Plastic pens are characterized by their:
-
Affordability: They are very inexpensive to mass-produce.
-
Light Weight: Easy to carry and use for long periods.
-
Versatility: Plastic can be easily molded into countless shapes and vibrant colors.
-
Disposable Nature: Many are designed to be thrown away after the ink runs out, though refillable options exist.
