Short text looks best on a narrow pen barrel: a first name, initials, one meaningful word, a short role or a date. A full quotation is usually less clear.

✍️ Text that works

• A first name or initials.
• One meaningful word.
• A short role or a date.
• A concise business name.

• Use simple capitalisation and avoid dense punctuation.
• Check the character limit on the exact product, because different pen models do not share one limit.

❓ Frequently asked questions
