Pen Packaging
Choosing custom pen gift boxes for a set comes down to material and how many pens each one holds. Here's how it breaks down.
- Paper Sleeves: Matt black card that slots together around one or two pens, plus a sleeve with a pocket clip cutaway.
- Cardboard Boxes: Lift-off lids, elastic loops, sliding window boxes and magnetic closures, some with die-cut foam or glossy textured paper.
- Lined Cases: Black hinged boxes with white satin lining and a kraft box with a padded velvet base and ribbon.
- Soft Cases: Velvet pouches and a zip-up PU case with a leather look and built-in strap.
- Timber and Metal: Bamboo and wooden flip-lid boxes, a twist-fastening wooden case and an aluminium tube.
- Clear Plastic: A lid-and-base case with a built-in pen holder.
A primary school farewelling its principal puts two pens side by side in a double box. At the final assembly, the principal lifts the magnetic lid in front of the staff and both pens sit in the foam exactly where they were placed. The set goes home in one piece, ready for the study desk. Pens to pair are in our pens range.
Most styles can be printed as branded pen gift boxes and some can be printed in full colour digital. The PU case and kraft box hide their elastic loops inside, so the set looks clean when the lid opens.
Before You Order
Which pen packaging is best for a two-pen gift set?
A magnetic double paper box with a die-cut foam base is the best fit for a two-pen set. The kraft box with a padded velvet base and the satin-lined hinged case also fit two pens and feel more formal.
Do the pens come with the packaging?
No, every style is sold without a pen, so pens are ordered as a separate line. Most styles fit regular rollerball, ballpoint and fountain pens, and the velvet pouch is made for exactly those types.
How do I choose between cheap pen boxes and timber cases?
Choose by how long the box needs to last after it's opened. Cardboard boxes and sleeves keep each unit's cost down for large handouts, while bamboo and wooden boxes stay on a desk long after the event.
Are custom pen gift boxes a good choice for staff service awards?
Yes, bamboo and wooden flip-lid custom pen gift boxes suit service awards because they stay on a desk long after the event. The satin-lined hinged case also holds two pens and gives a matched set a more formal feel.
