Product specification brief

Pre-grooved pencil slat specification brief

A pre-grooved slat quotation becomes comparable only when the board, groove, core-fit, conditioning, packing, and release controls are recorded against the same downstream production route.

Reviewed:

Board reference

Common slat references include 184 × 71 × 5 mm or 6.3 mm. Final dimensions and tolerances are confirmed from the buyer's drawing, equipment, and approved reference sample.

Groove and core fit

Confirm groove count, geometry, spacing, core diameter, graphite or color route, and the downstream core-placement and pressing process.

Wood and conditioning

Record poplar or linden, grade, moisture acceptance method, and any softening, waxing, carbonization, or other required treatment.

Release controls

Approve the reference sample, packing, inspection points, batch identification, delivery term, and destination before production release.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before quoting.

Are grooved slats suitable for graphite and color pencils?

Groove geometry is matched to the agreed graphite or colored core dimensions. Confirm the core type and fit with the product specification and approved sample.

Can grooved slats reduce downstream production time?

Yes. Prepared grooves help downstream factories move faster into core placement and pressing.

What information is required to quote grooved pencil slats?

Provide the board dimensions and tolerance, groove count and geometry, core diameter, wood species, moisture or treatment requirement, quantity, packing, downstream equipment, destination, inspection criteria, and delivery term.

What are the sample and production planning ranges for grooved pencil slats?

Shanhai typically plans 10–15 days for the defined grooved-slat sample route and 25–45 days for mass production after the board, groove, core-fit, wood, treatment, quantity, packing, destination, inspection, approved reference, and commercial release inputs are complete. The quotation controls the exact start trigger and schedule.

Does Shanhai supply grooved pencil slats from China?

Yes. Shanhai supplies grooved poplar and linden pencil slats from its Luoyang production route for downstream graphite and colored pencil factories.

How should downstream factories compare grooved pencil slat suppliers?

Use the same board, groove, core-fit, conditioning, packing, inspection, quantity, destination, and delivery specification, then verify the supplier's production scope, sample route, quality controls, documents, and comparable landed cost.

Does the finished-pencil MOQ apply to this material stage?

Order quantities and packing for pencil slats, boards, and unfinished pencil bodies are agreed separately by specification. Provide the product stage, dimensions, material or core specification, quantity, packing, destination, and trial requirements for a material-specific quotation.
