Because Signo metallic gel pens sit so smoothly over paper and have an opaque finish, they are perfect for hand-lettering projects over black paper and Kraft card. SIGNO gel pens look great on black and Kraft surfaces.
Go ornate with wrap
For us there is nothing more pleasing and individual for Christmas than hand-illustrated wrapping paper.
If you use simple brown or white paper the wrap is sustainable too!
PIN fine line works wonderfully over old packing paper. The whole black ink on brown paper look is incredibly charming and rustic. And the wonderful thing is you can recycle the paper once you’re done with it.
The uni-ball PIN is the pros choice. One of the wonderful things about our Black PIN pen nibs is you can work in very delicate fine lines, which is great for illustrations and botanical drawings.

You can work up some vibrant, vivid wrap designs with SIGNO broad pens. The Signo broad rollerball pen simply glides over paper when drawing and writing so they are a breeze to decorate wrapping paper with. Creatives love the way the pens flow, with a consistent, smooth and skip-free line that’s a pleasure to work with, especially on dark surfaces and simple brown paper. A fab pen choice for satisfying crafting session, the Signo Broad’s rubber grip makes mark-making and drawing super comfortable so you won’t resent the wrap update session.
Make the most of your tags
When we want to quickly make pressies more interesting with uni-ball pens we grab our SIGNOs and create a set of gorgeous gift tags.
