Description
Pen Tube is a clear plastic sleeve with a colored cap that dresses up a promotional pen for a trade-show giveaway table or a client welcome kit at a sales event.
The tube stands 6 3/4 inches high and comes clear with a light blue, yellow, or orange cap. A standard silk-screen imprint covers a 2-by-1 1/2-inch area in one color and one location only, since multi-color imprint is not available on the Pen Tube. Orders ship bulk in full carton quantities, and assorted cap colors must be ordered in full carton increments, packed 75, 125, or 375 per carton from China.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a pen tube better than a gift box for handing out promotional pens?
A pen tube upgrades a bare pen into a presented gift at a lower cost and weight than a rigid gift box. The clear body shows the pen the moment you hand it over, while a box hides the contents until opened. The tube also gives you a printable surface separate from the pen barrel, so one handout carries your logo in two places.
What events are custom pen tubes most often used for?
Custom pen tubes appear most often at trade shows, conferences, bank and credit union branch giveaways, real estate closings, university recruitment fairs, and employee welcome kits. Recipients tend to read a packaged pen as a gift rather than a throwaway freebie, which suits client-facing events. Assorted cap colors also let a single order serve several booths or campaigns at once.
Can I order pen tubes with the pens already inserted before shipping?
Yes, you can order pen tubes with each pen loaded into its tube before shipment for 16 cents per piece plus the cost of each pen. Name the pen style you want paired when you place the order so compatibility can be confirmed. A separate special packaging option covers 35 specific pen styles for a matched pen-and-tube presentation.
Where are pen tubes manufactured and do they carry any compliance certifications?
Pen tubes are manufactured in China and carry no published safety or environmental certifications. Because the tube packages a writing instrument rather than food or drink, food-contact certification does not apply to this item. Ask us before ordering if your program requires specific compliance documentation.
How long does production take for imprinted pen tubes?
Production time for imprinted pen tubes is quoted when you place the order rather than published as a fixed window. Blank tubes skip the silk-screen step and typically ship sooner than imprinted orders. Adding the pen insertion service adds a handling step before shipment, so build that into your event deadline. Share your in-hands date at quoting so the schedule can be confirmed against it.
How much does a custom printed pen tube cost per unit?
A custom printed pen tube costs $0.55 per unit with a one-color silk-screen imprint, or $0.25 per unit blank, at the 250-piece quantity. A $40 setup charge applies to imprinted orders and drops to $25 on reorders of the same artwork. Optional pen insertion adds 16 cents per piece plus the price of the pen itself. Your final cost depends on whether you imprint, whether pens are inserted, and how many full cartons you order.
