Share
At Elma Vada Studio, we provide premium engraved pens designed for professionals, executives, and corporate gifting. To keep your custom-engraved pen in top condition, follow these expert care and refill instructions.
How to Maintain Your Engraved Pen
1️⃣ Keep Your Engraved Pen Clean
• Wipe your pen with a soft microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could fade the engraving.
• If ink residue builds up, clean it gently with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
2️⃣ Store Your Pen Properly
• Keep your luxury engraved pen in a pen case, desk organizer, or dedicated holder.
• Avoid extreme heat and humidity, as these can damage the ink flow and pen finish.
• If not in use for an extended period, store your pen vertically with the nib or tip facing up.
3️⃣ Handle with Care
• Avoid dropping your metal or lacquered business pen, as it may damage the clip or ink mechanism.
• Keep your pen separate from sharp objects like keys or coins to prevent scratches.
4️⃣ Do Not Clip Your Pen to Your Shirt or Suit
• Your body temperature can warm the ink, causing it to leak and stain clothing.
• Instead, store your executive pen in a protective case or briefcase to prevent ink flow issues.
How to Refill a Ballpoint or Rollerball Pen

✔ To replace the ink refill:
• Unscrew the pen barrel.
• Remove the empty ink cartridge.
• Insert a new ink refill and ensure it’s securely in place.
• Screw the barrel back together and test the pen.
💡 Tip: Use a compatible high-quality ink refill to maintain a smooth writing experience.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
🚫 Do NOT use alcohol-based cleaners—they can damage the engraving and pen finish.
🚫 Do NOT leave the pen uncapped for long periods—this can dry out the ink.
🚫 Do NOT use low-quality refills—they may leak, dry out quickly, or scratch the pen’s interior.
