Here at Amsterdam Printing, we LOVE pens. And we offer so many styles in pens from Stylus Pens, Stylus Penlights and even Plastic Pens, and each pen can be used in so many ways!
Recently, we received a nice letter from a pilot thanking us for our Boardroom Stylus Penlight. He is a flight instructor and he was saying that many of his pilots use tablets to store the required publications and navigation aids, so the stylus was perfect for them. He also said that the ballpoint on the pen can be used to copy their clearance while flying. A pilot and his students finding all of these uses for our Boardroom Stylus penlight—who knew?
Well that got us thinking, there are probably so many uses for our pens, so we did some exploring and we came up with the top 22 unique ways to use your promotional pens.
