2B Graphite Pencil — Pack of 5
5-pack 2B graphite pencils — exam-grade writing pencil for school and office wholesale

Product Overview
School supply distributors and stationery wholesalers servicing examination boards, government education programs, and standardized test markets require a 2B pencil that consistently passes optical mark reader (OMR) scanning standards — batch after batch, without variation. This 5-pack 2B Graphite Pencil is manufactured to that standard, with formulation consistency and barrel quality controlled under ISO 9001 production management.
The 2B grade is the international standard for examination pencils in many markets, including the UK, Ireland, Australia, and large parts of Asia and the Middle East, where OMR answer sheets require a specific graphite density range to register reliably on scanning equipment. The graphite core is formulated to the appropriate darkness and smear characteristics, and the barrel is manufactured from FSC-certified basswood with moisture content controlled between 8% and 12%. Selected knots-free basswood ensures clean, consistent sharpening to the fine point required for accurate OMR bubble completion.
The hexagonal barrel profile prevents desk roll in examination settings. The 2.2mm break-resistant graphite core is engineered to withstand the pressure applied by exam candidates filling OMR sheets without mid-marking breakage, which would disrupt the examination process. The lacquer finish is EN71-3 compliant and REACH tested.
The 5-pack retail format is optimized for newsagent, pharmacy, and supermarket stationery sections serving exam season demand. For bulk examination board supply, loose-count bulk carton formats are available. FSC and BSCI certification documents are provided. Custom count packs, custom barrel printing, and OEM packaging are available from the standard MOQ. An established choice for 2B examination pencil wholesale from China and school stationery bulk supply programs targeting European and global markets.
Samples are available for pre-production approval and OMR scanning verification tests. FSC and BSCI certificate documentation is provided with each inquiry. A reliable platform for examination pencil wholesale and 2B pencil bulk supply from China.
