The pens that we used for the Something Building brand is R.S.V.P. by Pentel, a nice clear pen that can easily be taken apart add your paper and then put back together with no problems. The pens cost us $9.49 for a pack of 12. As an e-publisher I'm pretty good with photoshop but if photoshop is not something that you can afford you can do a google search and find free versions of photoshop knock off's that work just as well. And if you have a regular color printer that works just fine. You don't need to have anything super expensive or mind blowing out of this world for a printer, just make sure that you don't have any jumps or skips when you print. When I measured out the inside of the clear pens I used cm's and roughly got 8 cm's wide and 2 cm's in height.
When you create your page to be that size in photoshop or even the photoshop knock off it makes it easy to go wild with creating how you want your information displayed regarding your business and yes if you prefer to have your face in your pen have at it! It's not hard at all. From there print it out and cut, roll the paper with a round chop stick or a super small pencil, this will make it easier to add the rolled paper right to the tube and put the pen back together. And to prove how easy it really was here is the proof. And it only took less then an hour to "fix up" all 12 of the pens that I purchased at office depot.
And as you can see I have added our picture from our radio show and somethingbuilding.com web adress.
