Light slides across the barrel of the Urban Gear Turin (UG-MP04) and a swirling pattern shows beneath the shine, which is what makes it a glossy metal pen that stands apart from plain office stationery. The barrel comes in red, blue or black, each with a ripple-like design running through the colour, and polished silver trims at the tip, the centre ring and the clip finish the look.
The body is metal, and the pen measures 1 x 1.5 x 13.7 cm, so it has a pleasing weight and still fits a jacket pocket or a notebook loop. A twist design brings out the writing tip when you turn the barrel, so there is no cap to lose. For signing papers or noting down details in a meeting, this glossy metal pen is quick and simple to use.
Three colours are available: black, red and blue. Black stays formal, deep red adds a bold, confident touch and blue gives a calm, corporate feel. Because the barrel carries the colour, it is easy to match a shade to your brand when you order in numbers, and a glossy metal pen in your own colour looks well chosen rather than generic.
As a gift, the Turin suits farewell presents, anniversary awards, client thank-you notes and festive hampers, where a pen with some character feels more personal than a standard one. Engraving and screen printing are both available, so a name, logo or short message can be placed on this glossy metal pen.
If you want a pen that looks polished, suits a formal setting and still has a little colour, a glossy metal pen like the Turin is an easy pick, for one person or a full team.
