In the late 20-th a new epoch
in the pencil’s history began. It stopped to be only a writing instrument,
its applications became wider.
Wooden cosmetic pencils for brows were the first followed by wooden
pencils for eyes (kajal, liner). In 1931 Schwan-STABILO launched
a French Manicure wooden pencil (nail white pencil). Lipliners became
popular only about 40 years ago. In the early 70's Schwan-STABILO
devloped different, new production methods and so the term "pencil"
became more general. Among these production methods are for example
the pro-molded technology and direct molded technology. This production
process enabled Schwan-STABILO to produce softer leads with a softer
and smoother application, new types of casings, absolutely new products,
all united by a new idea – a pencil idea.
A little bit on technology.
