A great pen never goes out of style — especially one with a name on it. Things Engraved offers custom engraved pens personalized with a name, initials, title, date, or company logo, laser engraved in Canada for a crisp, permanent finish. From sleek metal ballpoints to wooden pen sets in a personalized gift box, an engraved pen is a classic gift for graduations, retirements, new jobs, teachers, and corporate clients alike.
Our Engraved Pen Styles
Laser Engraved Metal Pens
Our stylized metal ballpoint pens in blue and red deliver a smooth writing experience with a professional look — and at an accessible price point, they're ideal for gifting individually or ordering in quantity for a team, event, or classroom.
Wooden Pen Sets in a Personalized Box
For a gift with real presence, our rosewood, maple, and two-tone walnut & maple ballpoint pen sets come in a matching wooden box that can also be engraved — a name on the pen, a message on the lid. These sets are our most popular choice for retirement gifts, graduation gifts, and milestone recognition.
Engraved Pens with Light
Practical meets personal: our custom engraved pens with a built-in light come in black, blue, silver, and red — a fun, functional stocking stuffer or thank-you gift for nurses, students, and anyone who jots notes on the go.
Custom Logo Pens for Business
Engraved pens remain one of the most effective corporate gifts: useful every day, professional in any setting, and a constant reminder of your brand. Engrave your company logo or a message for clients, conferences, and employee milestones — and pair them with desk name plates or other office gifts for a complete package. Bulk orders may qualify for our 20% corporate discount; see our corporate gifts collection or contact us for volume pricing.
Build a Personalized Gift Set
Make it a set: pair an engraved pen with a matching personalized notebook or journal engraved with the same name for a graduate, new hire, or writer in your life. Teachers, coaches, and mentors love them too — browse more teacher gifts for end-of-year ideas.
Caring for Your Engraved Pen
Keep your pen writing beautifully for years: wipe it with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, store it in its box or a pen case to prevent scratches, and handle it gently to protect the tip. Because the engraving is laser-etched into the surface, it won't rub off or fade with use.
FAQs
What should I have engraved on a pen?
A name or initials is the classic choice, often paired with a date or short title — "Class of 2026," "Happy Retirement," or a job title for a promotion gift. For business orders, a company logo or website keeps your brand in hand. Wooden pen sets give you extra space: engrave the pen and add a longer message on the box.
Are engraved pens good gifts for graduation or retirement?
They're among the most traditional and appreciated choices for both. A wooden pen set engraved with the graduate's name and year, or a retiree's name and years of service, is a keepsake they'll use and display. Find more ideas in our graduation and retirement collections.
Can I order engraved pens in bulk with my company logo?
Yes — logo pens are a corporate favourite for conferences, client gifts, and employee recognition. Volume orders may qualify for our 20% corporate discount; contact us with your quantity and logo file for pricing and a proof.
How long does it take to receive an engraved pen in Canada?
Each pen is engraved to order by our team in Canada, typically within a few business days, plus shipping time based on your location. Ordering for a graduation, retirement party, or event? Order a little early to guarantee arrival — and reach out for timelines on larger corporate orders.
