www.bicgraphic.com

BIC® invented responsible designs.

BIC Graphic brings it to brands.

For more than 80 years, BIC® has designed everyday objects around a simple principle: making essential products that last: • Less material.

• Fewer components.

• Reliable performance over time.

At BIC Graphic, we apply that same thinking to branded products — objects people keep, use and remember.

Long-lasting products, delivering long-lasting impacts from 1950.

People do.
