Sketch Graphite Pencil Set — 12 pcs (6B–4H)
12-piece graphite sketch pencil set covering 6B to 4H grades, presented in tin box — ideal for art retailers and educational distributors

Product Overview
Art supply buyers and educational materials distributors sourcing sketching pencil sets face a consistent challenge: finding a set that spans the full grade range required for serious drawing instruction without the quality inconsistency that generates returns and reorder complications. This 12-piece Sketch Graphite Pencil Set covers 6B through 4H in a single tin box, providing the complete tonal range needed for portrait, life drawing, observational sketching, and technical illustration.
Each pencil is manufactured from FSC-certified basswood with moisture content held between 8% and 12%. The selected knots-free basswood provides consistent sharpening across all grade variants — critical for softer grades like 6B and 4B where barrel integrity directly affects the sharpening experience. The graphite cores are produced with grade-specific formulations: soft grades (6B–2B) use higher graphite ratios for rich, smudgeable blacks; hard grades (H–4H) use denser clay-graphite blends for precise, light technical lines.
The tin box packaging provides structural protection in transit, strong shelf presence in retail environments, and perceived premium value appropriate for art supply retail positioning. The compact tin format is also suitable for gifting programs and school art supply sets. Each grade is individually stamped on the barrel for immediate identification.
FSC and BSCI certifications support compliance with European retailer requirements. The pencil finish is EN71-3 compliant and REACH tested. Custom grade ranges, custom tin printing, and OEM branding are available. This set is well-suited to art supply chains, educational materials wholesalers, and online art supply retailers across Europe and North America. A reliable option for sketch graphite pencil set wholesale from China and FSC certified artist pencil OEM manufacturing programs.
Samples in custom grade configurations are available for evaluation. Full FSC and BSCI documentation is provided. Planogram compliance data including tin dimensions and individual pencil weight is available on request. A proven choice for sketch pencil set OEM from China.
