Description
Ellie Rubberized Dart Pen is a plunger-action pen with a smooth rubberized finish, a comfortable option for a classroom prize bin where kids grab pens that feel good in hand and write right away.
Ellie Rubberized Dart Pen ships in Gray, Red, or Royal Blue, each ready for a silk-screen imprint on a 1 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch area in up to two colors. Assorted colors must be ordered in increments of 50, and the pen packs in bulk. Refills use black ink in a medium point. A custom pen tube option adds a one-color imprint on the tube plus pen insertion, with a 250-piece minimum. The pen is made in China.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rubberized dart pen and what is it used for?
A rubberized dart pen is a retractable plastic ballpoint pen wrapped in a soft rubberized coating that improves grip and gives the barrel a matte texture. Promotional buyers order it as a low-cost, silk-screened logo giveaway for trade shows, front-desk counters, and direct-mail campaigns. The click mechanism means there is no cap for recipients to lose.
How does a rubberized pen compare to a standard hard-plastic promotional pen?
A rubberized pen adds a soft-touch coating over the plastic barrel, while a standard hard-plastic pen has a smooth, glossy surface. The coating gives a firmer hold during long writing sessions and a matte look that sets off a silk-screened logo. Both styles use the same ballpoint refill format, so the difference is feel and finish rather than writing performance.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom rubberized dart pens?
The minimum order is 250 pens, which is the lowest published pricing tier. Quantity breaks then apply at 500, 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000 pieces, with the per-unit price dropping at each step.
How much does a custom rubberized dart pen cost per unit?
Per-unit pricing runs from $0.79 at 250 pens down to $0.45 at 5,000 pens, with breaks at 500 pens ($0.69), 1,000 pens ($0.60), and 2,500 pens ($0.52). Final cost depends on order quantity, the number of imprint colors, setup charges, and whether you add the optional custom pen tube. A second imprint color adds $0.25 per piece.
Are there setup charges for printing a logo on these pens?
Yes, a $40.00 setup charge applies per imprint color, and exact re-orders pay a reduced $25.00 setup. The optional custom pen tube carries its own $40.00 setup plus $0.71 per piece, which covers a one-color, one-location tube imprint and insertion of the pen. Factoring setup into a 250-piece single-color order adds 16 cents per pen.
What events are budget promotional pens like this best suited for?
Trade shows, conferences, career fairs, bank and credit union branches, healthcare check-in desks, and school orientation events are the most common venues for pens in this price range. A sub-dollar unit cost lets staff hand a pen to every visitor instead of reserving giveaways for qualified leads. Daily desk use then keeps the imprinted logo in view long after the event ends.
Where are these promotional pens made, and do they carry compliance certifications?
The pens are manufactured in China. No safety or environmental certifications are published for this pen, so request compliance documentation with your quote if your program requires verified standards.
