Description

Cretacolor prints straight onto the eraser. Brevillier's Cretacolor, Caramel, Fine Art Gum 433 and the barcode all sit on the block itself rather than on a paper sleeve, so there is nothing to lose — though the printing does go as the eraser wears down.

The colour is the giveaway. Where most erasers are white or grey, this one is a warm caramel: the traditional look of an art gum block, and the reason it is easy to find in a case otherwise full of white plastic.

It is a correcting eraser rather than a lifting one. Cretacolor's kneaded eraser is pressed onto a drawing to pull tone off gradually; this block is worked across the paper to clean an area up. Artists who shade heavily usually keep both — the kneaded piece to adjust tone, this one to take marks out.

The block is substantial, a thick rectangle rather than a slim school eraser. That gives you broad flat faces for clearing a passage and firm corners for getting into a tight spot. On charcoal it lifts a section back without the hard scrubbing a firm plastic eraser needs.

At this price it is not a school eraser and does not pretend to be. It is a fine-art block, bought by people who want something soft enough to clean a drawing without chewing up the paper surface.

FAQs

What is a gum eraser?

A soft eraser made to clean and correct without abrading the paper. The Cretacolor Caramel 433 is a fine-art version — softer than a plastic block, which is what lets it clear charcoal or graphite without scuffing the sheet.

How is this different from the Cretacolor kneaded eraser?

They do opposite jobs. The kneaded eraser is pressed onto a drawing to lift tone off gradually. This Caramel block is worked across the paper to take a mark out. Artists shading heavily tend to keep both on the desk.

Why is it caramel coloured?

That is the traditional colour of an art gum block. It also makes the eraser easy to pick out in a case that is otherwise full of white plastic.

Does it come in a wrapper?

No. The branding, the model number 433 and the barcode are printed directly onto the eraser, so it is supplied without a sleeve. The printing wears away as the block is used.

Is this suitable for school use?

It will work, but it is priced as a fine-art eraser rather than a school one. For homework and worksheets a standard block eraser costs a fraction of this and does the job perfectly well.

Will it damage textured drawing paper?

It should not. A soft gum eraser is chosen precisely because it clears marks without the hard scrubbing that a firm plastic eraser needs on textured or charcoal paper.

Can I pay cash on delivery for Cretacolor Caramel Gum Eraser 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?

WhatsApp confirms stock, selected option, city and delivery charges before dispatch. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities, depending on courier route and city.
