Engraved pens in metal with your logo: what they cost and which to choose
A metal pen with your logo costs from €1.60 per unit, with branding included. Not all metal pens do the same job: one chosen for onboarding does not work in quite the same way as one given to a client or to senior management. Here you can see today’s prices, the most common uses with real products, and the details worth checking before you order.
How much do engraved metal pens cost?
Price per unit with your logo in one colour in the standard print area, excluding VAT and delivery. The unit price goes down as quantities rise because the branding setup is spread across more units.

For onboarding and teams
When you need a metal pen for a welcome pack or for your team, what matters is a smart look without pushing the budget too far. This is where aluminium barrels, including recycled aluminium, work well, with laser engraving on the barrel and, on some models, a stylus tip.
The most common mistake is choosing a silver or very light barrel: the engraving has less contrast and the logo is harder to read. If you want a clean result, darker shades are better; and if your brand colour is essential, ask for pad printing instead of laser engraving.

If your campaign calls for a useful item with an environmental angle, it is worth looking at mid-range promotional metal pens: they keep the weight and feel of metal, and many use recycled aluminium. Laser engraving gives a discreet logo that stands up to daily use.
Check the refill and the mechanism before you confirm the order, because those are the two things people notice most when writing. If it is going into a welcome pack, pair it with a notebook in a similar shade so the whole set feels consistent.

When the pen is being given to a specific person, the material and the feel in the hand matter more than the saving per unit. The premium range brings together the most solid models, with more presence and one-colour laser engraving, well suited to meetings, signatures and corporate gifts.
Do not expect coloured engraving or a long logo on the clip: on metal, the laser reveals the material itself, and narrow areas only suit symbols or short marks. If you want to go a step further, also look at our custom fountain pens and rollerballs.

How each type of metal pen is branded
| Type | Technique | How the logo looks |
|---|---|---|
| Anodised aluminium | Laser or CO₂ engraving | Light, almost white, against the barrel colour |
| Stainless steel | Laser engraving | Grey on the steel; if lacquered, the metal underneath shows through |
| Metal when the logo needs to be in colour | Pad printing | One or more solid colours on the barrel |
| Clip and narrow areas | Laser engraving or pad printing | A symbol or very short logo works better than long text |

The prices on this page are per unit, with your logo in one colour in the standard print area, excluding VAT and delivery; if you need another technique, it will be adjusted in the quote.
Upload your logo on the product page to see the price straight away, or ask us for a free full-size mock-up: you only pay when you approve it. The delivery time is shown on each product page. If you want to check the weight, the mechanism or the engraving tone, ask for samples first.
