An HB Copperplate Box for Notes, Forms and Everyday Desk Work

Columbia Copperplate 61700HB puts 20 hexagonal HB lead pencils in one box, and ACCO Brands labels the HB grade for versatile use. It is a sensible general grade for a desk drawer that has to cover notes, forms and rough sketches.

ACCO Brands calls Copperplate the flagship Columbia series, and each pencil carries the look that goes with that name: a red body finished with a dark brown capped end. The barrel is hexagonal rather than round. Product photos from ACCO show columbia, copperplate and HB printed along the side, so the grade is easy to confirm before a pencil goes into a shared tray.

ACCO Brands states that this lead sharpens easily without crumbling. On the printed box front the same idea appears as "easy to sharpen", just below "leads don't crumble" and next to the large HB. ACCO's own wording for the lead is premium and high quality, delivering smooth writing performance at a desk or in a classroom.

The HB box sits in our lead pencil range beside the other Copperplate grades. Pencil sharpeners, erasers and the full Columbia collection are listed separately for anyone building a complete stationery order.

FAQs

ACCO Brands lists the purpose of the Copperplate HB grade simply as versatile use. That makes 61700HB a general option rather than a specialist drawing grade.
Yes. Mega also lists Columbia Copperplate HB Pack 2, code 61700CHB, which ACCO lists with the same HB grade and hexagonal barrel. This listing is the box of 20.
The front of the 61700HB box is printed with "leads don't crumble" and "easy to sharpen". ACCO Brands makes the same point on its product page, stating that the lead sharpens easily without crumbling.
Columbia pencils are listed on the ACCO Brands Australia partner site, which is where the 61700HB code, grade and pack size used on this page come from. The box front also carries Pelikan and Artline logos.
