Custom Branded & Promotional Pencils

Understanding Pencil Types

Choosing the right pencil begins with understanding the various types available. Pencils are typically categorized into two main types: standard and specialty. Standard pencils, like the classic wooden pencil, are ideal for everyday writing or drawing, while specialty pencils, such as the Flower Seed Pencil, offer unique features such as plantable paper. Knowing the differences can help you select a pencil that aligns with your needs.

Consider the Hardness Scale

Pencils are graded based on their hardness, which affects the darkness of the mark they make. Ranging from the softest (B grades) to the hardest (H grades), the grading system influences the writing experience. For soft, dark lines, choose pencils marked with a 'B'. Conversely, if you require lighter, finer lines, opt for 'H' grades. A pencil that meets your preference for hardness will enhance your writing or drawing experience.

Special Features of Pencils

Different pencils come with various features that cater to specific needs. Some, like the STOMP SHARP, are designed for durability and precision, while others, such as the PETIT COLORET, may offer a selection of colours for artistic projects. Consider what features are most important for your intended use, whether it’s for artistic expression, technical drawing, or everyday writing.

Choosing Based on Brand and Price

Brand reputation can also play a significant role in pencil selection. Brands like Corporate Gifting Warehouse, Okiyo, and Altitude offer a range of quality pencils. Prices in this category can vary from R2 to R125, making it essential to consider your budget while also factoring in the quality associated with each brand. Investing a bit more in a trusted brand can ensure a better writing or drawing experience.
