For a birthday, for a celebration or for memorialising a significant date, offer Swiss Made excellence with a unique, personalised pen. Engrave a pen from the prestigious Haute Écriture collection. Or design a 100%-customisable 849 ballpoint. Either way, Caran d'Ache will make your special moment unforgettable.

Make your gift unique through engraving

Each writing instrument created in our Geneva workshop is distinctive, as is each of our customers. So Caran d'Ache offers the option to add a personalised engraving to your favourite pen or mechanical pencil. With the date, a name or initials, put your finishing touch on an eligible pen in the Varius, Léman or Ecridor range.
How will you know if a pen or pencil can be engraved? The words ‘engravable' or ‘add an engraving' will appear on its product page.

How to add an engraving to my writing instrument

1. Select a writing instrument, making sure it is compatible with engraving. From colourful ballpoint pens, to elegant fountain pens or rollerballs with dynamic curves, Caran d'Ache has a wide selection of writing instruments compatible with your needs.


2. Select a typeface you like.


3. Enter your text directly on our website. Depending on the typeface, the number of characters available to you may vary.
