Description
Twenty charcoal sticks in a lidded paper tube printed with a grey ink-wash landscape. What sets these apart from the usual round charcoal is the section: every stick is cut square, so it has four flat faces, four long edges and two square ends, and each of those does something different on the paper.
A round stick gives you one mark that changes only with pressure. A square one gives three. Drawn on a corner it lays a fine, hard line for branches, railings and the edge of a roof. Turned onto a flat face it puts down a band of even tone as wide as the stick. Rocked between the two you get a stroke that swells and thins in a single pass, which is how a tree trunk or a fold of cloth is drawn without ever lifting the hand.
The square end is the third tool, and it is the one people miss. Pressed flat against the sheet it stamps a small clean rectangle, which is exactly what a distant window, a brick or a fence post wants. As the end wears round, snapping the stick restores it.
Twenty sticks is a working quantity rather than a sample. That matters with charcoal more than with most media, because sticks are used up quickly, they break, and a drawing that needs a black background can consume a whole stick in one sitting. A class or a student working through a term is the buyer here, not someone trying charcoal for the first time.
Compared with the willow sticks on this site, these are the darker and firmer half of a charcoal box. Willow lifts off almost completely and is what you build a drawing in; a firmer square stick puts the weight in and stays where it is put. Most people who draw seriously in charcoal keep both, and use the willow first.
The tube itself is a real advantage. Charcoal sticks kept loose in a bag break into unusable fragments, and the tube keeps them upright and separated, which is why a paper tube is worth more here than better packaging usually is.
The Safencia price is Rs. 820 for the tube of twenty. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, and stock, your city and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.

FAQs
How many charcoal sticks are in the tube?
Twenty. The Square Charcoal Sticks tube is sold as a 20-piece pack; the paper tube itself carries no printed count, so if an exact number matters for a class order tell us on WhatsApp and we will count the tube before it is dispatched.
Why are these sticks square instead of round?
Because a square section does three jobs. Square Charcoal Sticks draw a fine line on a corner, a wide even band on a flat face, and a swelling stroke when rocked between the two.
What is the square end used for?
Stamping. Pressing the flat end of a Square Charcoal Sticks piece onto the sheet prints a small clean rectangle, which is the quickest way to put in distant windows, bricks or posts.
How do these compare with willow charcoal sticks?
Willow is softer and lifts off almost completely, so it is what a drawing is built in. Square Charcoal Sticks are firmer, put more weight down and stay where they are placed, so they come later in the same drawing.
Do the sticks break easily?
Charcoal of any kind snaps under side pressure, which is why these come in a tube. A broken Square Charcoal Sticks piece is not wasted, though — a shorter stick is easier to control on its face.
What paper works best with them?
Paper with tooth, such as cartridge or sketch paper. On smooth copier paper the flat face of a Square Charcoal Sticks piece skates and the tone stays pale however hard you press.
How do I stop the drawing smudging?
Keep a spare sheet under your drawing hand, work from the top of the sheet downward, and lay clean paper or spray a fixative over a finished piece before it is stored or carried.
What age is charcoal suitable for?
About eight years and up with a covered table. Charcoal transfers readily to hands, clothes and furniture, so an apron is worth having whatever the age.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Square Charcoal Sticks in Pakistan?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and many other cities.
How fast is delivery in Pakistan?
Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities, depending on courier route and city.
