Personalizing custom pencils with logos, slogans, event names, or other text is easy! Your imprint is applied to the barrel using a silkscreen imprint method. Here’s a tip for the perfect promotional pencil: If you want to customize your pencil with text only, you can choose a personalized pencil of any size or shape. If you want to include your logo or another image on the pencil, choose a pencil with a round barrel or a carpenter-style barrel, rather than a hexagon shape.
