WHOLESALE PRICING UPDATE

Why did prices on Blackwing pencils increase?

We’ve seen significant increases in the cost of materials used across our product line, including California incense-cedar, Japanese graphite, aluminum, and other key components in 2025. The cost of some of these materials have increased 300%. We’ve worked closely with our partners to minimize the impact, but adjustments are necessary to maintain the quality you expect from Blackwing.

What materials are used to make Blackwing pencils?

Genuine California Incense-cedar and premium Japanese graphite have always been and will continue to be the backbone of Blackwing pencils. While most other pencil manufactures have moved to lower-cost alternatives, we remain committed to the materials and craftsmanship that define Blackwing, despite challenges with the economy.

Do these pricing changes affect other products besides pencils?

Yes. Pricing updates have been applied to a range of products, including notebooks, journals, sharpeners, and gift sets - all of which have also seen significant increases in material and production costs.

When does this price change take effect?

New pricing goes into effect on May 9, 2025. All MSRPs in store an online should be updated before then.
