The eco-friendly, Green Feel Paper Pencil prevents environmental degradation by relying on recycled paper rather than wood for production. They are softer than wood and sharpen much more easily. Slippage caused by hand perspiration is much less than with wood pencils due to the absorption properties of the paper pencil body. 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.
