Pen Assembly Machine: Ballpoint, Marker & Refill
Pen parts go in loose; assembled pens come out.
Pen assembly machines for writing instruments: ballpoint pens, markers and water-based pens, pen refills, pen caps, clips, sleeves, plugs and seal rings, pencils and other stationery, plus refill wax tipping and writing test machines. Loose pen parts are fed in and put together into finished pens. Every assembly machine is set up for the customer's own parts.
Send us your part drawing or photos. We check which machine can assemble it, then send you a quote.
