BIC Cristal Original Ballpoint Pen, Assorted Ink Colours, 0.32 mm Line Width, Hexagonal Transparent Barrel, Pack of 4 516834

Students and office workers alike reach for the BIC Cristal Original for everyday writing tasks—taking notes, filling forms, or sketching quick ideas. This pack of four pens comes with assorted ink colours: black, blue, red, and green. Each pen writes a fine 0.32 mm line with a 1.0 mm ballpoint, delivering crisp, quick-drying strokes that resist smudging. The hexagonal transparent polystyrene barrel shows the ink level at a glance and prevents the pen from rolling off desks. The ventilated cap and oil-based, non-toxic ink make it a reliable choice for long writing sessions.
