A typical low cost plastic promotional pen will write for approximately 1,000 metres or even less and many contain refills which are sealed into the pen and cannot be replaced or the type of refill is not available from retail shops.
Artistica writing instruments which are fitted with high quality Parker style G2 size refills have a write out length of 5,000 metres lasting up to five times longer than a typical low cost plastic pen, and they are refillable… even Sainsburys sell replacement Parker style G2 size refills!
Artistica products may be slightly more expensive, but are better long term value and as a reusable product are better for the environment… would you prefer your company logo to remain in the hands of the intended recipient or in the bin!
