Bic Cristal

The French entrepreneur Marcel Bich initiated a writing revolution in 1950 with the smudge-resistant BIC Cristal Original ballpoint pen featuring a medium 1.0 mm tip and a line width of 0.4 mm, available in a pack of 50. His invention offered an unbeatable trio: a tip, a perfectly round ball, and high-quality ink produced in BIC factories. The company adheres to its extremely high quality standards by continuously optimizing the BIC Cristal pen. Over the years, the pen has been made lighter, and the proprietary ink has been further perfected for improved writing comfort. This pen now lasts twice as long as most conventional ballpoint pens. The BIC Cristal ballpoint pen is a reliable, ubiquitous everyday item for millions of people around the world, from students and professionals to artists, and has been appreciated by all for decades. The legendary object is even displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Musée d'Art Moderne/Centre Pompidou in Paris, where visitors continue to be captivated by its timeless design. Because only BIC is as good as BIC.
