Hi,

I'd so appreciate any help. I want to design and possibly manufacture my own pencil lines. I have Atlas pencil company willing to produce my pencils at .20 a piece but I was wondering if it would be possible to manufacture them myself. I thought I had a lead on foil wrapped pencils but it turns out this is not going to work because I need a round pencil to fit my designs and the pencil printer only printed on hexagons. This gentleman told me I need to search for a pad printer ? I really don't understand what it would take to manufacture these pencils or the start up costs. I'm thinking I should just go with Atlas....This is a last ditch effort to try to get information on possibly manufacturing the pencils myself. Thanks so much.......
