Erasable colored pencils

Catalogue page 12. Name the paper, eraser and acceptable remaining marks. Erasability is a sample acceptance requirement; the catalogue label is not a guarantee of complete removal.

Procurement inputs

  • Separate school, early-learning, hobby, and art-grade performance requirements

Wholesale set quantities

Translate cartons into colored-pencil sets.

For planning, divide 2,880 pencils per carton by the number of pencils in each set. These are pencil-count equivalents; actual retail packs, accessories, carton dimensions and packing layout must be agreed in the quotation.

12-pencil sets

2,880 ÷ 12 = 240 set equivalents per carton. A standard 100-carton style contains 288,000 pencils, equal to 24,000 twelve-pencil sets.

24-pencil sets

2,880 ÷ 24 = 120 set equivalents per carton. A standard 100-carton style is equal to 12,000 twenty-four-pencil sets.

36-pencil sets

2,880 ÷ 36 = 80 set equivalents per carton. A standard 100-carton style is equal to 8,000 thirty-six-pencil sets.

Agree the assortment

Specify the actual color list and pencil count. An art-kit piece count may include accessories. Mixed finished-pencil orders must exceed 300 cartons in total, with at least 50 cartons per style.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before quoting.

What is the minimum order for finished pencils?

Finished pencils: 100 cartons per style, with 2,880 pencils per carton (288,000 pencils per style). For mixed orders totaling more than 300 cartons, the minimum is 50 cartons per style (144,000 pencils). An order totaling exactly 300 cartons does not qualify for this exception.

Can colored pencil set counts and packaging be customized?

Yes. Color count, set configuration, box or tube route, carton, and private-label presentation can be confirmed for the buyer's channel.

Are school and art colored pencils quoted the same way?

Not automatically. Core expectations, color count, user group, finish, testing, inspection, and packaging should be compared on the same specification.

Does Shanhai support OEM and ODM colored pencil programs?

Yes. OEM follows a buyer-defined colored pencil and packaging specification. ODM adapts proven pencil constructions, color counts, finishes, set formats, and packaging routes to the buyer's market brief before sample approval.

What are the sample and production planning ranges for colored pencils?

Shanhai typically plans 10–15 days for a defined colored-pencil sample and 25–45 days for mass production after the color list, core and body specification, finish, artwork, set format, packaging, quantity, destination, testing or inspection requests, approved reference, and commercial release inputs are complete. The quotation confirms the exact schedule.

Can Shanhai export private-label colored pencils worldwide?

Yes. Shanhai supports private-label colored pencil inquiries across all inhabited continents, with color count, core, finish, packaging, testing, documentation, and delivery terms confirmed for each destination and order.

Which colored pencil set count should a wholesale buyer choose?

Choose 12 colors for a compact value range, 24 for broader everyday creative use, and 36 for an expanded assortment. Compare the same color list, core specification, packaging, carton, testing, quantity, and destination before deciding.

How should wholesale buyers compare colored pencil manufacturers?

Compare the same user group, color list, core and sharpening reference, body, set count, packaging, sample, inspection, testing, quantity, destination, and delivery term. Use verified factory evidence and critical-risk checks alongside the comparable quotation.

Can I mix styles in a production order?

For mixed orders totaling more than 300 cartons, the minimum is 50 cartons per style (144,000 pencils). An order totaling exactly 300 cartons does not qualify for this exception. Send the carton quantity for each style and the total order quantity. Mixing styles in an order does not automatically mean mixing styles inside each carton; packing is agreed separately.

How many colored-pencil sets are in a 100-carton order?

At 2,880 pencils per carton, 100 cartons contain 288,000 pencils per style: 24,000 set equivalents of 12 pencils, 12,000 of 24 pencils, or 8,000 of 36 pencils. These are quantity calculations, not confirmed carton layouts. Agree the color list, retail pack, accessories, carton dimensions and packing with the quotation.
