BIC Cristal Xtra Bold Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.6mm) For Vivid And Dramatic Lines, Assorted Colors, 24-Count Pack, Perfect Ink Pens

I've been using this 12-pack of BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth pens for the past couple of weeks and they're exactly what you'd expect from BIC - reliable and consistent. The 1.0mm medium point writes smoothly without skipping, and the ink flow is even throughout. I appreciate that they actually live up to the "extra smooth" claim compared to regular Cristal pens. Great value for money - 12 pens at this price point is hard to beat, and they last a surprisingly long time with daily use. The classic clear barrel design lets you see ink levels, and the blue ink is vibrant without being too dark. Perfect for note-taking, office work, or just having around the house. My only minor gripe is that the caps can come off a bit too easily in my bag, but that's typical for most ballpoint pens. For basic writing needs, these are dependable workhorses that I'd definitely buy again.

Love these bold colors. The quality of these pens are great for journals. So smooth and bright!

These are the pens that we used in the 1960's for school and everything else. They are good pens with their own fame for having been the go to pen for all writing. Back then there were no Pilot, or gel pens and they were not needed. And, if you wanted something a little more expensive with good writing qualities, there was Papermate. With Bic pens though, (the pen of pens as far as I am concerned), nothing else was needed. For school kids it is the best because of how well they write and how economical they are. The only down side is that it is so easy to lose the cap. But, C'est la vie.

I really enjoy using the BIC Cristal Xtra Bold pens for their vivid ink and super smooth writing experience. The 1.6mm bold point makes lines thick and dramatic, which is perfect for headings, labeling, or when you want your writing to stand out. The assorted colors are a fun bonus and work great for color-coding or adding personality to notes and journals.

I love how the pens glide on paper. I recommend these.

These BIC pens write really smooth and effortlessly, which makes them great for everyday use. The ink flow is consistent and doesn’t skip, but just a heads-up—they do write a bit thicker than some standard pens.If you like a bold, darker line, you’ll love them. I use them for notes, lists, and journaling, and they’ve held up great. Reliable and affordable—just a little on the thick side!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have been using the BIC cristal pens for years. The ink flows very smoothly and the colors are great. I was happy to find this variety pack for a low price. I will definitely buy them again in the future.

These pens arrived without any damage. The ballpoint pens write smoothly without any skips. They are easy to use and I would recommend. The number of pens (a dozen) is a nice quantity for a two-person household. I am glad that I made this purchase!
