Writing
Writing is a fundamental process in human communication because it allows us to transmit ideas, emotions and knowledge to those around us. This learning should be acquired from childhood to help us in the development of this stage and throughout our adult life.
One of the pillars for the Pelikan brand is writing, we were born from it!. As we are aware of the impact on people’s lives, we always seek to have the best products no matter the age or the use we want to give them.
griffix is the best example of this commitment. A concept developed with professionals and adapted for the different learning stages, from pre-school to the first years of elementary school. As writing is a universal concept, we cover all needs, from griffix to our most exclusive range, Souverän.
To communicate, to express ourselves, we use all the means at our disposal, such as: fountain pens, ballpoint pens, fineliners, highlighters and markers. You will find all these in our portfolio of products and they will help you in your personal development and expression.
Handicraft
How important are handicrafts for children? They help develop essential life skills that will be with them for years to come. They are fun and interactive activities to put into practice common situations with which they must face now and in the different stages of their lives.
They help with self-expression, confidence and independence, fine motor skills, problem solving, social skills and critical thinking.
At Pelikan we believe that all this is possible and that is why we are focused on offering the best solutions for the development of these skills. So children can learn and evolve with our modeling line or with scissors designed for their physical skills and abilities, or with the rest of products that are part of our product portfolio.
Colouring & Painting
Coloring is not just a classroom activity, coloring is a bridge that helps children and adults develop cognitively, psychologically and creatively. It is an opportunity to express oneself, stimulating the imagination in everything we do.
What are the main benefits? It improves handwriting, improves focus and visual and motor coordination, helps to generate patience, relaxation and self-esteem, generates focus, boundaries, structure and spatial awareness, and generates awareness and recognition of the various ranges of colors that are present in our world.
Since our beginnings at Pelikan, more than 185 years ago, we have focused on working hand in hand with our consumers to develop inks and products that help them and enhance their personal development, always leaving a legacy for the future.
Filing products
Organising, protecting and presenting documents are often perceived as tedious and stressful chores. Our wish is to provide our customers with tools to turn organising into a motivating and liberating activity.
We always listen to our users and we develop and market one of the widest ranges available, to offer solutions tailored to meet all filing requirements.
We continuously innovate and our teams are always on the lookout for simple, intuitive solutions to make life easier for consumers: EazIn punched pockets, reinforced notebook protectors, punched-pocket notepads, portable classifiers and so on.
