Yes, every pen or pencil in an order can carry a different name. You supply the names as a list, and each item gets one line of up to 20 characters. Pens and pencils are text only.
📋 Set up the list
- Use Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) or Excel (.xls/.xlsx).
- Put one name per line or row.
- Make the number of entries equal the quantity you order. If a name must appear twice, list it twice or add a quantity column.
- Keep each entry to 20 characters or fewer, including spaces and punctuation.
- Type the names exactly as they must appear. Capitalisation, spelling and punctuation are produced as supplied.
| Example row | Result |
|---|
| Thandi M. | One pen or pencil engraved or foiled "Thandi M." |
| Grade 3B | One item with "Grade 3B" |
✅ Check before you send
- Count the rows against the ordered quantity.
- Look for names over 20 characters and shorten them yourself.
- Proofread spelling, especially surnames and initials.
- Remove hidden rows, comments and notes that must not be printed.
⚠️ Warning: we produce the list as supplied and do not correct names. A spelling mistake in your list is printed as written, so check it before the order is sent into production.
📤 Sending it
Upload the file on the product page, or if it is too large, email a Google Drive or WeTransfer link with your order number straight after ordering. For list-building tips, see submitting personalisation lists for bulk orders.
