Ballpoint pen BIC Cristal Original, ink colors assorted, 0.32 mm tip, hexagonal transparent barrel

BIC Cristal Original ballpoint pen with a 0.32 mm tip is designed for precise everyday writing. The hexagonal transparent barrel provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip and allows users to monitor ink level. This assorted-color pack includes multiple ink colors suitable for note-taking, form filling and general office or school use, delivering consistent ink flow and clean, defined lines.

Advantages

The 0.32 mm fine tip produces detailed, accurate strokes with minimal bleed on standard paper. The classic hexagonal barrel improves handling during extended writing sessions and prevents pens from rolling off flat surfaces. Transparent construction makes it easy to see remaining ink, while the reliable BIC ballpoint mechanism ensures steady flow and reduced skipping.

Suitable for

• Everyday note-taking and journaling
• Filling forms and writing on lined paper
• Office tasks, meetings and signatures
• Schoolwork, exams and homework
• Color-coding documents and simple sketches

When it may not be suitable

This pen may not be suitable where very thick lines or marker-like coverage are required; its 0.32 mm tip is intended for fine, precise writing rather than bold strokes. It is not designed for use on highly glossy or waterproof substrates where ballpoint ink may take longer to dry or may not adhere optimally.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.32 mm (fine)
• Ink type: oil-based ballpoint ink
• Barrel: hexagonal, transparent plastic
• Ink colors: assorted
• Grip: non-slip hexagonal shape

How to use

Uncap the BIC Cristal Original and apply light, even pressure while writing to achieve consistent ink flow from the 0.32 mm tip. Store pens horizontally or with the tip down for brief periods if continuous use is expected; recap after use to prevent drying. Use on standard office or school papers for optimal performance and allow a moment for ink to dry to avoid smudging on hand or adjacent pages.

What to consider before purchase

• Need for fine 0.32 mm lines versus bolder tips
• Preference for specific ink colors in the assorted pack
• Intended writing surfaces (standard paper recommended)
• Quantity required for office, school or personal use

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the 0.32 mm BIC Cristal Original for detailed note-taking, signing documents and tasks that require legible, compact handwriting. Allow ink to dry briefly on fresh paper and replace pens when ink flow becomes intermittent.
