No, we do not offer tours to the public. With machines running throughout our workday, there are safety concerns for any potential visitors, especially children wanting to visit. But if you’re curious about the process and our machinery, check out our blog post where we showcase each step of pencil manufacturing. It’s great for adults (and kids!) interested in seeing how a pencil is made.

There are quite a few opportunities to donate to many meaningful entities, and as you can imagine, we get requests almost daily. As such, we concentrate on our local requests for pencil donations. On occasion, there are opportunities where we have what are considered “seconds.” These are pencils that include misprints. In some instances we’re able to sell these at a reduced rate to organizations. In that case, those purchasing are asked to cover freight costs. If this may be of interest to your organization, please contact us

Believe it or not, we get this question emailed quite a bit. The answer is yes, we make custom pencils. We are a pencil factory! If it’s been done before on a pencil, we can probably do it (just submit a quote). If it’s never been done, email us with your idea, and perhaps we can make history!

Great question, and it varies depending on the style and printing method.
