Who should skip this page
Buy this page if the piece has to live in a cup, a pew, or a registration bag and people will write with it. Skip it if you need a click pen. That job is custom pens when that page is the one you want. Skip it if the gift has to open a bottle. That is custom keychains, aluminum opener at $675.14 print for 300. Skip it if the message has to stand on a sidewalk. That is A-frame signs, one 24″ x 36″ Standard frame at $112.11 print.
Imprint size vs barrel length
The pencil is 5/16″ by 7-1/2″. The Design Studio cards on this page use a 4.5″ by 1″ imprint canvas so type stays readable. Do not paste A-frame 380 point headlines onto that strip. Keep the brand line, the hours, and the phone inside the cyan safe on the guideline JPG. Magenta is the cut. Black is the 0.05″ bleed. The 55printing mark sits in the open field, not on the rings.
Industry imprint practice for wood pencils is documented by the Promotional Products Association International. One color on the barrel is what this form prices. Full-wrap photos and foil are not on this calculator.
What 500 pencils actually covers
500 pencils is a cafe counter cup plus a small event bowl. It is not a school-district pallet. If you need a classroom set for one grade, 500 often covers it. If you need a district, use 2,500 or 5,000 and read the packed total before you add to cart. 2,500 packed to 33140 is $1,175.98. That is the number to compare against a local trophy shop quote, not the $317.83 default.
| Quantity | Ground | Print + ground | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 (form default) | $317.83 | $13.64 | $331.47 |

Can I order fewer than 500?
Not on this form. 500 is the first quantity this page harvests from the supplier. If you need a handful of display pencils, buy 500 and keep the rest, or skip to a different promo product. A smaller test pack is not a priced cell here. The calculator will not invent a 50-piece or 100-piece row.
Is this a photo imprint?
No. The form prices 1 Color Imprint. Upload a one-color vector or a high-contrast PNG. Design Studio cards on this page are type layouts for that strip. Do not send a 24×36 poster PDF and expect it to fit a 5/16″ barrel. Full-wrap photos and foil are not on this calculator.
How do production days differ from the delivery window?
Production is 5 business days after you approve the file and pay. Shipping starts after production. Ground is 1 to 5 days in transit. 2nd Day Air is 1 to 2 days. Next Day Air is 1 day. On 500 to 33140, ground is $13.64, 2nd Day Air is $18.12, and Next Day Air is $32.03. Those air totals do not shorten the print clock.
If the pencil job is the one you want, set the form back to the $317.83 default for 500 or pick 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, or 10,000, then add the order from this page.
