Sharpie® S-Gel Custom Promotional Pens – One-Color Imprint

Give customers, employees, and event attendees a recognizable writing instrument with Sharpie® S-Gel Custom Promotional Pens.

Key Features and Benefits

• Authentic Sharpie® S-Gel: Pairs your custom imprint with a widely recognized writing-instrument brand.

• Smooth gel ink: Produces bold, consistent lines for notes, signatures, forms, and everyday writing.

• Medium-point tip: Provides a practical balance between controlled writing and visible line weight.

• Retractable click action: Protects the writing point without requiring a removable cap.

• Textured rubber grip: Offers additional comfort and control during regular or extended use.

• Opaque plastic barrel: Creates a clean, professional surface for your custom logo.

• Polished chrome accents: Add a refined finishing detail appropriate for business settings.

• Coordinated branding: The Sharpie® logo is printed in the same color as your custom one-color imprint.

Recognizable Branding with Everyday Value

The Sharpie® S-Gel Custom Promotional Pen combines a recognizable retail brand with your organization’s custom artwork. Its professional presentation makes it a strong choice for campaigns where perceived quality and continued use are important.

Distribute these pens to employees, clients, conference attendees, students, or business partners. Because recipients can use them repeatedly for work, school, planning, and correspondence, your custom logo continues receiving exposure after the original event or promotion.

Smooth Medium-Point Gel Ink

The medium-point gel ink creates bold, consistent writing for daily professional and personal tasks. It is suitable for:

• Meeting and classroom notes

• Forms and applications

• Signatures

• Appointment records

• Journals and planners

• General office writing

Fresh gel ink may require a brief drying period, particularly on smooth or coated paper. Allow the writing to dry before touching, stacking, or highlighting the page.

Retractable Click-Action Design

The click-action mechanism extends and retracts the writing tip without a separate cap. This makes the Sharpie S-Gel convenient for workspaces, meetings, classrooms, conferences, and other environments where users frequently alternate between writing and other activities.

Retracting the tip after use helps protect it during storage and transport.

Textured Rubber Grip

The textured rubber grip provides a secure, comfortable hold while writing. It supports better control during extended note-taking, form completion, planning, and other everyday writing tasks.

Ink and Trim Coordination

The pen’s ink color coordinates with its trim for a cohesive finished appearance. The silver-trim option writes in black ink.

Available barrel, trim, and ink combinations should be selected from the current product options when placing the order.

Custom Imprint and Sharpie® Branding

Your one-color logo is printed directly on the barrel within a maximum area of 0.5" high × 1.375" wide. The Sharpie® logo is printed in the same color as your custom imprint, creating a coordinated presentation.

Suitable imprint content may include:

• Business logo

• Company or organization name

• Website address

• Event name

• Campaign message

• Short slogan or call to action

Because the manufacturer’s branding remains visible on the product, review both the Sharpie® logo and your custom artwork carefully during the digital-proof process.

Artwork and File Preparation

Vector artwork is recommended for the cleanest one-color imprint.

• Preferred formats: AI, EPS, or vector PDF

• Convert all fonts to outlines before submitting.

• Prepare the design using one solid imprint color.

• Keep the complete design within the 0.5" H × 1.375" W imprint area.

• Avoid photographs, gradients, transparency, drop shadows, and extremely fine details.

• Use bold lines and readable text suitable for a compact barrel imprint.

• Select an imprint color that contrasts clearly with the chosen pen.

• Traditional bleed is not required because the artwork is printed within a defined imprint boundary.

• Maximum upload size: 75 MB

If vector artwork is unavailable, submit the highest-quality file available for evaluation. Final acceptance depends on whether the design can be reproduced clearly using one-color printing.
