Staedtler Noris 72 pencil jar — Staedtler Köcher Bleistift NORIX 72 PEFC certified graphite pencils

Set of 72 Staedtler Noris graphite pencils supplied in a reusable jar. The Staedtler Noris pencil is a hexagonal, break-resistant graphite pencil with HB core hardness commonly used for writing, drawing and sketching. This bundle is PEFC certified, indicating the wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests. The included jar (Köcher) keeps pencils organized and can be reused for storage.

Advantages

The set offers a large quantity of uniformly produced pencils ideal for shared environments such as classrooms or offices. Hexagonal shafts provide a comfortable grip and reduce rolling, while the break-resistant graphite improves durability during regular use. Supplied in a reusable jar, the packaging supports easy access and tidy storage.

Suitable for

• School classrooms and art lessons
• Office desks and administrative tasks
• Everyday sketching and quick drafts
• Bulk supply for studios, workshops or shared spaces

When it may not be suitable

This set contains standard HB graphite pencils intended for general-purpose use; it may not be suitable for specialised artistic techniques that require a wider range of hardnesses (for example, very soft or very hard leads). It also does not include sharpeners, erasers, or ergonomic grips that some users may prefer.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 72 pencils in a single reusable jar
• Core hardness: HB (general-purpose graphite)
• Barrel shape: hexagonal for stable grip
• Lead property: break-resistant formulation
• Certification: PEFC — wood from sustainably managed forests
• Packaging: reusable jar for storage and transport

How to use

Select a pencil from the jar and sharpen using a suitable sharpener or mechanical sharpener. Use the HB lead for writing, note-taking, drafting and sketching; apply different pressures to produce lighter or darker strokes. Store unused pencils in the supplied jar to keep them protected and organised. When the lead breaks, re-sharpen and resume use.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that HB hardness meets your needs; artists may require softer (B) or harder (H) pencils.
• Sharpeners and erasers are not included and may need to be purchased separately.
• Consider whether a large-bulk jar suits your storage and distribution needs in classroom or office settings.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, keep a medium sharp point for general writing and a slightly blunter tip for shading. Rotate among pencils from the jar to maintain even wear, and store the jar in a dry place to protect the wooden shafts.
