How These Pencils are Made

The wood comes from certified sustainable forestry. The coating is environmentally-friendly water-based varnish and therefore contains no solvents.

The lead is protected against breakages with a special glue over the entire lead in the wooden shaft (not just point-gluing).

The high-quality pigment guarantees vibrant colours.
