Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering this product

The minimum order for the Onyx Recycled Steel Pen is 20 units. At the 50-piece tier, the price is €18.32 per unit with laser engraving included — the highest price point in the SoMerch pen range. Available in 4 colors: Black, Green, Greige, Navy. Volume tiers are available above 50 units. EU shipping is quoted separately. At €18.32@50, the Onyx is positioned as a premium branded pen rather than a promotional item. The RCS-certified recycled stainless steel construction, Parker-compatible refill, and 1,200-metre writing capacity justify the per-unit cost for programs where the pen is a centrepiece item in an onboarding kit or a recognition gift.

Yes — the Onyx ships with an 8-business-day production timeline and delivers to any EU address in 2-6 business days after production. The slim form factor makes it a standard co-pack item alongside a notebook in an onboarding kit. No size management needed. SoMerch warehouses stock and fulfills on demand after the production run. The Parker-compatible refill means recipients can replace the ink cartridge rather than discarding the pen — a practical sustainability feature for a premium pen. Include a note in the kit explaining the refill compatibility. The Onyx is the most premium stationery item in the SoMerch catalog; it works best alongside a matching notebook rather than in a low-cost bundle.

The Onyx writes with a 1.0 mm ballpoint tip using Dokumental® blue ink with a writing capacity of up to 1,200 metres. The matte finish and soft rubber coating provide a comfortable grip for extended writing. The professional pocket clip and cap mechanism are constructed to the same material standard as the pen body. 1,200 metres of writing capacity is typical for a premium ballpoint refill — significantly more than standard promotional pens. The Dokumental® ink is a quality ink formulation, not a commodity ballpoint fill. For programs targeting executives or senior hires where the pen is a daily use item, the Onyx's writing performance matches its premium appearance.

The Onyx Recycled Steel Pen carries RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) certification, confirming that 19% of the stainless steel used in its construction is verified recycled content. RCS is an independent third-party standard that traces recycled material through the supply chain, providing an auditable proof point rather than a self-reported claim. 19% recycled stainless steel is the confirmed certified fraction — the remaining steel is virgin material. RCS certification means this 19% claim is independently auditable. For programs requiring a higher recycled content percentage, the Onyx is still the strongest ESG option in the SoMerch pen range. The Parker-compatible refill also extends the product's functional life, reducing waste over time.

The Onyx is customized by laser engraving, with a print area of up to 60×5 mm along the pen barrel. Laser engraving removes the matte surface coating to reveal the steel beneath, creating a permanent, precise mark. The engraved logo will not fade or wear off regardless of daily handling. The cap and clip are not engraving areas. The 60×5 mm area is a narrow horizontal band along the barrel — it suits a wordmark, a short brand name, or a compact logo in landscape orientation. Very tall or square logo formats should be adapted to a horizontal version for pen engraving. A same-day mockup confirms the logo scale and placement on the Onyx barrel before production is confirmed.

The Onyx is the right pen for programs where quality signal matters — executive onboarding kits, senior hire welcome packs, recognition gifts, or programs where the pen is a centrepiece item rather than a filler. At €18.32@50, it is not a promotional giveaway pen — it is a daily-use item designed to stay with the recipient for years. Best paired with a premium notebook (Oakridge Canvas, Terra Cork, or Hard Cover Sugarcane) for a cohesive stationery bundle. For programs needing a lower per-unit cost, the Senator Evoxx (€3.56@50, recycled ABS, 48h turnaround) is the practical alternative. The Onyx wins on material quality, permanence of customization, and sustainability certification.
