TRU RED™ Retractable Pens

Pens are a regular supply for homes, schools, and businesses. Keep TRU RED™ retractable pens nearby for signing documents, making notes, or for customers to use. Staples® carries these writing tools in a variety of colors, with fine and medium points, and with gel or ballpoint ink. 

Pick TRU RED Retractable Pens by Point Size
These pens come in 0.7mm and 1.0mm sizes. For tasks that involve tiny or intricate writing or drawing consider the 0.7mm, which allows users to write small numbers and letters or include readable content in appointment calendar blocks. Fine point tools are also useful when creating notations such as Chinese characters that require highly detailed pen strokes for readers to identify. The narrow tip makes it easier to write without overcrowding the text. For everyday tasks, such as office sign-up sheets or completing sales forms, use a medium point tool. 

Benefits of TRU RED Retractable Gel Pens
Gel writing implements use water-based ink that leaves smooth-flowing, bold lines for a professional appearance, and the ink’s quick-drying formula reduces smudges. Pens with gel ink produce a brighter text, making them an ideal choice when writing on dark-colored paper. These bold-look and quick-drying gel pens are an excellent option for book signings and similar inscriptions.    

Why Choose Retractable Pens?
Retractable writing tools are easy to store. Keep them in your desk, pocket, purse, and backpack using the retracting feature and avoid unsightly pen marks that may occur when you store pens without a protective cap. Use the clip at the top to attach it to a notebook or calendar.

What Are the Advantages of Ballpoint Pens?
There are quick-drying gel and ballpoint TRU RED pens. Ballpoint styles offer smooth strokes, and the ink won’t bleed through the paper or run. These use an alcohol-based solvent that helps the ink dry faster than most gel and rollerball styles. 

Do TRU RED Pens Use Acid-free Ink?
These pens use acid-free ink and are safe for photo and archival work. When stored properly, documents written or drawn with acid-free ink can last for decades without fading or turning yellow. 

Are TRU RED Pens Available in Different Ink Colors?
Yes, they come in a variety of colors including black, blue, green, purple, orange, and red. Choose a multipack of assorted shades for colorful classroom or office projects, or opt for bulk packs of red, blue, or black pens to keep supply closets stocked. The barrel casings match the color of ink in each pen.
