Bamboo Pen

A pen with a bamboo barrel instead of molded plastic, laser engraved with your logo. The material changes how people treat it. A bamboo pen has some weight and a visible grain, so it tends to stay on a desk rather than vanish into a drawer, and it answers the sustainability question a buyer might otherwise raise about a plastic giveaway pen.

Professional services, universities and green brands

It costs more than a basic stick pen, and that is the trade you are making. It suits firms that want a credible eco item at pen money: professional services, universities and companies with a published sustainability commitment. Law firms, accountants and admissions offices use it as a desk-side leave-behind.

Engraving a narrow bamboo barrel

The pen is laser engraved, which burns the logo into the bamboo in a warm, darker brown tone. Engraving produces one tone only, so plan art that works without color. The barrel is narrow, so a horizontal logo or a single line of text reads best, and very small detail can blur in the grain. The free virtual proof shows the engraving size along the barrel.

A shallow ladder

• 100 pens: $3.12 each, $312.00 plus the $45 setup, $357.00
• 500 pens: $3.00 each, $1,500.00, setup waived
• 1,000 pens: $2.94 each, $2,940.00
• 2,500 pens: $2.81 each, $7,025.00

The minimum is 100. The price barely changes from tier to tier, so a small order is nearly as efficient as a large one. The real saving is avoiding the setup: 161 pens take the run past $500, or the 100-pen order can sit on a quote with notebooks or bags.

Five days to engrave

Engraving takes about 5 business days after you approve the proof, plus shipping time.

Why choose bamboo over a plastic pen?

The barrel is bamboo rather than molded plastic, which fits a sustainability message and has a heavier, more natural feel.
