FAQs

Are these pencils suitable for adults?

While designed for primary school children, adults can use them for casual drawing or sketching. However, they may not meet the specific requirements for professional artistic applications.

What is WOPEX material?

WOPEX is an innovative material used by Staedtler, made from wood. It offers a unique feel, improved break-resistance, and is produced in an energy-saving process using wood from sustainably managed forests.

How do I sharpen these pencils effectively?

Use a high-quality pencil sharpener. Sharpen slowly and with consistent pressure. A sharpener with adjustable settings might offer the best results.

Can I use these pencils with other brands of coloured pencils?

Yes, these pencils are fully compatible with other coloured pencils and art mediums for mixed-media projects.

How many colours are included in the pack?

This pack (185 CD24) contains 24 assorted colours.

Are these pencils made from real wood?

Yes, they are made from wood sourced from PEFC-certified German forests, utilizing the innovative WOPEX material.

Does the pack come with a sharpener?

No, the Staedtler Noris Colour Pencils (185 CD24) pack does not include a pencil sharpener.

Troubleshooting

Lead breaks easily during sharpening

Ensure you are using a good quality pencil sharpener. Sharpen slowly and steadily, applying gentle pressure. If using an electric sharpener, ensure the lead is centered correctly.

Colours appear faint on paper

Apply more pressure while colouring. The soft lead is designed to lay down colour smoothly, but may require firmer pressure for intense saturation on certain paper types.

Pencil has a rough exterior

The pencils feature an ergonomic soft surface and non-slip grip. This is an intentional design feature for better handling and is not a defect.
