Ballpoint pens are a must for schools, offices and just about any kind of workplace. This is where you'll find a great selection of ballpoint pens in either capped or retractable designs, and you can choose the quantities you need--from a single one to a bulk order of dozens.
Ballpoint Pens Are Versatile
Think about all the times you've used a ballpoint pen and how many different ways you've used it. Memos, sticky notes, reminders to yourself, filling out forms, grading papers, the list goes on and on. They're neat and convenient, and students will find the Easy Glide design especially handy when they have to do a lot of work with a ballpoint pen.
The Right Pen For The Right Job
A medium point tip can draw a line that's about 1 mm wide, making it a good choice for most tasks where there's a lot of writing or drawing to be done. A fine point ballpoint pen has about a 0.7 mm line for finer work and legible handwriting, while a wide point can produce a bold 1.6 mm line, making it a good choice for official documents. The smart move is to have a variety of different styles and assorted colors of ballpoint pens on hand.
Choose from A Variety Of Colors
You don't have to stick with plain, boring blue or black ballpoint pens. At Staples, you'll find a selection of colors like magenta, lime, orange, turquoise and many more. Shop red ballpoint pens if you have editing or grading to do. You'll also find pens from top brands like Bic, Pentel, Paper Mate, Pilot and others, in designs that are comfortable for long writing sessions and with ink reservoirs that can last for months of use.
FAQ
Are ballpoint pens erasable?
Most ballpoint pens are not erasable because they use oil-based ink that adheres permanently to paper. However, there are some pen brands that offer erasable ballpoint pens, which have a special type of ink that can be erased with friction or heat.
Can ballpoint pens dry out?
Yes, ballpoint pens can dry out if the ink is exposed to air for too long. This can happen if the pen is left uncapped or the ink is low and the ball at the tip is not fully covered by the ink. To prevent this, make sure to cap your pens after use.
Why do ballpoint pens stop working?
Ballpoint pens may stop working for several reasons. Ink can dry at the tip, blocking the flow, or the ball at the tip can get jammed. Sometimes, when the ink is low or the pen has been dropped, it may cause disruptions in ink flow. Scribbling on a scrap piece of paper can help get the ink flowing again.
Can ball point pens be used on airplanes?
Yes, ball point pens can generally be used on airplanes. They are designed to withstand changes in pressure, which makes them reliable when you are flying. Unlike fountain pens, they are less likely to leak due to the pressure changes experienced during a flight.
