Product Information

Full details

The Bic Round Stic Ballpoint Pen is an essential writing instrument for students, office professionals, and home users who prioritize reliability and simplicity in their daily stationery. Its lightweight, slim-line design offers a comfortable grip for long writing sessions, and the medium 1.0mm point delivers a consistent 0.4mm line. While it is highly functional for standard tasks, users should note that the ink is not intended for archival work or specialized artistic applications, as it is a basic ballpoint formulation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the ink waterproof?

The ink in the Bic Round Stic is a standard ballpoint formulation and is generally not rated as waterproof or fade-resistant.

Can I use these pens for official documents?

While they are suitable for general writing, it is recommended to use archival-grade permanent ink pens for documents that require long-term legal preservation.

Are these pens retractable?

No, the Bic Round Stic utilizes a removable cap design.

What is the tip size?

The pen features a medium 1.0mm point that creates a 0.4mm line width.

Are the barrels recyclable?

The pens are made with 74% recycled materials. Please check with your local municipal guidelines regarding the recyclability of plastic pen casings, as many require disassembly.

Troubleshooting

The pen is not writing smoothly or feels scratchy.

Apply slight pressure and scribble in small circles on a scrap piece of paper to jump-start the ink flow if the pen has been sitting for a long period.

Ink blobs appearing on the paper.

Wipe the nib gently with a tissue. Excess ink can occasionally build up on the tip during prolonged use.

Pen cap is lost or does not stay on.

If the cap is lost, store the pen in a sealed plastic bag or a horizontal desk organizer to keep the nib from coming into contact with air for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pens are ready for immediate use out of the box; no assembly is required. To ensure the longest possible life for your pens:

  1. Cap Storage: Always replace the cap firmly after use. Leaving the tip exposed can lead to ink thickening or drying in the nib.
  2. Storage Position: For optimal flow, store pens horizontally. This prevents ink from pooling at the tip or settling away from the ball point.
  3. Surface Compatibility: These pens perform best on porous surfaces like standard paper. Avoid writing on glossy, plastic, or metallic surfaces as the ballpoint ink will not bond correctly and may smudge.
  4. Temperature: Keep in a temperate environment. Extreme heat can cause the ink to thin or leak, while extreme cold may impede the flow.
