Hub's Pure pens have an EPA-approved antimicrobial additive molded into the plastic parts, which is why they are popular at front counters in banks, clinics and offices where one pen passes through many hands. BrandedItems, an authorized Hub Pens distributor, lists them with decorated pricing.

What the antimicrobial additive does and does not do

The additive protects the pen's own surface against microbial growth. It does not disinfect hands and does not replace cleaning, so a shared counter pen still needs the same wiping as everything else on the counter.

Pure models

The Javalina Pure Classic and Javalina Pure Stylus are plastic click pens from 250 pieces, the MaxGlide Pure adds hybrid ink, and the Confetti Pure and Gemini Pure are metal pens from 100 pieces.

Frequently asked questions

Is an antimicrobial pen the same as a pen that kills germs?

No. It means the material resists growth of microbes on the pen itself. It is not a health or medical claim.
