Z-Grip Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Blue Ink, 1.0mm, 48 Bulk-Pack | Smooth Writing, Medium Point Tip, Ideal for Planners, Note-Taking, School and Office Supplies, and Everyday Writing (22248)

Note: All of my reviews are written 100% by me, not AI generated. I continue to come back to these pens in both blue and black over and over. They are light, comfortable to hold, and write clearly from the first try. For me, the 1.0 point is perfect as I prefer a more solid line when writing so I haven’t tried the other sizes. I use these pens to write on almost any surface including washi tape in my journal. They also write really well on shiny surfaces like the back of a greeting card. The only thing I have found them to be hit or miss on is PET tape and transparent plastic tape from my label maker. However, I don’t really expect them to write on that kind of tape, so it doesn’t bother me. I was a long-time Bic ballpoint pen user but was given one of these at work, and I fully converted almost immediately. Also I find the price on Amazon, especially on Subscribe and Save, to be the best I’ve found. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy using a ballpoint pen for your day to day writing!

Awesome product, very reasonable price.

like the smooth feel and writing quality

If you’re looking for cheap pens these are good. They write smoothly and I like the feel. Two big problems I saw with them (but again, you kind of get what you pay for): They run out of ink pretty fast. I’ve been a little disappointed with how fast I run through the ink. I write a bit, but not an abnormal amount. Really just in my journal every day, and usually only a few pages at most (small 5x7-ish sized notebook). But luckily the package is large, so I’m not too worried about that. Just may.l not be the most cost-effective option if you’re buying for an office or other environment where you will be writing a lot. The other thing I haven’t loved is the speed that the ink leaves the pen. If I’m just writing it seems to work fairly well, with only a few letters here and there coming out slightly faded. But if you try to draw a line (I usually put a line between journal entries so I can maximize page usage… because I use my journals a lot), it fades halfway across my page (again, it’s only like 4-5” across…). So not super ideal for anything more than regular text writing or something along those lines. Any continuous lines tend to run out of ink and you have the lift the pen and start again. Maybe a weird complaint, but I know people who use these types of pens for art and other things like that - so I would not recommend these for that. Overall, even with these complaints, I feel like for the price, these are pretty good pens. I’ve liked them and it was nice to get so many in a package.

Economical and good quality.

Overall, these Zebra Z-Grip pens are comfortable to hold and offer a nice grip for longer writing sessions. The ink is bold and dries quickly, which I appreciate — especially for everyday use. However, I’ve noticed that a few pens in the pack have inconsistent ink flow — they skip or take a few strokes to get going, which can be a little frustrating. Most of the pens work just fine, but the quality control could be a bit better. Still, for the price and quantity, it’s a solid deal — just be prepared that not every pen may write perfectly from the start.

I love these pens. The last batch lasted a LONG time, were comfortable to use and had good ink. I bought them again.

These pens have been a favorite in our office for several years. The point size is just right, and the blue ink writes smoothly and looks great. They’re also a comfortable length and fit well in everyone’s hand, which makes them a great everyday pen for the office. We’ve been buying these for years and were so glad to find them on Amazon. They’ve become our go-to pens, and we’ll definitely continue purchasing them.

Brilliant pens...love em....they feel comfortable to hold and the ink flows beautifully

Llegaron rápido, buena escritura.

Etant gauchère, je cherche des stylos que ne me laisseront pas de taches d'encre. Ceux-ci en laissent et en plus arrêtent de fonctionner au bout de 2 ou 3 semaines. L'encre noire est intense c'est le seule point positif.

Muy buena calidad

Good quality and value!
