Highly popular giveaways with schools, children, students, colleges and universities. Pencil cases are used to store stationery items including plastic pens, pencils, rulers and erasers. Pencils cases are not just used in schools, they are also popular for office promotions. People who use pens and pencils daily find them highly useful desktop and office giveaways. If you're attending exhibitions, trade shows or a charity fundraising event, consider pencil cases. They make for a great low cost part of your advertising and marketing mix.

The history of pencil cases

You will find a range of pencil case styles in our offering, from simplistic ones that suit uni students to more colourful ones perfect for children. Back in the day, though, or rather, when they first came to be, they were mostly round or cylindrical, and in the 1800s, some were being made from sterling silver. Lothar von Faber invented the first pencil case around 1880. In China, the people there preferred making and using metal or wooden pencil cases. They would later on export them to other parts of the world too.

So who filed for the first patent and changed the course of history, or rather, made it possible for us to continue producing and improving pencil case design? It was none other than American stationery expert Verona Pearl Amoth. She filed her patent application in 1944 and got it in 1946. Her design was supposed to maintain the pencil tips (protect them) and to prevent them from making holes in clothing.

That pencil case wasn’t, of course, perfect. It could only hold six pencils in individual slots that had to be pulled out. Furthermore, the case had to be carried and placed on a table in an upright position (it came with a stand). 

We’ve come a long way since that first patent today; we can now buy personalised pencil cases in various styles and even tiers! Plus, we can now keep other things in them, such as erasers, sharpeners, small rulers, and more. Clearly, a modern pencil case is the ultimate organisation tool for a student or child. Even better, adults can use it to avoid having to rummage around their bags looking for writing pens or pencils!

How branded pencil cases can help promote your business

Fancy ads may not suit every business’ budget, and luckily, not everyone has to use them. Promotional products, such as printed pencil cases, are an effective alternative that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg but still generates exquisite results.

One of the best parts about pencil cases today is that students aren’t the only ones who love them. Your staff, clients, and customers would also appreciate and use them often, as they offer space to resolve one of the most annoying parts about being human — messiness. This also makes them suitable for a range of industries; anyone who requires pens, pencils, erasers and more to work can put your branded pencil case to good use!!
