The box includes 12 pens, each with black ink and a fine-point tip.
Details
- 12 gel-ink pens filled with black ink
- Premium quick-dry ink provides smooth, smear-proof writing
- Fine-point writing tip (0.7mm thickness)
- Ideal for everyday use
- Comfortably contoured rubber grip
- Retractable design
Premium Quick-Dry Gel Ink
The AmazonBasics gel ink pen comes pre-filled with high-quality black or blue ink. No false starts or scribbling needed—the premium ink flows evenly and consistently for silky smooth lines right from the start. Even more, the fast-drying gel ink allows for smear-proof results, and it offers excellent readability and clear contrast, especially against white paper.
Simply throw the disposable pen away when the ink eventually runs out (no need to deal with time-consuming refills).
Fine Point Tip
Create clean narrow lines with the pen’s fine-point tip, which offers a thickness of 0.7mm. The fine-point pen makes a great choice for almost any day-to-day writing task, whether at home, school, or the office.
Retractable
The gel ink pen comes with a user-friendly retractable design. Click the pen to expose the tip for writing, and then click it again when finished to protect the writing tip when not in use. Retractable pens make a great alternative to pens with removable caps, which can easily become lost or misplaced.
Comfortable Design
The AmazonBasics gel ink pen includes a contoured rubber grip, which helps promote a secure hold for optimal writing comfort, even during prolonged writing sessions.

Some of the best are heavily pigmented, like the red, but depending on your surface, you can prep it to get a STARTLING "very red" with a lot of glitter (I use a light stroke of color-less pencil on light paper).
These are simply magnificent! And unlike most glitter pens, I'm not shaking them, or getting 'glops' of ink by surprise. I'm not sure what they did to make these as consistent as they are (again, once swatched and you know what you're getting), but they're consistent, good flow, not too thick (thinnest I have, in fact). They really beautify crafts while costlier items are now collecting some dust. (I might add pics later. My priest was shocked with some illustrations I pulled off using these, though. Just sayin

===================================================
I used to primarily use staedtler ballpoint pens, but years ago after falling in love with gel pens I only ever use these ones nowadays. Yes the gel pens don't last anywhere near as long as ball points and ball points are way cheaper, but I really like these Amazon basic ones. I do a fair amount of writing notes and usually buy a box or two of these every 6-8 months or so. Each pen is sealed with a tiny red lump of wax or whatever it is - easy to pull off and can start to use straight away.
love the fact that as it gets towards the end you don't have to keep flicking the pen, as you would with ballpoints to get the last few drops of ink. Also general writing is very easy compared to ballpoint, especially if you like writing in small text sizes and I don't get writer's cramps as often with these pens.
The thing I don't like about these pens is that the ink doesn't always dry straight away, and if you turn the page over too soon, or put your hand over it, you end up smearing the ink. However, the ink is still good enough to use on both sides of the same page even on 70 and 80 gm paper. The other minor niggle is on some types of paper the ink doesn't flow like it normally does - it behaves like it's running out of ink, and comes out scratchy, but when you switch to normal paper it flows ust fine. Overall great gel pens. Over last few years the pens have sold between 8 and 10 pounds per box of 12.
