Sharpeners

From small white plastic blocks to a black vintage camera desk model, these custom pencil sharpeners for school packs come in plenty of shapes. Compact ABS and translucent bodies hold shavings inside, with lift off lids, flip tops or a base that opens on the bulb shaped version. Eraser and sharpener two-in-ones come in several builds, some with the eraser hidden at one end, others behind a twist cover, pull cap or plastic safety cover. A carpenter sharpener with a sand pad handles flat carpenter pencils. Natural bamboo brings a wooden finish with a removable black lid and room for skinny or large pencils, and the camera style adds an adjustable point and a slide-out tray.

Day one of term at a small country school. A year four student unpacks the bag the P&C put together, finds a translucent sharpener next to the pencils, and uses it before morning tea. The shavings stay shut inside the case, so nothing lands on the new classroom carpet. Matching it with a pencil from the pencils range keeps everything in one pack.

All these promotional pencil sharpeners can be branded, and most can be printed. Among the branded pencil sharpeners, the camera style desk model comes individually gift boxed, ready to hand over.

Before You Order

How do I match a sharpener to the pencils in a pack?
Match the round hole sharpeners to round pencils, and use the carpenter sharpener only with flat carpenter pencils. The bamboo style fits skinny and large pencils, which helps when a pack mixes different pencil sizes.

Which sharpener is best for younger kids?
An eraser combo with a covered blade is best, such as the style with a plastic safety cover over the sharpener. Kids keep the shavings inside the body and get an eraser in the same small piece.

Should I pick bulk packed or individually packed styles?
Pick bulk packed styles for classroom packs you're assembling yourself, and individually packed ones for single handouts. One combo style comes individually polybagged, and the camera style desk sharpener comes individually gift boxed.

Are custom pencil sharpeners a good addition to school welcome packs?
Yes, custom pencil sharpeners keep the pencils in a welcome pack usable once their first point wears down. Compact styles with internal shavings storage slot into a pencil case without adding bulk or loose mess.
