Schneider won the Promotional Gift Award 2021
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One more time it has made it! The Schneider Reco ballpoint pen is a popular
performer and was once again able to convince a jury of its merits. This time it
was the jury of the Promotional Gift Award. The Promotional Gift Award is one of
the most prestigious European awards for promotional products. Among 164
submitted products by 130 companies, the Reco ballpoint pen scored points with
its innovative design, elegant matte shimmering surface and diverse colour
spectrum. Another highlight: Reco is the first ballpoint pen to be awarded the
world's best-known environmental label, the "Blue Angel". Schneider is
particularly proud of this, because the Blue Angel regulations pose a particular
challenge for ballpoint pens. The Reco retractable ballpoint pen is manufactured
in an environmentally friendly and resource-friendly manner at the
EMAS-certified Schneider production site in southern Germany. Its housing is
made of 92% recycled material. The proportion of recycled material has been
confirmed by an independent testing institute. The source of raw materials and
thus the 100% use of post-consumer recycled material was also verified by the
European certification company EuCertPlast.

 Not only is the barrel of the pen made from recycled plastic, but also the
refill. The replaceable Eco 725 M large-capacity refill provides a pleasantly
light and gliding writing experience and leaves a clean handwriting impression.
Its wear-resistant stainless steel tip ensures a long service life. The ink is
document-proof according to ISO 12757-2 and available in the writing colours
blue and black.

The special feature for advertisers: For an environmentally conscious
advertising message, Schneider can now provide Blue Angel-compliant finishing
using pad printing. For this purpose, the ballpoint pen offers generous printing
areas in seven different positions. There is also a choice of two different clip
types: a printable smooth clip and a grooved variant.
