Wooden, Mechanical or Colored

The classic hexagonal No. 2 wooden pencil with a pink eraser is the standard and the lowest priced. Round pencils and triangular pencils for young hands are the alternatives. Barrels come in natural wood, yellow and dozens of painted colors, and the imprint is a one-color foil or ink along the barrel. Pre-sharpened pencils save a step for schools and events.

A mechanical pencil never needs sharpening and suits offices, engineers and students. Plastic mechanical pencils with a 0.7 mm lead are the economical choice, and metal mechanical pencils with a gift box are the executive version. Many pair with a matching pen in a set; see custom pen sets.

Colored pencil sets of six to twelve in a printed box, tube or ruler box are the favorite for schools, kids events, restaurants and museums. The box carries the logo in full color and the pencils inside are standard colors. Small sets of four to six fit a kids menu or a goody bag.

Golf, Carpenter and Bent Pencils

Golf pencils are 3.5 inches with no eraser and are ordered by the thousand for scorecards and voting. Carpenter pencils are flat so they do not roll off a beam and print a contractor's logo for the hardware counter; custom construction pencils and custom contractor pencils are the same flat pencil under other names. Bent pencils, shaped into a heart, a flamingo, a clover or an antenna, are the novelty pencil that gets a laugh at a school or a dental office and are one of the biggest groups in this range. Mood pencils change color with the heat of the hand, and sharpeners and erasers with a logo complete a school kit.

Pencils for Students and Schools

Customized pencils for students are the school order: a No. 2 pencil in the school color with the school name along the barrel, pre-sharpened, by the gross. Libraries and reading programs add a slogan. Test-ready No. 2 pencils are what proctors ask for, and a box of them with the district logo is a standard back-to-school order. Pair them with custom highlighters for a study kit.

Imprint and Ordering

The imprint runs along the barrel in an area about 2 inches long and a quarter inch tall, so a school name, a phone number or a short slogan reads best. Foil imprints in gold and silver suit dark barrels, and ink imprints suit natural and light barrels. Full color is available on some barrels and on colored pencil boxes. Custom made pencils are imprinted to order, so check the spelling on the proof before production.

Bulk and Wholesale Pricing

Pencils are priced by quantity tier, and the price per pencil drops at each tier, so a school year's supply is far less per piece than a single event order. Wooden pencils with a one-color imprint are the lowest priced item on this page and start under $0.30 each in bulk. Buyers looking for low-cost custom pencils in bulk or at wholesale pricing should choose a stock barrel color and a one-color imprint. The product page shows the tiers, and styles that are quoted individually show a quote form instead of a price.
