Felt pen Staedtler 323 C10 — assorted colours, 10 colours, 1 mm tip

Staedtler 323 C10 felt pen set contains 10 assorted writing colours with an approximate 1.0 mm line width. Each fibre-tip pen has an ergonomic triangular barrel made from 97% recycled plastic and a ventilated cap that meets safety standards. The water-based ink is formulated for writing, sketching and colouring, washes out of most textiles and the pens feature a pressure-resistant tip and DRY SAFE performance for short periods left uncapped.

Advantages

The set delivers consistent, precise lines thanks to a stable fibre tip with approximately 1.0 mm line width and an ergonomic triangular shape that supports relaxed handling. Water-based ink provides easy washing from most fabrics and the DRY SAFE characteristic allows temporary uncapped storage without immediate drying. A PP barrel increases durability while the ventilated cap conforms to ISO and BS safety standards.

Suitable for

• Schoolwork and classroom activities — writing, colouring and drawing
• Office notes, annotations and colour-coding
• Hobby and craft projects requiring precise, consistent lines
• Sketching and diagram work where a 1 mm line is preferred

When it may not be suitable

These fibre-tip pens use water-based ink and are designed for general-purpose writing, colouring and sketching; they are not intended for archival, waterproof or permanent marking on non-porous surfaces. For very thick paper, heavy ink coverage or highly detailed technical drawing requiring finer than 1.0 mm lines, a different tip size or pen type may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Number of colours: 10 assorted colours
• Line width: approx. 1.0 mm
• Tip type: fibre-tip (stable, pressure-resistant)
• Barrel shape: ergonomic triangular for comfortable grip
• Ink type: water-based, washable from most textiles
• Cap: ventilated cap conforming to ISO and BS safety standards
• Housing material: polypropylene with 97% recycled plastic content
• Packaging: hanging/stand-up cardboard box containing 10 pens

How to use

Hold the triangular barrel between thumb and fingers for a stable grip and apply light to moderate pressure to obtain consistent 1.0 mm lines. Use for writing, outlining, colouring and sketching on standard paper; allow ink to dry briefly to avoid smudging. Replace the cap after use to preserve tip condition, although the DRY SAFE feature allows pens to be left uncapped for short periods without immediate drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: general writing, colouring and sketching rather than archival or permanent marking
• Line width: approx. 1.0 mm — ensure this suits your detail level
• Ink behaviour: water-based and washable from most textiles
• Material preference: barrel composed largely of recycled plastic

Recommendations

For best results, use on smooth, standard-weight paper and cap pens after use to prolong tip life. Combine colours from this 10-colour set to create clear annotations, colour-coding schemes or layered sketches; pair with other Staedtler products designed for mixing if broader colour options are needed.
