Which promotional money clip should you choose?
A money clip is one of the few gifts a person carries every day, so the real choice is between a simple clip that lets the logo do the talking and a set that feels like a proper present. For a staff service award or a client thank-you, most buyers are happier with a set, because the gift box and the matching pen or key ring make it look considered.
| Type | In the range | Best for |
| Plain metal clip | The Range Money Clip in nickel-plated metal (25 mm wide, 55 mm high, supplied in a two-part gift box); the Moneyclip Zoom in stainless steel, in chrome, gun and rose gold finishes | Conference gifts, staff milestones, bulk thank-yous |
| Golf clip | Money Clip With Magnetic Ball Marker; Designer Active Magnetic Money Clip; Cutter & Buck Tour Money Clip Set | Golf days, sponsors, club presentations |
| Gift set | Zoom sets that add a ballpoint or rollerball pen, key ring, card holder, luggage tag or travel wallet; the Cerruti 1881 fountain pen and moneyclip set | Executive gifts, VIP clients, onboarding of senior hires |
If you are buying for a mixed audience, pick the plain clip in a neutral finish. Chrome suits nearly everyone, whereas rose gold and gun metal are better kept for a brand whose own colours match. For a wider look at pocket-sized gifts, see our promotional wallets, or choose leather wallets if your recipients carry more cards than cash.
How do you put a logo on a money clip?
On metal, laser engraving is the method we would usually recommend. It cuts the mark into the surface rather than laying ink on top, so it reads as a quiet, permanent finish, and that suits the executive tone of most money clips. The trade-off is that engraving gives one tone set by the metal, so there is no colour and fine detail or small text can fill in. Pad printing is the alternative where a brand colour matters, and it handles the small, flat area well but is limited in colours.
Logo size depends on the face of the clip, which is small, so a simple one-colour mark works far better than a full lockup. Our artwork team confirms the method and logo size on your proof, and vector files give the cleanest result.
Ordering money clips
There's no minimum, so you can order a dozen clips for a leadership team as easily as several hundred for a conference. Each order carries a one-off setup for the logo, which is why the price per item falls noticeably from around ten units. We send a free digital proof before anything is made, and nothing goes into production until you approve it. Some stocked orders can be ready the same day, and your quote confirms timing and the branded price. For Christmas gifts, book early, because production slots fill from September.
Who buys promotional money clips?
- Corporate gifts. A finance firm thanking its top clients gets a gift that sits in a pocket or desk drawer for years, and the owner sees the logo each time cash or cards come out.
- Golf days. A clip with a magnetic ball marker is used on every round, in front of playing partners, which makes it a better prize or sponsor gift than another sleeve of balls. See our golf accessories for what to pair it with.
- Staff recognition. A set with a pen marks a five or ten year anniversary far better than a voucher, and our employee gifts and executive gifts pages show more ideas at that level.
If you are putting together welcome packs or client hampers, our kitting service can pack a clip with other items, and a branded pen or metal keyring is the obvious companion.
