Step 1: Injection

The process begins with the PPC pellets being fed into a large mixer, separated, and measured into the perfect portions. From there, they are poured into a giant funnel known as a hopper. This process is repeated for the pen caps, clutches, and interior barrel.

Step 2: Ink Refill

Metal tips at the end of the pens called nibs are attached to the plastic barrel and the inks are filled on an assembly line. The ink is then injected into the cartridge through the tip and given a twist.

Step 3: Pen Testing

The pens are put through testing through multi-parameter machines. This fascinating equipment is able to measure the refill's affinity, the wear rate of the pen, and the amount of ink flow at various writing speeds.

Step 4: Assembly
A technician places the ink chamber into the barrel, slides on the spring, screws on the tip, and pops on the thrust tube and push button.

Step 5: Inspection

Every pen is inspected by hand to ensure quality control. If any of the pens are faulty, they are tossed aside.

Step 6: Adding Your Logo

Custom pens require an additional step before they are ready to be shipped. The logo is added to the barrel or clip, usually through screen printing, engraving, or deboss.

Step 7: Packaging

The shipping department wraps your personalized pens in plastic, boxes them up, and sends them to your doorstep.
