Branded pens and stationery in Calgary
Nobody throws away a pen that writes well. Put your name on it and it travels from desk to desk for months.
Quick answer
Branded pens are writing instruments printed or engraved with a company logo and contact details, used as low-cost giveaways and staff supplies. SURE Print Foothills supplies custom pens and branded stationery in Calgary, including notebooks, sticky notes and desk items, with logo setup and a proof before production.
Pens are probably the most borrowed object in any office. That's what makes them useful. A pen you hand a client at the end of a meeting ends up in a cup on their desk, then in a colleague's pocket, then in someone's glovebox in Airdrie. Each person who picks it up sees your name.
We help you choose pens and stationery that match how you'll use them. A plastic click pen works for a big trade show handout. A heavier metal pen makes more sense as a thank-you to a client who just signed. Notebooks and sticky notes stay on desks longer than almost anything else.

Options
Pens and stationery we can brand
Plastic click pens
Light, inexpensive and available in lots of barrel colours. The standard choice for events where you're handing out hundreds.
Metal pens
More weight in the hand and a more finished look. Good for client gifts, staff onboarding kits and front desks.
Stylus pens
A pen on one end and a touchscreen tip on the other. Handy for anyone who signs on paper and tablets in the same day.
Notebooks and journals
Branded covers for meetings, conferences and new-hire packages. People carry these around for months.
Sticky notes and notepads
Cheap to produce and used constantly. Your logo gets seen every time someone tears off a sheet.
Desk accessories
Items that live on a desk full time, so your name stays in view long after the event.

Keep the imprint simple
A pen barrel gives you maybe a couple of inches of space, and most of it curves away from the reader. Your logo and one more thing (a website or a phone number) is plenty. Try to fit a full address and a slogan and nobody will be able to read any of it. If your logo has fine detail, we may suggest a one-colour version just for small items. It'll look cleaner, and it usually costs less to produce.
FAQ
Branded Pens & Stationery questions
How much do custom pens cost?
Price depends on the pen style, the quantity, how many colours are in your imprint and how it's applied. Larger orders bring the per-pen cost down. Tell us the style and quantity and we'll email you a quote.
Can you match my brand colours on a pen?
Often, yes. Many pens come in a range of barrel colours, and imprint colours can usually be matched closely to your brand. We'll note the colours on your proof so there are no surprises.
What should I put on a branded pen?
Your logo plus one contact detail, usually a website or phone number. There isn't room for much more, and a cluttered imprint is hard to read.
Do you also print notepads to go with the pens?
Yes. We print custom notepads in our own shop, so you can order matching pens and pads for a desk set or a conference kit.
