FSC® stands for 'Forest Stewardship Council'® . The 'tick tree logo' has become a familiar reassurance to users and consumers of paper and wood products worldwide.
Printed-Pencils are designed to carry simple and straightforward messages, so we generally advise that you stick to text with a simple logo, if required. It is worth avoiding complex or intricate logos that require several colours or contain fine details. For example, a Coat of Arms wouldn't recreate well on an Printed Pencil because of the nature of the printing process and the restricted print height.
A solid block logo like the Nike logo or something simple like the Swiss flag wouldn't be difficult to print.
A simple logo may well enhance the look of your Printed Pencil. Please send us your logo design and we can make a suggestion regarding its suitability.
You can submit a logo enquiry via our Custom Printed Pencils page.
The minimum order for these custom printed pencils is 250 for most of the ranges (500 for some). Given all the work that goes into the set-up for printing and assembly, it isn't financially viable to produce them in smaller runs. If you really wanted a smaller run, we could do it, but it would probably work out at almost the same cost as taking the minimum 250, so you may as well just take the extras as spares!
Postage/carriage is free to one UK mainland address. UK mainland covers England, Scotland and Wales but not Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, and Scottish Islands.
Please contact us if you’re not sure where you fit in. Anywhere outside our ‘free carriage’ area will be charged the lowest possible rate to ensure the order is as cost-effective for you as possible. Export is also available and many popular Countries can be added at the Checkout. If your Country is not listed, please Contact Us, with your full delivery address, for an export carriage quotation.
Many of our clients come from the trade, so it is industry standard practice to initially quote without VAT. Most companies are able to claim their VAT back if they're VAT registered in the UK or VAT can be excluded for export orders. We promote the "ex. VAT" figure, but make it clear in the price matrix that VAT is extra for those who will also be incurring this cost. We cannot sell goods without charging VAT unless you have an exemption, e.g. exports outside the UK. Please note that as the customer, you would be liable for any duties or customs costs.
If you have a deadline, please tell us as soon as you first order or enquire. Our standard quotes are based around a turnaround of 10 to 12 working days from the day you approve the proof. However, we do regularly shave a couple of days off those times. It is sometimes possible to 'jump the queue' by several days if you're willing to pay the Express Handling fee that our factory requires.
