Paper Mate
Comfortable ballpoints and gel pens for everyday writing.
About Paper Mate
Paper Mate has been making ballpoint pens since 1949, when it introduced one of the first retractable ballpoints with a cap that actually held. The brand has focused on the everyday writing market - reliable, comfortable and affordable pens for the desk drawer, the school bag and the office supply cupboard.
The InkJoy ballpoint uses a low-viscosity ink that requires less pressure than standard ballpoints, making it a practical choice for long writing sessions. The InkJoy Gel variant gives a smoother, faster-drying line. The FlexGrip is designed for grip comfort - a wider rubber sleeve that distributes pressure over a larger area.
Paper Mate pens are not premium products, and they do not pretend to be. They are practical writers at a practical price, available in multi-packs for school, office and home. The InkJoy in particular has a following among people who write a lot and want a consistent everyday pen without thinking about it.
