Pencil Cases & Pouches

Are you packing for a quick meeting, a day of classes or an afternoon of drawing? Choosing the right pencil case starts with the pens and pencils you reach for most. Keep things compact for daily essentials or, for those big projects, make room for highlighters, markers and whatever else you might need.

Next, think about how you like to organise your stationery. One main compartment keeps everything together, while separate sections can help you sort pens from smaller extras. Make sure there's space for your longest items too, so your ruler fits neatly and you can close your pencil case without a squeeze. Pair your case with a set from our gel pens range. Ballpoint pens are another everyday option to pack.

For the finishing touch, consider the material. Styles with a polyurethane finish offer a smooth surface that is easier to clean when compared to a traditional canvas case. Also consider the lining, stitching and zip if you plan to carry your pencil case between work, study and home. Keep spares on hand with our pencil refills.

Caring for Your Pencil Case

How you care for and clean your pencil case depends completely on its material and care instructions. Remove any loose pencil shavings or scraps of paper so you can see which areas need the most attention. Follow the instructions for your style, including any guidance for the lining, trims, and zip, before tackling everyday marks.

If your polyurethane pencil cases are labelled wipe clean, use a damp cloth on the outer surface. Give the areas with visible marks some attention and be sure to check the lining instructions, as the inside may need different care.

Before putting a canvas or fabric pencil case in the washing machine, check that the care instructions allow it. Use the specified wash settings and follow the drying guidance, too. Let the case dry completely before putting your stationery back in.
