Detectamet recommend that all our detectable products are tested in the food factory/processing environment that they will be used. We want to help you make your processing environment the safest & most compliant it can be. To support this, we're pleased to provide samples for the vast majority of our Detectable Products.

Why it’s cost-effective
- Low unit cost in bulk: supplied in packs of 25 or 50 so you can stock lines and audit kits without overspending.
- Refill, don’t replace: the housing accepts fully metal & x-ray detectable one-piece refills, sold in 100-packs to drive the cost per write even lower and cut plastic waste.
- Fewer SKUs to manage: one pen body + one refill family covers everyday writing across production, QA and engineering.
Built for food factory use
- Metal detectable & x-ray visible components support inline detection and foreign-body control programs
- Ergonomic, grippy barrel for gloved hands, with a blue housing that’s easy to spot if dropped. End cap matches ink colour for quick identification.
- Ink options: standard ink in blue, black, red, or green to fit colour-coding SOPs.
Good to know
- Refill compatibility: choose Fully Detectable Economy Pen Refills (one-piece, approx. 9,400 m write-out) to extend service life and maintain full detectability. Sold in 100-packs.
- As with all detectable items, verify performance on your own lines (detector settings, product effect, etc.) before site-wide rollout.
