The 1.6 mm thick point creates broad, vivid black lines that are easy to read on lined paper, notebooks, and test forms. Proprietary Easy Glide System ink technology delivers smooth, consistent ink flow so students can write through long class sessions and homework assignments without the pen dragging or skipping. Teachers reach for bold black pens for grading papers, writing comments in the margin, and making annotations that stand out against student work. A retractable design means one click to start writing, with a comfortable round grip that gives students control through extended writing sessions. The built-in clip keeps the pen attached to notebooks and folders so it stays where students put it throughout the school day. Available in black and blue. A reliable choice for any school supply list, any teacher's classroom supply drawer, and any household stocking up for the school year. Review: Nice pens - Love these pens. They write so nice. Glide beautifully Review: Just like the Velocity - If you like how the Bic velocity writes, these are the perfect copy and cheaper. So happy. It's one of those pens where you just write a little extra because it's so smooth and bold and easy. Also, comfortable. I have fat hands and like a thicker pen, sometimes adding my own rubber grip. These don't need it. ## Features - BUY A BIC AND WE’LL GIVE A BIC: This back to school season, when you purchase BIC pens, we will donate one to teachers and classrooms in need. - BACK TO SCHOOL ESSENTIAL: One 12-count pack of BIC Glide Bold Black Retractable Ballpoint Pens, sized for a student's pencil case or backpack, a teacher's desk drawer for grading and marking, or a classroom supply cabinet stocked for the full school year - BUILT FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS: Bold 1.6 mm black ink creates broad, vivid lines that are easy to read on lined paper and test forms; teachers reach for bold black pens for grading papers and writing clear comments; students use them for formal assignments and everyday note-taking - ULTRA-SMOOTH INK FOR LONG WRITING SESSIONS: Proprietary Easy Glide System ink technology delivers smooth, consistent ink flow so students and teachers can write through long class sessions, homework, and grading without hand fatigue - ONE-CLICK RETRACTABLE DESIGN: Extend and retract the tip with a single click; the comfortable grip gives students control through extended writing, and the clip keeps the pen attached to notebooks throughout the school day - RELIABLE BLACK INK FOR SCHOOL AND CLASSROOM USE: Bold black ballpoint pens are the standard for formal schoolwork, standardized test forms, and teacher annotations from the first day of school through finals ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004F9QBDC | | Additional Features | Pocket Clip, Retractable | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,894 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #56 in Ballpoint Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | BIC | | Brand Name | BIC | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 13,650 Reviews | | Drill Point | Bold | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00070330185104, 00343538124740 | | Grip Type | full | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | … | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 1.6 millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 5.91 x 2.76 x 1.57 inches | | Item Type Name | Bold | | Item Weight | 6.88 ounces | | Line Size | 1.0-1.9 millimeters | | Manufacturer | BIC Corporation | | Material | Rubber | | Material Type | Rubber | | Model Name | Glide Bold | | Model Number | VLGB11-Blk | | Pattern | Pen | | Recommended Uses For Product | Note Taking, Writing | | Style | w/ Bold Point (1.6mm) | | UPC | 343538124740 300717562908 343538034070 070330185104 300717560232 343538284666 300717565053 | | Unit Count | 12 Count | | Warranty Description | Contact Manufacturer | | Writing Instrument Form | Ballpoint Pen | | Writing Technique | ballpoint | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** BIC - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Ballpoint Pen ## Images ![Glide Bold Black Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point, 1.6 mm, 12-Count - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zF43mAzkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Number Of Items** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: When you say 1.6mm bold, do you mean the width of the writing is that wide?** A: 1.6mm equals .063 of an inch. That number is the width of the pen that you would be holding in your hand. That would be pretty cool if they made a pen that writes that wide, it would use alot of ink. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out. **Q: What's the difference between this (Atlantis Velocity) and the Velocity pen?** A: The Atlantis Velocity Bold and the Velocity Bold are the same pen. The Velocity Bold is now known as Atlantis Velocity Bold. **Q: Is this a gel pen?** A: It is not a gel pen. It is a ball point pen with an extra large ball that produces think lines similar to a gel pen. **Q: Are there refills for this pen?** A: I don't know but the price point is low and they write wonderfully. Clear and bold. I hope this helps.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice pens *by B***H on July 28, 2026* Love these pens. They write so nice.
