Did you know that your favourite fountain pen, ballpoint, rollerball pen or mechanical pencil from Caran d'Ache can be engraved? We have a selection of writing instruments from the Écriture and Haute Écriture collections that we engrave with the utmost care. Give indelible memories, mark a momentous occasion, or simply treat yourself to an exceptional gift.

Engraving with certified Swiss Made quality

In our Geneva workshops, the Caran d'Ache technicians have studied and mastered various techniques for engraving the barrels of pens.
Laser engraving is used for complex motifs or advertising logos. Milling provides a sophisticated finish on instruments from our Écriture and Haute Écriture collections. We can also engrave using a diamond point to guarantee absolute precision.

How to choose an engraving

Select a pen from our Ecridor, Léman or Varius range, and make sure it is compatible with engraving. Then choose a typeface and text, such as a date, name or initials.
No matter whether you have chosen a fountain, ballpoint or rollerball pen or a mechanical pencil with a satin, gold or coloured finish, adding your own engraving will bring that extra touch of intention.

Engraving: for making a lasting impression

The noble Ecridor, personalised

The luxurious pens and mechanical pencils in the Ecridor collection have palladium- or gold-plate finishes, finely etched to be ultra-agreeable to the touch.
There is an Ecridor instrument for each occasion. The Ecridor Heritage Ballpoint features guilloche on a palladium-coated brass barrel. It is perfect for giving to a loved one on a special occasion. Whether for a wedding, christening or anniversary, an Ecridor fountain pen, rollerball or mechanical pencil will leave a lasting impression. Explore also the Ecridor Milanese Mesh and Ecridor Avenue.
And for a gift for a man who is into sports? Engrave his initials into a model from the Ecridor Racing collection. Each pen or pencil has a matt black chrome finish with a graphic guilloche pattern reminiscent of a car grille.

Lake Geneva engraved in a precious Léman writing instrument

Elegant. Bold. Voluptuous. These are the qualities that characterise the Léman collection of lacquered fountain, ballpoint and rollerball pens and mechanical pencils. The Léman collection honours the colours of Lake Geneva in timeless hues of blue, red, black, and white.
For a gift that will make a powerful impression, accompany an engraved Léman fountain pen with a Chromatics inkwell.

Varius prestige, inscribed for a special occasion

The pens and mechanical pencils in the Varius range are benchmarks for comfort and excellence. They come in gold plate, rhodium-plated silver, ceramic and carbon.
For a personalised statement piece, add your engraving to the classic and elegant Varius Ivanhoe Black ballpoint. Or customise the Varius Ebony fountain pen, either in rose-gold plate or in sumptuous ebony wood and rhodium-plated silver.
