When the school supply list calls for pens, the BIC 4-Color Original Retractable Ballpoint Pen does the work of four. Black and blue for everyday notes and assignments, red to flag key points or corrections, and green to mark questions or organize by category, all in a single retractable pen that fits in a pencil case without adding bulk. Students use the 4-Color pen to color-code class notes by subject, annotate reading assignments, and keep their work organized from the first day of school through finals. Teachers reach for it to grade papers, write comments, and mark handouts in multiple colors without switching pens mid-stack. The 1.0 mm medium point writes smoothly and reliably on lined paper, notebooks, and forms. A retractable design with a comfortable wide barrel means the pen is always ready in a pocket or pencil case. Long-lasting ink in all four colors carries students and teachers through the school year without running dry. A 3-count pack gives students a backup and lets teachers keep one in the classroom and one at their desk.
