The classic BIC Cristal Original pen with its clear barrel is the world's best-selling ballpoint pen, and this box contains 50 in black ink. Each of these lightweight pens has enough ink to write for an average of 3 km, plus is certified with the NF Environnement eco-label. The minimal design of this iconic object has made it part of the permanent collections at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Musée d'Art Moderne/Pompidou Centre in Paris.

French entrepreneur Marcel Bich started a writing revolution in 1950 with the smooth smudge-free BIC Cristal Original ballpoint pen. His invention offered an unbeatable trio: a point, a perfectly spherical ball, and high-quality ink manufactured in the BIC plants. The company has since upheld its flawless quality standards by constantly optimising the BIC Cristal pen with its instantly recognisable clear barrel. Over the years, the pen has gradually been made lighter and the proprietary ink is constantly being perfected for writing with an ever-gentler touch. This pen now lasts twice as long as most commonly known ballpoint pens, so this box of 50 black ballpoint pens will keep you going for a while! A ubiquitous object known and loved by all for decades, the BIC Cristal ballpoint pen is a totally dependable part of daily life for millions of people around the world, from students and professionals to artists. This iconic object is even on exhibit at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Musée d'Art Moderne/Pompidou Centre in Paris, where visitors still marvel at its timeless design. Because only BIC is as good as BIC.
