Paper Mate
Paper Mate ballpoints and gel pens are a practical, budget-friendly choice for everyday writing. The InkJoy range is popular with students for its smooth ink and comfortable grip.
The InkJoy Range
The Paper Mate InkJoy is designed for smooth, low-resistance writing. The ink is low-viscosity, which means it flows easily without requiring much pressure from the writer. This makes the InkJoy a comfortable pen for long writing sessions, and it is a popular choice for students who take a lot of handwritten notes.
InkJoy pens are available in ballpoint and gel versions, in a range of tip sizes (0.5mm, 0.7mm and 1.0mm) and in a wide variety of colours. Retractable and cap versions are both available. Multi-packs of 8, 10 and 20 are good value and are frequently stocked as school back-to-school specials.
Paper Mate Flairs
Paper Mate Flair is a felt-tip pen with a medium 0.7mm tip and bold, vivid ink. It is popular for annotations, colour-coding notebooks, and creative journalling. The ink is water-based and available in a large range of colours, making the Flair a flexible tool for anyone who organises their notes visually.
Why Choose Paper Mate
Paper Mate's main advantage is price. The pens write well for the cost, which makes them a smart choice for school bags, shared office spaces, or any situation where pens go missing regularly. The InkJoy range in particular gives a writing experience that is noticeably better than most pens at the same price point. For anyone who just needs a reliable pen that won't cost much to replace, Paper Mate is a sensible pick.
