12-Color Classic Colored Pencil Set

12-color set with red softened basswood square barrel — supermarket staple, OEM packaging available

12-Color Classic Colored Pencil Set

Product Overview

The 12-color colored pencil set is the anchor SKU of any school stationery program — it is the first art supply product most buyers source and the one with the highest reorder frequency. Procurement managers know that a 12-color set that fails on pigmentation, core breakage, or packaging durability will generate returns and damage supplier relationships. This 12-Color Classic Colored Pencil Set is built to hold that shelf position reliably across high-volume seasons.

The barrels are manufactured from red-stained softened basswood — a material selected specifically for its sharpening performance. Softened basswood sharpens smoothly and evenly across all barrel diameters without splintering or tearing, which is the most common quality complaint with lower-grade color pencils. The square barrel profile prevents rolling on desks and is the recognized format in European supermarket school supply planograms. The 3.3mm break-resistant pigmented core provides bold, smooth color lay-down suitable for primary school art projects, coloring books, and craft use.

The pigment formulation is EN71-3 compliant for heavy metals and REACH tested, meeting EU chemical safety requirements for children's art products. FSC Chain-of-Custody and BSCI audit certificates are provided with each order for direct submission to retailer compliance systems. The set is available with full OEM packaging including retailer-specific barcode, packaging copy, and color specification.

This product is actively supplied to European supermarket school supply programs and is a strong candidate for any stationery buyer building or refreshing a 12-color school program. It suits school supply wholesalers, discount retailers, and stationery importers across Europe, the Middle East, and South America. An established choice for 12-color wooden pencil set OEM from China and EN71 compliant colored pencil wholesale for school supply programs.

Samples with custom OEM packaging and color-matched barrel options are available for retail review and compliance testing. Full FSC, BSCI, and EN71-3 test documentation is provided. A proven platform for 12-color school pencil set OEM from China.
