Long-lasting and refillable mechanical pencils
Refillable pencils feature tough barrels that can last for years. Some are metallic and help create a classy feel while others come with colorful and robust plastic barrels. Consider packs with writing instruments of different colors for offices or schools so that users can choose colors they like.
Pencils come with various barrels styles. Some are round to offer a natural grip for optimal accuracy whether writing or drawing. Other options feature rubber handles so users can create precise works of art and write neatly. Textured grips on select options help reduce slip.
Choosing lead sizes and density
Lead comes in different grades. Grade 4 is dense, so it draws subtle lines and writes light text. Artists can use these to create gentle shades and transitions. Engineers can also use them when drawing plans to differentiate elements of their designs. Grade 3 lead has the second-highest level of density and is suitable for select art and design applications. Grade 2 lead is the most suitable for regular writing because it leaves moderately bold lines and easy-to-read text. Grade 1 lead is soft, so it leaves bold, dark lines and text. It is useful for both writing and drawing. Lead in pencils also come in various thicknesses such as:
- 0.9mm and 0.7mm, which creates visible text and thick lines
- 0.5mm to create fine lines and text
- 0.3mm to draw super-fine lines, for instance when drafting, and to jot down faint text
You can use pencils with other drawing and writing supplies such as pens, markers, and crayons in arts and crafts projects to create or portray different objects.
Bulk pencils for schools and organizations
Options that come with erasers help artists and engineers create accurate pieces and students correct mistakes. Businesses and learning institutions can buy them in large packs that have more than a dozen pieces each. Smaller packs of less than 10 pieces are suitable for individuals. Find other office and school supplies such as wood pencils, crayons, and pens at Quill.
