At Steel City, we’ve carefully selected this fountain pen range to really take the stress out of your decision-making. We want to avoid those common issues like artwork shifting or pens that feel cheap in the hand.
When you’re ordering for gifting or events, we know it’s the small choices – like engraving position, nib type, and boxed presentation – that decide whether that product lands well with the client or gets forgotten in a drawer.
- Proof-Checked Alignment: We know how important the details are. Our proofing process puts artwork approval first, and only then does the 6-working-day clock start. This ensures the print placement is consistent with exactly what you signed off, reducing the risk of logos arriving off-centre or rotated across the batch.
- Fixed Engraving Window: We prioritise set engraving areas (like 45 × 5mm and 40 × 6mm) to keep your branding straight on caps and barrels. Curves can sometimes make logos look stretched, so this gives you a clean, permanent mark that won’t rub away. It’s about leaving a lasting impression.
- Named-Brand Reliability: We include recognisable fountain pen brands with official gift boxes because we know you want that perceived quality. The pen body and the writing feel are already proven. If you’re handing these over to clients or staff, we want to avoid the let-down of a scratchy nib or flimsy packaging.
- Boxed Hand-Over: It’s intentional that boxed presentation is standard across the range. It stops scuffs in transit and ensures the item looks great the moment it arrives. This allows you to hand pens over in meetings or at awards straight away, without having to repack anything yourself.
- Post-Approval Timing: We work to a clear 6-working-day turnaround from artwork approval so you can plan exactly when your items will land. We know deadlines can be tight, so this helps reduce the need for chasing updates or scrambling for last-minute replacements.
- Useful for the Day-to-Day: We’ve curated everyday nib options (fine where available) because we know standard office paper can sometimes cause issues like bleeding or feathering. We want this to be a product people can actually use for their meeting notes without fighting the ink – it has to be useful for the recipient.
- A Strong Starting Point: This range is here to give you a dependable baseline for branding areas and quality presentation. However, we take a consultative approach; if you need different finishes, colours, or more bespoke options, our expertise and supplier relationships mean we can usually source exactly what you need.
