Grade 3B: Extra soft and dark; perfect for deep shadows, expressive portraits, and high-contrast tonal work.
Signature Grey Design: The distinctive hexagonal barrel provides an ergonomic grip and prevents rolling on flat surfaces.
◈ Materials and Care ▼
California Cedar Wood: Encased in high-quality wood for easy, clean sharpening that protects the graphite core.
Core Bonding: The lead is fully bonded to the wooden envelope to maximize break resistance, even in softer grades like 3B.
Grit-Free Graphite: Highly purified leads ensure no scratching, allowing for a smooth laydown on all paper types.
☑ Merchandising Tips ▼
The "Step-Up" Pencil: Market these as a professional upgrade from standard yellow office pencils for users who value a better writing feel.
Bundle Opportunity: Encourage customers to buy B, 2B, and 3B together to create a complete starter shading set.
