About Us
Our pens start at under 40 cents each for budget plastic pens in volume and run past $100 for premium branded writing instruments. Between those two points sit more than 1,500 standard pens, over 15,000 completed jobs and more than 20 million pens sold since 2003. PensOnly is the dedicated writing instrument site of the PromotionsOnly group, based in Lane Cove, Sydney.
From giveaway to gift
The range covers every job a pen gets asked to do. Cheap plastic pens for letterbox drops, open homes and conference bags. Mid range metal pens for staff and client use. And deluxe metal pens and name brand writing instruments for settlement gifts, retirements and awards. We stock the brands people recognise, including Parker, Waterman, BIC, Cross, Lamy, Paper Mate, Uni-Ball, Cerutti 1881 and Hugo Boss.
If the pen you want is not among the 1,500, our sourcing office in China gives us factory direct access to more than 20,000 pen styles, and virtually any shape, colour or mechanism can be produced to order. Novelty shapes, corporate colour matches, custom barrels. If someone has made it, or could, we can get it.
Branding that suits the pen
We offer standard printing for logos and contact details, full colour digital printing for artwork that needs the whole picture, and laser engraving for metal pens where a printed logo would wear off in a pocket. The right method depends on the pen body and how long you need the branding to last, and we will steer you to the one that fits.
Speed when you need it
Standard production is two weeks. When the conference got booked late or the stock ran out mid campaign, some of our factories can turn branded pens around in 3 days, and in genuine emergencies 24 hour express production including branding is available. Tell us the real deadline and we will tell you honestly what can be done.
Who we supply
Everyone from ASX 200 companies and global brands, Nikon and ANZ among them, ordering thousands of pens at a time down to the local real estate agent who needs 100 plastic pens for the next open home. Twenty million pens is twenty million handshakes, desk drawers and signatures. Whatever the order size, the artwork gets proofed and approved before a single pen is branded. Trade buyers are part of the mix too, and resellers get dedicated pricing through our reseller application.
Our story
PromotionsOnly began in a home office in 2003, moved to North Ryde when the spare room stopped coping, and settled in Lane Cove in 2005. The business was built on a then unusual idea: showing prices online from the day it launched, instead of making buyers ask for them. That decision is a large part of how a home office operation grew into a group that has completed over 200,000 jobs and supplied more than 150 million branded products. Today our Sydney team works alongside our own office in China, with sourcing capability beyond 2 million promotional products. More than 20,000 of those are pens, which tells you something about how seriously we take this category.
Beyond the order book
The business has donated monthly to WWF, Sea Shepherd, Médecins Sans Frontières, World Vision and Monika's Doggie Rescue for more than 15 years, sponsors two children through World Vision, and has supplied the Humpty Dumpty Foundation with product at cost or free for over a decade. If you are buying for a registered charity, we discount the prices shown on the site.
A pen is the promotional product people actually keep using. Make yours the one that writes first time, every time, and has your name on it when it does.
