Whether at university or school, at home or on your travels, at the office or on a building site – people write, colour and draw with pens everywhere. And they write a lot. So it’s especially important for a writing or drawing instrument to meet the ergonomic needs of the person using it.

That means, it has to make writing and drawing easier, favour a good posture, protect its user from cramp and prevent the hand from getting tired too early.

And these are exactly the reasons why, in developing its pens, STABILO works closely with ergonomists and fine motor specialists in order to achieve the optimum ergonomics.

Especially at a very young age, writing behaviour can be particularly positively influenced by the use of a suitable pen. The pen has to match the abilities and skills of the child and thus favour the correct posture. Weight, design, pen length, circumference, grip area and surface – the factors involved are many and dependent on the age of the child.

The biggest fans of STABILO and, at the same time, our biggest helpers in pen development are children, parents and teachers.

Outstanding examples of STABILO writing ergonomics, adapted to the writer’s age and stage of development:  

• the unique moulded grips in the triangular shape of the STABILO EASYcolors and STABILO EASYgraph,
• STABILO EASYergo learning pencil,
  
• right- and left-handed versions of the multi award-winning STABILO EASYoriginal refillable rollerball,
• The triangular form of the STABILO Trio Scribbi.

But many other of our pens, too, offer some quite special ergonomic features, ones that anyone who writes a lot needs to pay attention to – irrespective of whether they’re a child or grown-up:

• design for a relaxed posture,
• non-slip grip area for firm hold,
• balanced weight distribution for cramp-free writing.
