We’ve revamped and repackaged our PIN sets into new plastic-free PIN packs. In doing so we’ve ditched the single use plastic and sought to promote a range of different artists.
Brand new packs
You may know that last year we introduced new plastic free packaging to our writing ranges. Now we’ve extended this to our PIN pens.
The packs are completely biodegradable and printed in a sustainable way. This means that as well as being plastic free we have used vegetable inks and less wastage than conventional printing processes. They are also made in the UK, reducing air miles. Find out more about our plastic-free packaging here.
An artist’s favourite
As you know uni-PIN fine-line pens are renowned for delivering a wealth of mark-making solutions and their quality, longevity and versatility. That’s why artists, graphic designers and architects love these fine line pens.
These pigment ink pens boast Super Ink Technology, which keeps colour solid and vibrant, so work won’t fade or bleed through paper. Whatever nib you choose, the PIN’s robust structure gives it excellent wear resistance making them last longer.
Expanding the range
As well as introducing new plastic-free PIN packs we also have four new uni-PIN nib shapes and sizes for you to enjoy. We’ve therefore seized the opportunity to give you some new uni-PIN collections that showcase specially selected nib sizes.
The black PIN range has expanded from 14 to 18 calibrated tip sizes. In addition to its standard shape sizes, from delicate 0.03 to robust 1.2 nib, plus an expressive brush tip, the range now boasts three new chisel tips for calligraphy, plus an Extra Fine brush tip made with real bristles. This range of sizes and shapes allows for a plethora of exciting creative possibilities.
The new plastic-free PIN packs collections
This expansion of the range gave us an opportunity to hone and refine its pen sets, giving each pack a purpose and theme to help the customer choose the right pen selection for drawing, graphic design and calligraphy. Available in fully biodegradable plastic free packaging each pack has been designed by an artist to illustrate the pens range and possibilities, showcasing each nib size and colour.

Celebrating artists
The new packs showcase the work of five fantastic PIN artists; Heidi Sharp, Becki Clark, Bethany Bee Illustrations, Beetle Back Designs and Lettering Our World.
In selecting our artists we wanted to celebrate real artistic talent and give our PIN pens a real run for their money. The artwork on each of the new plastic free PIN packs illustrate what can be done with the specific pens in the pack.
Take a look at our YouTube channel to see the ens in action and for films on two of our packaging artists.
