## Description

From the manufacturer About us Paper Mate pens offer vivid colors, smooth lines and enjoyable writing. Pick from a wide selection of ballpoint, gel, felt tip or erasable pens. History It all started in the early in the 1940s, Patrick J. Frawley, an entrepreneur who saw opportunities, acquired a ballpoint pen parts manufacturer during a time when the ballpoint pen industry was struggling due to poor product performance and began the journey to find an improved ballpoint pen ink that would change the industry. Paper Mate was born and transformed the ballpoint pen industry with a revolutionary instant-drying ink that did not leak. This would be the start of Paper Mate's love for writing and road to become a global writing instrument brand with innovation at it's core.
