The 10 Best Pen Organizers

Editor's Notes

May 13, 2020:

If you're wanting further guidance in deciding which of our selections is best for you, it's useful to break down our options by the level of organization they offer and whether or not they are portable.

If you prefer to have your pens highly organized, you're definitely going to want something like the Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir, US Art Supply Multi-Level Rack, or ArtBin Plastic Case. These options provide individualized slots for each of your implements, which is critical if you like to keep things organized by color or stroke thickness since pulling one pen out won't change the position of several others.

However, if you don't mind your pens shifting position as long as you can see them all, you might want to consider the Houtingmaan Rotating Organizer, Marbrasse Multi-Functional Storage Rack, or Marbrasse Mesh Rack. While these don't allow for the same level of regimentation, they offer a lot of storage space and tend to be a little less industrial looking than gridded options, so these might be a better fit for those who care about how their organizer will fit in their space aesthetically.

If you want something mobile, check out the Arteza Carrying Case or the Qianshan Artist Case. Despite their portable form factors, these models don't sacrifice on quality, and even those that were originally searching for a static desk unit may find them to be a great fit for their studio.
