Pen & pencil box — frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the WestonBoxes pen & pencil box and what does it hold?
The pen & pencil box measures 231 x 121 x 57mm externally and 226 x 116 x 55mm internally. It comfortably holds standard length pens, pencils, brushes, and craft tools. The long, shallow format keeps contents organised and accessible without rattling or rolling.
What else can I store in the pen & pencil box?
Despite the name, this is one of the most versatile boxes in the range. Customers use it for paintbrushes, craft knives, rulers, scissors, markers, calligraphy pens, knitting needles, and general stationery. It was originally designed to hold compliment slips (99 x 210mm) — so it also works well for DL envelopes (110 x 220mm), folded letters, and small printed media.
Is the WestonBoxes pen & pencil box acid-free?
Yes. All colour variants and the TOUGH white grade are made from acid-free polypropylene, which means they will not react with or damage any contents stored inside. The smooth interior also wipes clean easily for regular reuse.
What material is the WestonBoxes pen & pencil box made from?
The pen & pencil box is made from PP5 polypropylene — a chemically inert, recyclable plastic that is acid-free, moisture-resistant, and durable. Available in standard transparent coloured grades and a TOUGH high-impact opaque white grade for environments where extra durability is needed.
Where is the WestonBoxes pen & pencil box made?
The pen & pencil box is designed, manufactured, and quality-checked at our factory in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. S.B.Weston Ltd has been manufacturing precision injection moulded products in south west London since 1948 — originally from a factory in Teddington, then on Platts Eyot, a small island in the Thames, before moving to our own factory premises in Sunbury-on-Thames in 2002. When you buy a WestonBoxes product, it is genuinely made in Britain — not just branded here.
