The common ballpoint pen is a product of mass production, with components produced separately on assembly lines. [54] Basic steps in the manufacturing process include the production of ink formulas, molding of metal and plastic components, and assembly. [4] Marcel Bich (leading to Société Bic) was involved in developing the production of inexpensive ballpoint pens. [5] Standards [ edit ] In 1935 Ladislas Biro and his brother Georg (who was a chemist) set about designing a new pen. The instigator was Ladislas, who was editor of a small newspaper at that time, and was fed up with a b "The Difference Between Ballpoint, Gel, and Rollerball Pens | JetPens". www.jetpens.com.

Some ballpoint pens use a hybrid ink formulation whose viscosity is lower than that of standard ballpoint ink, but greater than rollerball ink. [30] The ink dries faster than a gel pen to prevent smearing when writing. These pens are better suited for left-handed persons. Examples are the Uni-ball Jetstream and Pilot Acroball ranges. [32] These pens are also labelled "extra smooth", as they offer a smoother writing experience compared to normal ballpoint pens.

The simple design is classless, no one would be embarassed to be seen writing with a Bic. It is the pen of the people. Marcel Bich also introduced a ballpoint pen to the American marketplace in the 1950s, licensed from Bíró and based on the Argentine designs. [4] [27] Bich shortened his name to Bic in 1953, forming the ballpoint brand Bic now recognized globally. [5] Bic pens struggled until the company launched its "Writes First Time, Every Time!" [28] [29] advertising campaign in the 1960s. [5] Competition during this era forced unit prices to drop considerably. [5] Inks [ edit ] Bich invested heavily in advertising, hiring poster designer Raymond Savignac in 1952. That year Bic won the French Oscar de la publicité award for advertising. [2] In 1953 advertising executive Pierre Guichenné advised Bich to shorten his family name to Bic as an easy-to-remember, globally adaptable trade name for the pen, which fit in with product branding trends of the post-war era. [5] Early Bic advertisements in France referred to the Cristal as the "Atomic pen". [6] Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the Bic Cristal's writing tip and ergonomic design helped shift the worldwide market for pens from fountain pens to ballpoints.
