Custom Pen Question

June 12, 2008 8:02 AM

Custom pen question. I need about 1000 custom pens "printed." Primary color of the pen itself should be blue or blue/green. Ink color doesn't matter. The problem I'm running into is it's for an organization which will not be using a CC. I need to find a cheap company who will do this by invoice/check only. Any ideas?

I'm sure that there are plenty of advertising specialty companies who will do this by invoice/check. I don't have the time to research it, but just google and then look at their payment policies. If you are unable to find one who won't do this by invoice/check, is there any reason why you couldn't get a visa/master card/amex gift card for the total amount and us that? You can order these online or through many banks, or just purchase at your local grocery store or drug store. It will add $5 to the total cost, but seems like a good solution in a pinch.

Almost any local quick print shop or sign-making shop (like a Jiffy Print or whatever) will do this for you. They don't do them in house, usually, but they all have agreements with some SuperPenPrinting company so the back and forth will be transparent to you.

Also, OfficeMax and such places will do it via their copy desk.

Go do to your local print shop and ask there. They can do these.

I used to work for a printer who was an ASI member and we did this stuff all the time. If you go through the printer, you can most certainly pay by check/invoice. You can find local distributors here.

Lots of places will do this, though you will probably have to get the organization's credit approved with the vendor first. You might want to check out 4imprint, lots of options and the prices are generally pretty good. They send you samples for free and the customer service people are nice.
