Our custom branded carpenter pencils definitely met - in fact exceeded - our expectations. In fact, given that the order was placed at a great distance, and from another country, and there was no time to see an actual sample in person before it was produced and shipped to a third-party location, there was admittedly great trepidation in placing the order, knowing that we would only know the day before it was required whether or not it would be of suitable quality for our purposes. I think it is safe to say that upon seeing the finished product we were more than pleased with the quality, look and feel of the pencils and that all of our worry in advance was for naught.
