For families with children, a durable and practical pencil case is an essential stationery item. It can make it easy for children to access the stationery they need, saving time and improving learning efficiency.

Similarly, adults can also benefit from using a good pencil case to improve work efficiency and maintain a positive mood.

When purchasing a pencil case, it can be easy to make mistakes and end up with too many cases that are still in good condition. This article provides tips on buying and selecting a pencil case to help you make a more informed decision.

First, the style of pencil case

Many styles of pen case, can be broadly divided into the following six categories:

1. Single layer pencil case

Featuring only one main compartment, this style is simple, generous, and inexpensive.

2. Multi-layer pencil case

The pencil case has evolved from a double-layer design to a six-layer design. It now includes not only a main and secondary compartment, but also multiple laminated compartments for convenient and organized storage of stationery. This design provides ample storage space while also making it easy to categorize and locate items.

3. 3D pencil case

The pencil case features a 3D relief design with a variety of lifelike shapes. Some shapes can even be pinched to reduce stress, making it suitable for elementary school students.

4. Folio pencil case

The zipper can be opened to unfold the stationery holder 180°, allowing for easy access to a variety of stationery items. The holder has a large capacity, providing ample storage space for stationery.

5. Flap pencil case

The design of its secondary bag features a flap and is full of personality, but it may not be very convenient to carry.

6. Vertical pencil case

This design combines a pen and pencil case, allowing the pencil case to serve as a holder for the pen when not in use. The pens are stored vertically, making them easily accessible and saving desktop space.

Second, the material of the pen case

1. Canvas pencil case

The material is thin and breathable, and can be easily washed. It also provides sun protection. However, it is prone to getting dirty and can easily pick up pen oil.

2. Plastic pencil case

The stationery’s high transparency allows for easy visibility of its contents from the outside, making it possible to bring into examination rooms in some cases. It is wear-resistant, durable, lightweight, and easy to clean. Some varieties even have waterproof capabilities. However, its poor breathability is a disadvantage.

3. Leather pencil case

The product may not be durable and may not provide adequate ventilation, despite being comfortable.

Third, the purchase of skills

1. Capacity

When purchasing a pen case, it is important to determine the number of pens that need to be stored in order to select the appropriate capacity.

Additionally, consider the size of the pen case to ensure that it can accommodate other items such as a triangle board, ruler, compass, and other stationery supplies.

2. Select the style

To determine the required style of pencil case, consider the intended use, such as desktop or travel.

For portable use, a single layer pencil case with a handle is recommended. For long-term desktop use, a folio type pencil box or a triangular design side pen case can prevent dumping.

It is important to choose a pencil case that suits your needs.

3. Pay attention to safety

When selecting a pen case, it is important to ensure that the edges and seams are smooth and not abrasive to prevent scratches during use. Additionally, it is recommended to choose a pen case made of environmentally friendly materials and without any strong odors.
