Young British students are being encouraged to keep their loved ones firmly in mind, thanks to a heart warming initiative by pen manufacturer uni-ball.

The company is celebrating the arrival of its new high-tech uni-ball Vision RT pen by giving young travellers one to take with them to send regular postcards back home.

Ideal for students about to embark on a gap year, Vision RT delivers a smart, dependable and smooth writing instrument that will not leak whilst airborne thanks to its airplane-safe technology.

The pen also features uni Super ink - a unique pigment ink with outstanding levels of protection - meaning their handwritten notes will be secured as they put pen to postcard.

Stuart Barker, marketing manager at uni-ball said: "We wanted to target aspiring young students and professionals with the Vision RT, because in an unpredictable world, it is a pen they can rely on.

"We want to resurrect the art of handwriting.  People really appreciate a handwritten note, letter or postcard so much more than any form of electronic communication.  Young travellers will surely give their parents a lift by putting pen to paper."

Students can apply for their free Vision RT pack of Postcards with Vision by emailing postcards@connect-group.com.  There are 200 up for grabs and will be issued on a first come, first served basis.
