In daily study, office and even drawing, mechanical pencils have gradually become the preferred writing tool for many people because of their advantages such as no need to sharpen the pencil, smooth writing and fashionable appearance. Compared with traditional wooden pencils, mechanical pencils are more convenient and environmentally friendly, but their structure is relatively complex, and daily use also requires some skills and details. So, when using mechanical pencils in daily life, what aspects do we need to pay attention to to ensure smooth writing and longer service life? This article will systematically sort out for you from multiple aspects such as purchase, use, and maintenance.
1. The basic structure and types of mechanical pencils
Before officially talking about the precautions for use, it is necessary to understand the basic structure and types of mechanical pencils.
The main components of mechanical pencils:
The tip: the position that supports the lead when writing, divided into fixed tip and retracted tip.
Core discharge mechanism: slowly push the lead forward by pressing the button.
Pen core compartment: used to load spare lead, generally located in the middle or tail of the pen.
Eraser: mostly integrated at the end of the pen, convenient for modification.
Common mechanical pencil classification:
Push-type mechanical pencil: the core is discharged by pressing the button, which is the most common type.
Rotary core-out type: Control the length of the lead by rotating the pen tail, which is relatively rare.
Gravity core-out type: Automatic core-out using gravity sensing, with a stronger sense of technology, often used in high-end products.
For buyers who want to wholesale mechanical pencils, understanding these basic types will help choose a more suitable product combination according to the target customer group.
2. Precautions for using mechanical pencils
Do not press the core-out button frequently
Some users frequently press the core-out button when using it, and even take out too many refills at once, resulting in the refill being too long and easy to break, which is not only wasteful but also increases the frequency of refill consumption. The correct way is: press lightly once each time, and keep the length of the refill at 0.5~0.8mm.
Avoid excessive tilting
Many people are used to writing with a large tilt angle of the pen, which is not suitable for mechanical pencils. Especially when using mechanical pencils with 0.3mm or 0.5mm thin refills, excessive tilting can easily cause the refill to break. It is recommended to write at an angle between 45° and 60°.
Do not mix different types of refills
The refills of mechanical pencils are generally 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm and other specifications. Different specifications of refills correspond to different refill bins. If a 0.5mm refill is mistakenly installed in a 0.7mm pen, it will cause the refill to be unsmooth, the refill will be stuck, and even the refill propulsion structure will be damaged. Therefore, it is recommended to sell the corresponding refills when wholesale mechanical pencils to provide customers with one-stop purchasing services.
Clean the refill bin regularly
After the mechanical pencil has been used for a long time, the refill debris, paper scraps or dust may clog the refill bin, causing the refill to be unsmooth. It is recommended to use tweezers or a special cleaning needle to clean it once a month to keep its internal structure unobstructed, which helps to extend its service life.
Correctly replace spare refills
Many users do not pay attention to the method when filling spare refills, and randomly insert the refills, even exceeding the capacity of the pen bin. As a result, the refills are stuck, and in severe cases, the propeller is damaged. The correct way to refill is: gently press the refill button to return the original refill, and then insert 1 to 3 new refills in turn.
Children should pay attention to safety when using
When purchasing in bulk at school or selling mechanical pencils to children, special attention should be paid to product safety. Does the tip of the pen have a protective cap? Is the refill easy to swallow by mistake? Does the shell have sharp edges? Such details not only affect the user experience, but also relate to safety risks.
3. Purchase suggestions for wholesale mechanical pencils
Whether it is office purchases, stationery store purchases or corporate customized gifts, wholesale mechanical pencils are a very popular choice. So what are the key points to note when purchasing?
Pay attention to brand and workmanship
Brand products are more stringent in quality control, with stable structure, smooth use, and perfect after-sales guarantee. It is recommended to choose a brand wholesale that has a certain reputation in the market, especially for companies that focus on stationery sales.
Choose a variety of refill specifications
Currently, 0.5mm and 0.7mm are the mainstream specifications in the market, but for professional groups such as art students and designers, 0.3mm thin refills and 0.9mm thick refills are also rigidly needed. Therefore, when purchasing, mechanical pencil sellers should reasonably match products with different types of refills to meet the needs of different users.
Consider customized services
Now many manufacturers support OEM customization of mechanical pencils, such as printing company LOGO, brand slogans, pattern packaging, etc., which are particularly suitable as corporate gifts or promotional gifts. For merchants selling mechanical pencils, personalized customization is an excellent way to develop new customers.
As a daily writing tool, mechanical pencils take into account convenience, beauty and environmental protection, and are an indispensable part of modern people's learning, work and creation. The seemingly simple stationery actually contains rich usage details and skills. Mastering the correct usage method can not only enhance the writing experience, but also extend the service life of the mechanical pencil, so that this "automatic" tool can truly play its due effectiveness.
If you are still troubled by problems such as frequent core breakage and core jamming, you may wish to review the precautions described in this article, from core selection to maintenance, use it scientifically, and experience the comfort and smoothness of writing.
