Columbia Copperplate Lead Pencils Hexagonal 2B Box of 20

The 2B grade sits on the softer side of the graphite scale, producing a darker, smoother line than an HB or H pencil. It is a popular choice for writers who prefer a flowing mark, as well as artists who need soft tonal shading. It also erases reasonably cleanly, making it practical for drafting and note-taking.

Each box contains 20 Columbia Copperplate 2B pencils. This is a standard bulk box suited to restocking classroom sets, office stationery cupboards, or individual studio supplies.

Yes. Columbia Copperplate pencils use high-quality graphite bonded securely within the barrel, so the lead sharpens cleanly in both electric and hand sharpeners without crumbling. The bond between wood and lead is consistent throughout the pencil.

The hexagonal shape gives your fingers a natural resting edge, reducing fatigue during extended writing or drawing sessions. It also prevents the pencil from rolling off flat desks and workbenches, which is a practical advantage in busy classrooms and open-plan offices.

Yes. The Copperplate line covers one of the broadest grade ranges in the Columbia family, from harder H grades through to softer B grades. If you need HB, B, 4B, or other grades, check the Mega Office Supplies range for available options in the same series.

The 2B grade is commonly recommended for younger students who are still developing their handwriting pressure, as the softer lead requires less force to produce a clear mark. The hexagonal barrel also supports a proper pencil grip. Always check your school's specific curriculum requirements before ordering.
