When the BIC brand introduced the BIC Cristal ballpoint pen in 1950, it revolutionised the way we write by creating a winning trio: a point, a perfectly spherical ball, and premium ink made in BIC's own plants. Since then, it has never stopped innovating to maximise the performance of its pens. For the BIC Cristal Soft pen, BIC developed the Easy Glide ink system that makes writing up to 35% smoother than regular BIC ballpoint pens. The winning hexagonal design is a brand icon. This box contains 50 black pens with caps and end plugs to match the ink. BIC manufactures these pens at its own plants in Europe relying on unmatched expertise that has been passed down the generations.
