About BIC

Société BIC was founded in 1945 in Clichy, France by Marcel Bich. In 1950 the company launched the Cristal ballpoint, a transparent hexagonal pen with a simple, reliable ink system that made ballpoints affordable for everyone. The Cristal remains the most sold pen in history. BIC later expanded into lighters and shavers, but stationery is still its largest business, and the brand is a fixture in offices and classrooms across the United States.

BIC pens are designed to be dependable and low-cost rather than refillable. The Cristal and Round Stic use oil-based ink that writes on most paper without skipping or bleeding and lasts for roughly two kilometers of writing per pen. Gelocity Quick Dry uses a gel ink that dries in seconds to prevent smears. Wite-Out, acquired by BIC in 1992, covers the two common correction formats, dry tape and liquid fluid. Brite Liner highlighters use water-based fluorescent ink that will not bleed through most paper.

Offices buy Cristal and Round Stic by the box because the cost per pen is low and the performance is predictable. Schools order Round Stic, No. 2 mechanical pencils and Brite Liner highlighters for the start of the year. Banks, clinics and front desks use Cristal Xtra Bold for forms that need a dark, legible line. The brand's name recognition also makes it one of the easiest pen lines to resell online.

BIC buying guide

How to pick the right BIC product and pack size.

  1. Pick the Cristal Point Size

    Cristal Xtra Bold has a 1.6 mm point that lays down a thick, dark line, good for forms, signatures and anyone who presses lightly. The standard Cristal medium point is 1.0 mm and suits general writing. Xtra Bold uses ink faster, so budget for that if your team writes a lot.

  2. Ballpoint or Gel

    Ballpoints such as Cristal, Round Stic and Velocity use oil-based ink that lasts longest and works on carbon forms and receipts. Gelocity Quick Dry gel ink is smoother and more vivid and dries fast, but a gel pen writes fewer pages per unit. Many offices stock both.

  3. Wite-Out Tape vs Fluid

    Wite-Out correction tape is dry on contact, so you can write over it immediately, which makes it the better choice for desks and students. Wite-Out fluid covers larger areas and uneven surfaces but needs drying time. Keep fluid bottles capped tightly so they do not thicken.

  4. Buy Pens by the Box

    BIC pens and highlighters are typically packed 12 per box, and boxes are grouped into cases. Ordering full boxes at wholesale lowers the per-pen cost compared with retail blister packs. Pens store well for years when kept capped at room temperature, so buying ahead carries little risk.

Do you ship BIC products nationwide and how fast?

SNILLC ships BIC products anywhere in the USA from Rancho Cordova, California, with tracking on every order. Ready-to-ship items leave the warehouse fastest. SNILLC does not ship outside the United States.

Is there a minimum order for BIC products?

No. Retail shoppers can order a single pack. Shipping is $9.99 flat on retail orders under $60 and free at $60 or more. Wholesale pricing requires a business membership, and bulk quotes start at 6 boxes or pallet quantities.

What is the difference between BIC Cristal and BIC Round Stic?

Both are non-refillable stick ballpoints with oil-based ink. The Cristal has a clear hexagonal barrel and comes in medium 1.0 mm and Xtra Bold 1.6 mm points. The Round Stic has a round translucent barrel and is BIC's economy pen, usually the lowest cost per unit for offices and schools.

Does BIC Gelocity Quick Dry really prevent smearing?

Gelocity Quick Dry ink is formulated to dry in a few seconds on standard paper, which is why left-handed writers and fast note-takers choose it. On glossy or coated paper any gel ink takes longer to set, so test on your paper stock if smearing matters.

Should I buy Wite-Out tape or Wite-Out fluid?

Choose tape for quick corrections on single lines that you need to write over right away; it is dry and mess-free. Choose fluid for covering larger areas, signatures or uneven paper. Many offices keep both, with tape at desks and fluid in the supply closet.

Are BIC pens refillable?

No. BIC Cristal, Round Stic, Velocity and Gelocity pens are designed as complete, low-cost pens and are not sold with replacement refills. When one runs out, replace it. Because they are inexpensive by the box, this is usually cheaper than a refillable pen system for offices.

How long do BIC pens last in storage?

Capped BIC ballpoints stored at room temperature stay usable for years, since oil-based ink does not dry out quickly. Gel pens and highlighters also keep well capped but should be used within a couple of years for best flow. Store boxes flat, away from heat and direct sun.
