Design and Packaging

Pros:

• "The pens come nicely packaged in a box with 3 compartments."

Cons:

• "They are not in a nice gift set and are just thrown into the package."
• "A little disappointed because I thought I was getting the 24 pack because that's what the picture shows, but that's my fault for not fully reading."
• "Another graphic shows what the pens look like on paper and 26 colors are listed, which is weird."
• "On some of them there is an odd seam in the plastic where one would normally hold a pen so I don't love that, it makes holding the pen a bit unpleasant and it feels cheap."
• "They were just tossed in the box with no rhyme or reason."
• "I think I was expecting to open the lid and have the pens arranged by color but they are just dumped in 3 separate compartments which to me really isn't 'gift' box."
