BIC Promotional Pens

Known for their design, quality and precision, BIC promotional pens are the perfect product to attach your business name to. BIC is a loved and respected global brand, established over 60 years.

The pen pioneers

BIC’s innovative writing tip and ergonomic design shifted the worldwide market from fountain pens to ballpoints in the 1950s. The company invested in pioneering Swiss technology, developing a 1mm stainless steel sphere which allowed ink to flow freely. Once they found the right ink viscosity which didn’t leak or clog, they were granted a license to market their renowned Cristal pen by Biro.

Over the years, the Cristal has not changed much; it has a slim hexagonal shaped barrel made from clear polystyrene. The shape was designed to mimic a wooden pencil, and is translucent so you can see the ink levels. There are holes in the barrel to equalise pressure and prevent leakage, the hole in the cap is to minimise the risk of accidental inhalation.

Branded BIC pens

The original Cristal does not make the ideal BIC promotional pen because it was designed as a cheap disposable. The hexagon barrel is unsuitable for personalisation and the clear plastic means the print won’t stand out very well.

To use promo pens effectively, your gift should have a high perceived value so recipients like and use it for long periods of time. We offer the following BIC promotional pens, chosen especially for the branded merchandise market:
