What to know before buying

The listing gives both a 0.7 mm ballpoint size and a 0.38 mm line width. These are distinct measurements, and the claimed over-5-km writing distance and twice-standard reservoir capacity are manufacturer statements, not independently verified performance figures. Dimensions and weight are also listed without clarifying whether they refer to one pen or the pack.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People wanting three matching violet retractable ballpoint pens for everyday notes.

Frequently asked questions

How many pens are in the pack?

The title describes an envelope gift pack of three, and the listed unit count is 3.0 count.

What are the tip and line measurements?

The listing states a 0.7 mm ballpoint size and a 0.38 mm line width. These describe different measurements, so they should not be conflated.

Does the pen have a grip and clip?

Yes. A rubber grip and pocket clip are listed, along with a retractable design.

How long is the claimed writing distance?

The product description claims over 5 km, and separately says the reservoir provides twice as much ink as a standard ballpoint. These are listing claims rather than independently verified results.
