Because banner pens are among the newest promotional gifts in use today, the specifications on these famous promotional products are largely unknown by many. In particular, companies, organisations, and owners of businesses want to know what Promotional Banner Pens bring to the table to fully gauge just what kind of impact they will create for their promotions. To be better acquainted on this, here are the common features found on banner pens:
- The barrel of the pen is itself nothing different from the barrels of any other ordinary pen except that the banner is wound around it and coiled by a simple mechanism. Because of the banner, the barrel is considerably fatter than ordinary barrels with some models as large as half an inch in diameter, the size depending on the length of the barrel. However, because the pens are intended to be given out as promotional products or promotional gifts, the they are a bit more special in that they usually come with a rubber grip for better handling.
- The banner on Promotional Banner Pens is made from fabric or from neoprene material that is elastic and doesnt get torn no matter how many times it is unwound from the barrel of the pen. The average size of the banner is sometimes bigger then a credit card and both sides of the banner are printed with promotional messages, the business name or logo, and sometimes the companys contact details.
- The lead on the banner pens are nothing of the ordinary, although some companies prefer to use multicolour pens for better appeal with the public. The purpose of such a step is to see to it that the multiplicity of ink colour will mean that any recipient will have everything needed to get the writing job done.
- Promotional Banner Pens often feature retractable writing canisters that allow them to be hidden inside the barrel of the pen when not in use. The mechanism to operate it is rather simple; just a simple slide-on switch to toggle the canister in and out of the barrel does the job.
- For ease of use, Promotional Banner Pens often feature a short clip on the barrel that allows the owner to clip the pen to his shirt. Likewise, the clip can also be used to attach a lanyard that prevents the owner from losing the pen, which may happen during a hectic day at the office or outside.
