What Hub's names mean

Comfort: a rubberized soft-touch barrel. Pure: an antimicrobial additive in the plastic. Revive, Upcycle and Eco: recycled or eco-friendly materials. Stylus or Touch: a touchscreen tip on the end. Torch, Lumi, Bright or Illuminated: a built-in light. Cambridge Collection: Hub's executive line with a lifetime guarantee on the mechanical parts.

Models in the same line usually keep their shape and imprint area across finishes, so you can compare a Javalina Classic and a Javalina Jewel knowing the logo will fit the same way.

Hub's decoration terms

Silk screen is a one-color print, the standard on plastic pens. Full Color and Full Color Digital print a multi-color logo on the barrel. Infinity Print is a 360° full-color print around the barrel, offered on white pens. Laser engraving is the standard on metal pens; Revolution Engraving turns the pen during engraving for a taller logo around the barrel, and Expanded Engraving gives a taller engraving area.

Click, twist, clip or cap

Most Hub pens are retractable click pens. Some, such as the Valet, Carbonite, Amesbury and Guillox ballpoints, open with a twist; a few, such as the Eco Orbit Stylus, retract with the clip; and most triple-function pens and the rollerballs have a pull cap.
