{{pp|small=yes}} {{Short description|Container used to store pencils and other stationery}} {{Redirect|Pencil box|the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] television programme|Pencil Box}} [[Image:Skolni penal.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A pencil case]] {{commons}} A '''pencil case''' or '''pencil box''' is a [[wikt:container|container]] used to store [[pencil]]s. A pencil case can also contain a variety of other [[stationery]] such as [[Pencil sharpener|sharpener]]s, [[pen]]s, [[glue stick]]s, [[eraser]]s, [[scissors]], and [[ruler]]s. Pencil cases can be made from a variety of materials such as [[wood]] or [[metal]]. Some pencil cases have a hard and rigid shell encasing the pens inside, while others use a softer material such as plastic, [[leather]] or [[cotton]]. Soft versions are typically fastened with a [[zipper]]. Early pencil cases were round or cylindrical in shape. Some early pencil cases were decorated with [[jasper]] (one from 1860) or [[platinum]] (from 1874).<ref>{{cite book | last =Nadelhoffer| first = Hans| title =Cartier| publisher = Chronicle Books| year = 2007 | page = 201| isbn = 978-0811860994}}</ref> ==See also== {{Wiktionary|pencil case|pencil box}} * [[Pencil]]s * [[School]] * [[Pencil sharpener]]s * [[Marker pen]]s * [[Pen]]s * [[Suzuri-bako]] (Japanese writing box) * [[Eraser]] ==References== {{reflist}} {{commons cat|Pen and pencil cases}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Pencil Case}} [[Category:Containers]] [[Category:Stationery]]
