Two new stationery products are set to take the classroom by storm as Mitsubishi Pencil Co. reveals its latest Back to School offering.

The pencil case is to be given more space as the magical uni-ball Fanthom arrives to replace the need for messy correction fluid and tape.  Educated starlets young and old will be amazed by the Fanthom's ability to easily erase text by using the pen's cap to remove handwritten notes.  Available in six different colours, the Fanthom is sold loose and in a variety of single, twin and triple pack formats.

uni-ball Signo Scents are another great addition to the pen pot.  A collection of ten pens that smell fruity and sweet, they have fast become the talk of the playground as children collect them to write essays that stink and draw pictures that pong.  Handwriting has never smelt so good thanks to the eye catching packaging, point of sale materials and a dedicated microsite that supports the range.  Pens are sold individually and in packs of three or five.

Stuart Barker, marketing manager at Mitsubishi Pencil Co., said: "These new products expand our already extensive Back to School offering, which includes the ever-popular Jetstream and Signo ranges.  With exceptional offers available in our Back to School / College promotion, retailers should take stock now to ensure their shelves are filled with today's most sought after and innovative writing instruments."
