Ballpoint Pen Multi‑Color 4‑Colour BIC 303301 — blue, red, green, black ink, mineral tones barrels, pack of 12

The BIC 4‑colour ballpoint pen model 303301 combines blue, red, green and black inks in a single retractable barrel with mineral‑tone accents in grey, light turquoise and olive green. Designed for everyday writing, note‑taking, editing and colour‑coding, this pack of 12 pens offers a simple slide mechanism to select ink quickly and a compact design that keeps four colours ready without carrying multiple pens.

Advantages

Each pen integrates four standard ballpoint inks in one casing, reducing the need to switch between separate pens. The retractable slide system enables fast, one‑handed selection of colours, while the mineral‑tone barrels provide a neutral, professional appearance. Supplied in a pack of 12, the set is suitable for classrooms, offices or home use where multiple colours are needed regularly. The pens deliver consistent ink flow for note clarity and basic colour‑coding tasks.

Suitable for

• Note‑taking and everyday writing
• Document editing and marking
• Colour‑coding files, planners and calendars
• Classroom supplies and group activities
• Workplaces requiring quick colour changes without extra pens

When it may not be suitable

These ballpoint pens are designed for standard writing and marking; they are not intended for high‑precision technical drawing or fine art where archival, pigment or permanent inks are required. Users who need waterproof, fade‑resistant, or specialty inks should consider alternative pens formulated for those purposes.

Key specifications

• Ink colours: blue, red, green, black
• Pen type: retractable 4‑colour ballpoint
• Barrel design: mineral‑tone finishes with grey, light turquoise and olive green accents
• Pack quantity: 12 pens
• Mechanism: slide selector for choosing ink colour

How to use

Press or slide the desired colour selector into position until it locks; the chosen cartridge extends and is ready to write. To switch colours, retract the active cartridge by pressing its selector and then engage another colour. Store pens capped inside their retracted position to prevent accidental marking and to protect the tips. For consistent performance, write on standard paper surfaces and avoid applying excessive pressure.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: suitable for general writing and colour‑coding, not for archival or art applications
• Ink permanence: standard ballpoint ink; not guaranteed waterproof or lightfast
• Barrel colour preference: mineral‑tone accents provide a neutral aesthetic rather than bright colours
• Pack size: twelve pens per pack — consider quantity needs for personal or group use

Usage recommendations

For reliable everyday results, use the BIC 4‑colour pens on typical office or school paper and switch colours with the slide mechanism rather than forcing cartridges. Keep pens stored retracted when not in use and replace pens when ink flow becomes faint to maintain legible colour‑coded notes.
