A ballpoint is the perfect pen for when you just need to have a good reliable pen to hand, whether it’s in your bag, desk drawer or pencil case. They’re low-maintenance, long-lasting, versatile and most importantly of all, dependable. As a matter of fact, they’re the backbone of any good pen collection. At Milligram, we know about the importance of good stationery and stock a wide selection of any type of pen you could ever need including the trusty ballpoint pen. 

Why buy our ballpoint pens? 

Because ballpoint pens use oil-based ink, they can last much longer between refills than their rollerball or gel pen cousins. The ink in ballpoint pens is designed to dry immediately upon contact with paper. And because the ink used in ballpoint pens is so viscous, it is less likely to bleed through pages making it the perfect everyday pen. In fact, it’s perfect when you need a pen to write on any type of paper, whether it’s copy paper, glossy receipts, cardboard or synthetic paper.
