Wholesale Chalk Pastel Pencils Manufacturer — 24 & 72 Color Sets OEM

Soft-core chalk pastel pencils manufactured in Qingyuan, China. 24 and 72 color sets with 4mm break-resistant cores, in paper box or tin box with retail-ready trays. FSC certified, CE and EN71-3 compliant. MOQ from 2,000 sets for importers supplying art supply brands, stationery distributors and private label programmes.

Chalk pastel pencils pair a soft, high-pigment chalk core with a wooden barrel — the matte, blendable laydown of a chalk pastel in a sharpenable pencil. Our range covers 24-color and 72-color sets built on a 4mm core, a larger diameter than standard color pencils, chosen so the soft core survives sharpening, export transit and the drawing pressure that snaps thinner pastel cores. Barrels are FSC-certified basswood on the paper-box set and natural-finish FSC-certified cedar on the tin-box sets, kiln-dried to 8–12% moisture and cut to 17.6cm × 7.5mm around the core (FSC ESTS-COC-251233).

Every color is tested against EN71-3 for heavy-metal migration and screened for REACH SVHC — per individual color, not a blanket certificate across the set. FSC, CE and ISO 9001 documents are available for your compliance file. With over 20 years of OEM production in Qingyuan, Zhejiang, we manufacture for art supply brands, stationery distributors and private label programmes across 50+ countries. Custom color ranges, Pantone-matched barrels and branded packaging are produced in-house.

FAQ: Sourcing Chalk Pastel Pencils from China

How are chalk pastel pencils different from normal colored pencils?

Chalk pastel pencils use a soft chalk-based core with a high pigment-to-binder ratio, so the laydown is powdery and matte rather than waxy. Colors smudge, blend with a finger, paper stump or blender, and layer over each other into soft gradients — the effect of a chalk pastel stick, without loose dust. Standard colored pencils use a harder wax or oil core that holds a sharp point and layers without smudging. Many art supply customers stock both: colored pencils for fine line work, chalk pastel pencils for portraits, landscapes and mixed media. Chalk pastel pencils are an art material, not blackboard chalk.

Why does core diameter matter on chalk pastel pencils?

A soft chalk core snaps more easily than a wax pencil core, so diameter is what keeps it intact. Our chalk pastel pencils use a 4mm core — noticeably larger than the 2.8-3.3mm cores on our standard color pencils. The extra material absorbs normal drawing and sharpening pressure, which reduces the in-transit and end-user breakage that drives returns and one-star reviews. The wider core also lays a block of color fast while still sharpening to a point for detail work. If you are replacing a supplier after breakage complaints, 4mm is the specification to ask for.

What packaging options do you offer for chalk pastel pencil sets?

Our chalk pastel sets ship in two formats: a printed paper box on the 24-color value set, and a tin box on the 24-color and 72-color sets — the 72-color tin holds two blister trays of 36 pencils, so soft cores cannot shift in transit. Packaging is designed and printed in-house, so box artwork, barrel color, dip color, color sequence and palette adjustments can all be produced to your specification. Tell us the channel — art supply, gift, museum shop or school — and we will recommend the format that fits the shelf and price point.

What is the MOQ for chalk pastel pencil sets?

MOQ is 2,000 sets per set configuration, with a 30-35 day production lead time. A configuration means a color count plus packaging format, so the 24-color paper box, the 24-color tin box and the 72-color tin box are each quoted separately. The minimum covers a production run of barrels, cores and packaging, so it applies per color count — not per mixed pallet. If you are test-launching chalk pastels, tell us your target volume and market in the RFQ and we will confirm the exact minimum for your specification before you commit.
