safe unless noted. JD120D measures 1 1/2" and is made of plastic. Plastic is the value option: light, unbreakable and the lowest cost per impression in most giveaway programs. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. JD120D sells from a single unit at $1.00, 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 is the minimum order for JD120D?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on JD120D. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on JD120D runs from $1.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $0.62 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
