2. Material selection
Different materials can give neutral pens different textures and performance, and also affect the presentation effect of advertising information:
• Pen holder material
Plastic: including PP, ABS, PC, etc. PP material is affordable, lightweight, and has good corrosion resistance; ABS material has high strength, smooth surface, easy printing and processing, and can effectively display advertising patterns and text, making it a cost-effective choice; PC material has high transparency, which can create a crystal clear pen holder effect, suitable for customized needs that pursue fashion sense.
Metal: such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. Stainless steel material is sturdy and durable, with outstanding texture, not easy to rust, and can be used for laser engraving and other processes to make advertising information more upscale; Aluminum alloy material is lightweight and has a metallic luster. After anodizing and other treatments, it comes in a variety of colors and can meet different design needs, making it suitable for mid to high end customization.
Composite material: composed of plastic, metal, wood, and other materials, combining the advantages of different materials. For example, a pen holder made of plastic and metal combines the lightweight of plastic with the texture of metal, presenting a unique visual effect.
• Pen tip material
Stainless steel: It has good wear resistance and smooth writing experience, with moderate cost, and is a commonly used pen tip material in customized neutral pens, which can meet the needs of most scenarios.
Tungsten carbide: extremely high hardness, super wear resistance, long writing life, even ink output, suitable for customized neutral pens with high requirements for writing quality, such as high-end business gift pens.
• Ink material
◦ Pigment ink: Full and rich color, strong light resistance, not easy to fade, good waterproof writing performance, suitable for writing documents that need to be stored for a long time, and can also ensure that the relevant markings on the
advertising pen remain clear in various environments.
Dye based ink: Bright and vivid colors, smooth and fluent writing, strong adaptability to paper, relatively low cost, suitable for customized neutral pens for daily writing and general promotional scenes.
3. Information Content
Customizing the information content on a neutral pen is the key to promotion, and a reasonable design can effectively enhance the effectiveness of the promotion
Core advertising information: including the company's promotional slogan, product features, event themes, etc. The language should be concise and powerful, with infectiousness, such as "innovative technology, leading the future" and "limited time discounts, not to be missed", which can quickly convey the company's core information.
Brand logo: Print or engrave the company logo and brand name in a prominent position on the pen holder, ensuring that the logo is clear and recognizable, consistent with the overall design style of the pen holder, and deepening consumers' memory of the brand.
• Auxiliary information: The company's contact information (such as phone, WeChat, email), company address, official website, QR code, etc. can be added according to actual needs. These information should be accurate, well-organized, and avoid affecting the comfort and overall aesthetics of the pen.
Information layout should pay attention to clear priorities, highlight brand identity and core advertising information, and arrange other auxiliary information in an orderly manner to make the entire pen look neat and easy to read.
2、 Process Description
1. Printing process
We have advanced printing equipment and a professional technical team, which can provide you with a variety of high-quality printing processes to ensure that advertising information is clear and firm:
• Pad printing: Suitable for pen holders of various materials, especially those with irregular surfaces, it can accurately print patterns and text with clear printing effects, good color expression, strong adhesion, high production efficiency, and suitable for mass customization.
Screen printing: It can be printed on various materials such as plastic, metal, and composite materials. The ink layer is thick, the colors are bright and full, and the three-dimensional effect is strong. It is suitable for printing large-area patterns, text, or gradient color designs, which can make advertising messages more eye-catching.
Laser engraving: mainly used for pen holders made of metal, some plastic and other materials, permanent patterns and text are engraved on the surface by laser. The lines are fine, the texture is high-end, not easy to wear, suitable for mid to high end customization, and can showcase the quality of the brand.
UV printing: using UV ink, it is quickly cured by UV irradiation after printing, with strong pattern adhesion, bright colors, good scratch resistance and corrosion resistance, which can keep advertising information clear and new for a long time, suitable for customized needs with high printing quality requirements.
2. Pen making process
• Pen holder production: The plastic pen holder adopts injection molding technology. The plastic raw material is heated and melted before being injected into the mold. After cooling and shaping, the desired pen holder shape is formed, which can accurately control the size and accuracy of the pen holder; The metal pen holder is processed through multiple processes such as cutting, stamping, bending, and polishing to ensure a smooth and flat surface; The composite material pen holder adopts corresponding splicing and processing techniques according to the characteristics of different materials to ensure that each part is firmly connected.
Pen tip production: The production of pen tips goes through strict processes, first stamping the raw materials into shape, and then finely grinding and polishing to ensure that the pen tip is round and smooth, does not scratch the paper when writing, and produces ink smoothly and evenly. After multiple inspections, the quality of the pen tip is guaranteed to be stable.
• Pen core production: The pen core is the core component of a neutral pen. We use high-quality ink and pen core tube to accurately inject ink into the pen core tube, then install the pen tip and tail plug for sealing treatment to ensure that the ink does not leak, writing is smooth, and the service life is long.
3. Assembly process
The assembly process pays attention to details to ensure precise coordination and smooth use of each component
• Assembly of pen holder and pen core: Accurately place the pen core inside the pen holder, and fix it tightly with the pen core through threaded connection or snap fastener, ensuring that the pen core will not shake or fall off during the writing process and ensuring the stability of writing.
• Pen tip and pen holder assembly: For neutral pens that require separate installation of the pen tip, connect the pen tip and pen holder through precise threads or plug-in connections to ensure a secure connection, smooth ink output, and no ink leakage.
• Pen cap and pen holder assembly: The fit between the pen cap and pen holder should be just right, which can tightly fit and effectively protect the pen tip, and can be easily opened and closed for convenient use. Usually, a snap or elastic fit is used to ensure ease of use.
After assembly, we will conduct strict quality inspections on each customized gel pen, including smoothness of writing, firmness of component connections, clarity of printed or engraved advertising information, etc., to ensure that each product meets your requirements.
