  • How do I upload my logo for custom pens?

    On the product page, choose “Logo Only” or “Logo and Text” as the printing option and attach your file in the “UPLOAD” box. We accept .AI, .EPS, .SVG, .PSD, or high-resolution .JPEG files, printed in one color.

    Text-only imprints are free; logo imprints add a charge shown on the product page. For file tips, see our Artwork Guide.

  • How much text can I print on a custom pen?

    Most plastic pens fit 3–5 lines of text with up to 35 characters per line, and laser-engraved metal pens fit up to 2 lines. The product page shows your pen's limit and counts characters as you type, and text lines are free.

  • Can you print more than one color on a pen?

    No, every imprint is a single color. If you need help choosing a color that stands out on your pen, email info@pensxpress.com.

  • What imprint colors are available for custom pens?

    Our standard imprint colors are black, white, gold, silver, red, blue, and green, and each product page lists the colors available for that pen.

    For dark pens choose gold, white, or silver; for light pens choose black, blue, red, or green.

  • What do the fonts used for pen imprinting look like? Can I see them before ordering?

    Yes. Choose from 15 fonts in the Font style dropdown on the product page; Lato is the most popular. You can also see all of them here. If you'd like your text bold, larger or in italics, tell us under "Special order instructions." A font that isn't on our list counts as a logo and needs a logo file.

  • Can I see a proof before my pens are printed?

    Yes. The product page and cart show an on-screen preview of your text, font, and logo placement; for an exact layout, request a free PDF proof in the “Special Order Instructions” box or by replying to your order confirmation. We email the proof within 2–3 business days and don't print until you approve it.

    Shipping options (transit time is added after production)

    • Ground: 1–5 business days
