Recently, in one of my many, many, catalogs I saw a pen gift box that
held either two pens in parallel or one at an angle.

Does anyone here recall whose catalog that is in? It's time to step up
my packaging a notch.

Bill.. I can't find the box that you mentioned, I think I bought them from Craft
Supplies..

IMHO, they suck..
I tried 10 and neither I or my clients were impressed... The problem is that
whatever direction you put the pen(s), there is an ugly groove in the box bed in
the direction that you're not using..

I've tried everything from velvet pouches to wood boxes that "lift and present"
the pen when opened..

The consistent winner is below.. Very economical and even less if you just do
thin pens and put 2 in the case..

http://www.pennstateind.com/store/pk-box3.html

Reasons that I've been happy with them:

About a buck each, in quantity

Same bed as the cardboard cover box but with transparent top

Nicer presentation IMO than round, square or triangular tubes

Neutral bed color shows off pens, while the wood boxes tend to blend in with the
pen..

Mac,
Thanks for the response. Will the recommended box hold a cigar pen?

It should... I haven't done Cigar pens for a long time, but I put roller ball
"designer" and "Classic" pens in them...

Thanks. I've got a starter order of 20 coming. Even if they don't fit a
cigar pen, I've got plenty of others for sale.
