Pencil Boxe : What is it?

PencilBoxes1

Pencil boxes are used for storing pencils in drawers, desks, or bags. They are usually long, rectangular, and made of light, rigid materials. Unlike pencil cases, pencil boxes hold only pens and pencils and have no smaller compartments. They open from the side or top and may be secured with clasps or buttons.

Plastic pencil boxes

Wooden pencil boxes

  • Wooden pencil boxes are made of thin wood or chipboard.
  • They are heavier and bulkier than plastic pencil boxes, and are easily damaged by ink and moisture.

Cardboard pencil boxes
  • Cardboard pencil boxes are made from stiff coated cardboard or kraft paper.
  • They are lighter than plastic and wood boxes, but they stain and puncture easily.

Choosing Pencil Boxes (Buying Tips)

Durability: Choose a pencil box with a padded bottom to protect the base from punctures. For wood and cardboard boxes, make sure the insides are painted or coated to prevent lead and ink marks.

Design: Choose a pencil box with an attached cover instead of a two-piece design to keep from losing the cap. For sets of colored pens or pencils, Look for one with a high cover or side opening to make it easier to find specific colors.
