The Iconic BIC Cristal

Sophisticated Barrel Design

The smoked barrel design of the Cristal Xtra Bold Ball Pen adds a sophisticated look to the original BIC pen. The translucent barrel still allows you to see how much ink you have left, while the tinted look distinguishes the Cristal Xtra Bold from other writing instruments. The classic hexagon-shaped barrel prevents the pen from rolling off flat surfaces.

Bold Point Writes with Vividness and Flair

The BIC Cristal Xtra Bold features a 1.6mm bold point, designed to create vivid, eye-catching lines that stand out on the page. The bold point gives your writing extra definition, making this pen ideal for drawing, annotating, and other writing activities that require a bold touch.

The result is a fluid, natural writing experience that keeps pace with your thoughts and leaves a bold impression. *Easy-Glide available only for black, blue, red, and green ink.
