How To Custom Color Pencils

When ordering custom color pencils, there are several important factors to consider to ensure you get the perfect product for your needs.

Choosing the Right Pencil Shape and Size

First, decide on the shape of the pencils: round or hexagonal. Round pencils are comfortable to grip and ideal for smooth, continuous drawing. Hexagonal pencils, on the other hand, prevent rolling and provide a better grip, especially useful for detailed work. You also need to choose the pencil size. Standard 7-inch pencils are great for regular use, while 3.5-inch pencils are more portable.

Selecting Lead Thickness and Color Options

The thickness of the lead affects the precision and coverage of your drawing. You can choose from 2.6mm, 2.8mm, 3.0mm, or 4.0mm leads. Additionally, decide on the number of colors you need: options include 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 colors. More colors offer a broader palette for creativity and detailed artwork.

Material Choices

The material of the pencil impacts its durability, weight, and overall feel. Options include poplar, basswood, soft wood, natural wood, and black wood. Each type of wood provides a unique balance of durability and aesthetic appeal.

Customizing Pencil Color and Logo

For branding and promotional purposes, you can customize the pencil color using the Pantone color system, ensuring consistent and accurate color matching. Logo customization is also available in one color printing or full color printing. Keep in mind the size restrictions: for text-only and one color printing, the logo should be no more than 7 cm in length and 5.5 mm in height; for full color printing, it should be no more than 12 cm in length and 4.8 mm in height.

Choosing Packaging

Select the packaging that best suits your presentation and protection needs. Options include color box, PVC, polybag, iron box, and paper tube. The right packaging not only protects the pencils but also enhances their appeal as a promotional gift or retail product.

Functionality and Usage

Consider how the pencils will be used. Whether for office stationery, promotional gifts, drawing, advertising, or other purposes, make sure your customized pencils meet the specific needs of your target audience.

By carefully considering these factors, you can ensure that your custom color pencils are tailored to your exact specifications and serve their intended purpose effectively.
