Following the success of their Exacompta pencil cases, which were introduced last year. ExaClair Limited, the UK subsidiary of the Exacompta-Clairefontaine Group, has expanded the range by adding a new selection of items to give customers greater choice. The versatile Teksto pencil case can be used in the traditional manner for carrying essentials or, with its innovative design, it can be easily converted to a pen pot that stands on a desk for easy access to the contents. Made from rPET (recycled plastic water bottles) with a recycled polyester lining that resists ink and dirt, this Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certified item is available in two colours; turquoise and water green, to match the Teksto filing and desktop items.
