Columbia Copperplate Lead Pencils Hexagonal B Box of 20

B grade refers to the hardness and darkness of the graphite core. A B pencil produces a softer, darker mark than an HB pencil, making it well-suited to expressive handwriting, sketching, and shading. It requires slightly more care to avoid smudging but delivers richer tonal depth on the page.

Each box contains 20 Columbia Copperplate B grade hexagonal pencils. This format is practical for classroom sets, office stationery orders, and bulk top-ups without the cost commitment of a full carton.
