The 2.4mm lead used is longer lasting and provides an excellent image. Paper pencils do not contain chemical agents harmful to the body. The attractive design comes in several pastel covers. Pencil bodies can be custom-embossed with your logo or message. Attractive bulk packaging is ideal for corporate gifts and giveaways. ( Watch Video) 1/14/2010 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
