Eco pens

Which materials can you choose?

Bamboo and its natural appearance

The NICOLE bamboo pen is an example of a model listing bamboo as a material. Before choosing it, check which parts this description refers to: bamboo components do not mean that the mechanism, tip and refill use the same material. Natural grain can also result in visual differences between individual pens.

Paper and mixed materials

The NAIROBI paper pen offers a different feel and appearance from bamboo, while DEVIN with wheat-straw fibre and ABS is an example of a combined material. The presence of plant fibres does not mean a pen is entirely plastic-free. If the proportion of each material matters to your order, check it for the particular model.

How do you choose a pen for its intended use?

Shape, mechanism and refill

For larger batches distributed at events, consider grip comfort and ease of use. Check whether a model has a push-button mechanism or a cap, and what type of writing tip it uses. A replaceable refill can also matter for everyday office use, but it must not be assumed for every pen. Compare the specifications of shortlisted models and request clarification where needed.

Space for your logo

Your artwork needs to fit the size and shape of the branding area. Small lettering, multicolour designs and curved barrels can affect the choice of method. Gajcom selects a suitable personalisation method based on the material, design, quantity and desired appearance; laser marking may also be an option on suitable surfaces. Check the possibilities for your chosen model before ordering.

When should you compare other pens?

If the writing experience matters more than the barrel material, also compare the ballpoint pens in the related category. A material's appearance does not tell you how the tip writes or how long the refill will last. For similar models, the stated materials, mechanism and branding options are more useful criteria than the product photograph alone.

For a specific quotation, prepare the approximate quantity, chosen model and logo file. The personalisation method and any preview can then be agreed for the particular order.

Frequently asked questions

Are all eco pens plastic-free?

No. This category also includes, for example, a model made with wheat-straw fibre and ABS plastic. With bamboo or paper pens, it is equally important to check the composition of the other parts rather than just the material highlighted in the name.

Does the word “eco” prove recycled content or biodegradability?

No. The category name alone does not confirm the proportion of recycled content, biodegradability or certification. Consider such properties only if they are specifically stated and supported for the selected product.

How can I check whether the refill is replaceable?

Look for information about replacement refills or refillability in the product specifications. If none is given, check whether the refill can be changed and which type fits before ordering. Refillability should not be assumed for every model.

Can these pens be branded with a logo?

Personalisation is possible on suitable models. The method depends on the material, shape, usable area and artwork. When enquiring, specify the model, quantity and proposed design so that a suitable branding method can be checked.
