[Pen/Pencil Review] Office Depot Fashion Rollerball Pens – Multi-Pack

Posted by reudaly on May 4, 2015 in Review, writing instruments |

It’s time to get back to normal. We had illness in the house on top of everything else. But we’re better now. So, now it’s pen blog time. This week, I’m reviewing a multi-pack of fashion pens from Office Depot.

These fun roller ball pens come in a variety of patterns – from polka dots to plaid, checks, herringbone, etc. The pen patterns help identify the ink color. These come in a variety of colors – blue, black, green, pink, and purple. The caps to post relatively securely to the body of pen. The diameter of the stick is comfortable with a nod to ergonomics with the rubberized grip. The pens are nice – they come in 0.7mm points with dark, solid ink. They’re about 5.75″ long capped and nearly 6″ with the cap posted. The ink is a liquid gel, so there is some smearing if you don’t give it a second or two to dry.

The pens come in a clear plastic tube. The pens secure in the tube with the pen clips – which are sturdy enough to make it difficult to get the pens out of the tube. But the pens are cool, and I think they’re relatively inexpensive – these were a gift from my folks, but I’ve seen them in the bins near the cash register. So, if you’re looking for cute and fun, these are pretty decent pens.

To the numbers:
1. How does it work?1 They’re decent. The ink doesn’t skip much with good color and a decent point.
2. Grip and feel1 – These are inexpensive plastic with a nod to ergonomics with a rubber grip.
3. Material0.5 It’s an inexpensive plastic pen in a plastic tube.
4. Overall Design0.5 – It’s a standard stick pen, but it’s not always clear what color the ink is from the pen body or cap. Some are clear, some are more of a guess. The clips are stiff, which is a mixed blessing – you won’t lose them, but they’re also more difficulty to get out of the tube.
5. Price Point1 – These were a gift, but I don’t think they’re that expensive. They’re part of the promotional or gift bins.
