The barrel print is a chequerboard rather than a stripe: alternating squares of black and a neon colour running the full length, so a pencil catches the eye even lying flat among a dozen others. Pink, yellow, green and blue are the neon colours used across the jar.

Each pencil finishes with a soft rubber tip in a colour that matches its own chequers, which means a child looking down into a pot sees a row of coloured dots and picks theirs out without touching the rest.

Forty-eight in one jar is a quantity aimed at a classroom, a tuition centre or a household with several children. The lid is a domed screw cap with a small hanging loop, so the jar can sit on a shelf or hang from a hook in a cupboard.

Under the print it is an ordinary HB pencil, which is the point: the design survives the pencil being borrowed, but the writing grade is the same one schools ask for, dark enough to read and firm enough not to smudge across a copy.
