Twelve 30 ml jars of Pentel Poster Color, boxed, for Rs. 6,600. That is Rs. 550 a jar, and the number matters because most Pentel shades bought one at a time cost Rs. 675. The set is not a premium for convenience — it is genuinely the cheaper way to own Pentel poster colour, saving about Rs. 125 on every jar you would otherwise buy singly.

The box is the white and red Pentel design with a rainbow stripe across the front, and it prints its own three claims on the lid: Convenient, no fuss paints. Strong, vivid colors. Excellent coverage and density. Inside sit twelve glass jars with screw caps, several of them capped in the shade they hold so a jar can be found from above in a crowded drawer.

What twelve buys you over six is reach, not economy. Our Pentel Poster Color 30 ml Set of 6 is Rs. 3,350, which works out to Rs. 558.33 a jar — the twelve is only about 1.5% cheaper per jar. Doubling the set is a decision about how many shades you need on the table at once, and about not having to mix a colour you could simply own.

Poster colour dries flat and opaque. A pale shade laid over a dark one covers it rather than vanishing into it, and a large flat area stays flat instead of going patchy at the edges. That is why architecture students, sign painters and anyone doing board work reach for it rather than for watercolour, and why heavy thinning with water is self-defeating.

It is worth being straight about where this sits. Our Classic poster colour set of twelve is Rs. 850, which is Rs. 70.83 a jar — a Pentel jar costs almost eight times as much. Classic is for school charts and quantity. Pentel is for work whose colour is going to be looked at closely, and the difference is in the pigment rather than in the packaging.

It suits art students and painters from about 10 years up. The Safencia price is Rs. 6,600 with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan. Stock, your city, and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
