Product Information
Full details
The Eastpak Benchmark Single is an ideal choice for students, professionals, and artists who need a reliable, no-frills solution for organizing everyday writing instruments. Its primary benefit is its rugged, minimalist construction that withstands the rigors of a daily commute or school schedule, though it lacks specialized internal organizational pockets or compartments for smaller items like paperclips or sharpeners.

FAQs
Is the Eastpak Benchmark Single machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash or spot clean the pouch to preserve the integrity of the fabric and zipper mechanism.
Can this case fit a standard 15cm ruler?
Yes, the internal dimensions are designed to accommodate standard school stationery, including most 15cm rulers.
Does the case have internal slots for individual pens?
No, the Benchmark Single features a single, open compartment design.
What is the warranty coverage for this case?
Eastpak products are known for their high quality; please refer to the specific warranty card included with your purchase or the manufacturer's website for terms.
Can I use this for items other than pens?
Absolutely. It is frequently used for tech accessories like charging cables, USB drives, or even travel-sized cosmetics.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Ensure no fabric or loose pencil tips are caught in the zipper track. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Internal lining has become dirty from ink stains
Gently wipe the interior lining with a damp cloth and a small amount of detergent. Avoid saturating the fabric and allow it to dry fully in a ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Benchmark Single, simply unzip the main closure and arrange your stationery inside. The case is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. Because the exterior is made of durable fabric, it is highly compatible with most standard backpack front-pockets or laptop bag organizers. For care, keep the case away from sharp objects that might puncture the fabric. If the case becomes soiled, you can spot-clean the exterior using a damp cloth and mild soap; ensure the item is completely air-dried before storing pens inside to prevent moisture buildup.
