Ballpoint pen BIC Cristal Pastel, 0.32 mm tip, assorted colors, hexagonal barrel, 5-piece blister (302561)

BIC Cristal Pastel ballpoint pens, 5-piece blister, offer an extra-fine 0.32 mm tip for precise writing and drawing. Each pen has a hexagonal barrel and a matching pastel-coloured cap, with a visible ink reservoir that helps monitor ink level. The pens are designed for everyday use in office, school and home environments and provide a reliable, consistent ink flow suitable for detailed notes and fine-line sketches.

Advantages

The 0.32 mm extra-fine tip delivers clear, accurate lines for handwriting and detailed annotations. The hexagonal barrel provides a comfortable, anti-roll profile that is easy to grip during extended writing sessions. Pastel-coloured caps and barrels allow quick colour identification while maintaining a subtle, professional look. Transparent ink reservoirs make it simple to check remaining ink, and the well-established BIC ink formulation ensures smooth, consistent flow across the life of the pen.

Suitable for

• Precise note-taking and journaling where fine lines are required
• Technical sketches, annotations and detailed drawings
• Office paperwork and forms that need neat, legible writing
• Schoolwork and colouring of small areas with controlled lines
• Everyday personal and professional writing tasks

When it may not be suitable

The extra-fine 0.32 mm tip may not be ideal for users who prefer bold, highly visible strokes or for tasks that require rapid coverage, such as filling large areas of paper or colouring. The small tip also requires a steady hand for consistent results and may feel slower for people accustomed to medium or broad tips.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.32 mm (extra-fine)
• Ink colour: assorted pastel colours
• Barrel shape: hexagonal for anti-roll and grip
• Pack quantity: 5 pens per blister
• Cap: matching pastel-coloured cap on each pen
• Ink reservoir: visible transparent reservoir

How to use

Remove the cap before writing and replace it after use to prevent the tip from drying. Hold the pen at a comfortable angle to allow the extra-fine tip to make consistent contact with the paper; light, steady pressure is sufficient to produce clean lines. For the best results, use on standard paper types such as notebook, copy or printer paper. Store the pens capped and horizontally or tip-up to reduce the risk of leakage or drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Tip thickness: 0.32 mm is extra-fine—choose a larger tip if you prefer bolder lines
• Colour selection: pastel assortment provides subtle tones rather than bright primary colours
• Intended use: suitable for precise work; not optimal for heavy colouring or broad strokes
• Grip preference: hexagonal barrel offers basic grip but no additional soft cushioning

Usage recommendations

Use these BIC Cristal Pastel pens for detailed writing and fine-line drawing. Replace caps after use and store horizontally for longest life. Choose this 5-piece blister if you need a small set of coordinated pastel colours with extra-fine 0.32 mm tips for neat, legible results.
