Custom Pencils
Sense2 supplies custom pencils with your logo — black wood pencils from $0.47 ex-GST at 2000 units, round HB pencils with erasers, coloured pencil sets in pine cases or kraft boxes and carpenter's pencils — with minimums from 50, typically 250 and a digital proof before anything is printed. Pad or screen print puts a one- or two-colour logo along the barrel, natural wood takes laser engraving, and cases, boxes and tubes take a full-colour digital print. Standard production runs ten to fifteen business days after proof approval.

How to choose
Start with the arithmetic. A plain HB pencil is among the least expensive things a logo can go on, and it is handled every time it is used, so the cost per impression falls with every sharpening. Round HB pencils with erasers suit schools, exams and conference desks. Coloured pencil sets in a pine case or kraft box read as a gift and pair with a colouring book at open days. Carpenter's pencils belong on site, where a flat barrel stays put on a beam. Pad or screen print handles most logos; laser engraving on natural wood gives a tone-on-tone mark that cannot rub off. Approve the proof at actual size; a round barrel is narrow.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom pencils?
Minimums start at 50 units on a handful of lines, and the typical line runs from 250. The lowest-priced black wood pencils are quoted at 2000 units, which is where the per-unit price falls furthest. The minimum sits on every product page, and prices step down as quantity rises.
How much do custom pencils cost with a logo?
Black wood pencils start from $0.47 ex-GST at 2000 units. A German-made STAEDTLER HB pencil runs about $1.15 and a carpenter's pencil about $1.25 at smaller quantities, while cased coloured pencil sets sit toward the upper end of the $0.47 to $24 AUD per unit range. A one-off setup charge per artwork is quoted up front.
Which branding method works on a pencil?
Pad print is the standard for one- and two-colour logos on a round barrel, and screen print suits longer runs. Natural wood barrels take laser engraving, which burns the mark into the timber so it never rubs off. Cases, boxes and tubes take a full-colour digital print for artwork with gradients or photographs.
Do you supply coloured pencils in sets for schools and kids' events?
Yes. Coloured pencil sets come in a pine case, a kraft box or a tube with a sharpener lid, in sets of six or twelve, including STAEDTLER colouring pencils. The logo goes on the pack, and on the barrels where the line allows. They pair with custom colouring books for open days and family events.
How long do branded pencils take to produce?
Standard production runs ten to fifteen business days after proof approval. Tell us your deadline when you enquire, and we will confirm what is achievable for the line and the print method before you commit to the order.
Can I see a proof before the pencils are printed?
Every order. You receive a digital proof showing the logo at actual size on the barrel or the case, with print position and colour calls, and nothing is printed until you approve it. A round barrel is narrow, so this is where a long wordmark gets simplified to stay legible.

Every sharpening is another impression
Run the numbers on a pencil and they favour it. It costs less than most things a logo can go on, and it is picked up on purpose — to fill in a form, mark a wall, score a round, colour a page. Each use is a fresh impression, and a pencil is sharpened rather than replaced, so the mark keeps working until the barrel is a stub. Sense2 supplies custom pencils as one order: HB pencils in natural or black wood, mini pencils for surveys and scorecards, coloured pencil sets in pine cases and kraft boxes, carpenter's pencils for site crews. Send the artwork and the quantity, and barrel colour, print method and pack format get settled on the proof, before anything is printed.
