A familiar writing tool, made memorable
Useful at the desk. Different after it.
BG03 keeps the format simple: five 2B pencils in a compact recycled-paper tube. It works for event giveaways, activity packs and welcome kits where a practical object matters as much as the handover.
Each pencil is the same object bioQ sells singly as BG01 — a body of 100% recycled paper in place of a wooden barrel, a 2B graphite core, edible outer colour, and a starch seed capsule at the non-writing end. The seed variety is printed along the body, so nobody has to guess what they are planting. Five is the count that reads as a set without becoming a bulk pack: enough to share around a desk or a family, small enough to slip into a kit.
Sets are supplied as an assorted mix of varieties by default. A single variety, or a chosen combination, can be requested and is confirmed against availability for the order.
Where BG03 fits
The set that still fits in a kit.
A tube weighs about 60 g and measures 2.5 × 2.5 × 20 cm, and a carton holds 500 tubes — two and a half thousand pencils in one box. It is the middle option between a single pencil and the twelve-piece tube.

After use
A small planting ritual.
- 01
Use the pencil as you normally would. It sharpens in an ordinary sharpener.
- 02
When it is too short to hold, press the seed-capsule end into moist soil in a pot or bed, capsule downwards.
- 03
Water it, keep the soil moist, and give it the light and care the printed variety needs.
Germination depends on the seed variety, seed condition, storage, soil, water, light, climate and care. bioQ does not publish a germination percentage and treats planting as part of the gift rather than a guaranteed outcome. There is more on this in the plantable gifts guide.

Questions
Useful before you brief us.
What is included in the BG03 pencil set?
Five recycled-paper 2B pencils, each with a starch seed capsule at the non-writing end, supplied in a recycled-paper tube. Each pencil has a body of 100% recycled paper instead of a wooden barrel and an edible colour coating.
How is BG03 different from BG01 and BG02?
They are the same pencil in different quantities. BG01 is a single pencil at ₹11.70. BG03 is a five-pencil tube at ₹85. BG02 is a twelve-pencil tube at ₹162. Choose by how the gift is handed over rather than by the pencil itself.
Which seed varieties are supplied?
The variety is printed along each pencil, and the range includes tomato, basil, coriander, marigold, sunflower, spinach, mustard and okra. Tubes are supplied as an assorted mix by default; a single variety or a chosen combination can be requested and is confirmed against availability for the order.
How do the pencils become plantable?
Use the pencil until it is too short to hold, then press the seed-capsule end into moist soil in a pot or bed, capsule downwards. Water it and keep the soil moist.
Will the seeds definitely grow?
No. Germination depends on the seed variety, seed condition, storage, soil, water, light, climate and care. bioQ does not publish a germination percentage and treats planting as part of the gift rather than a guaranteed outcome. There is more on this in the plantable gifts guide.
Can the tube and the pencils carry our logo?
Yes. The recycled-paper tube carries a wrap that can hold a logo, a campaign line or planting instructions, and the pencil bodies can be printed along their length next to the seed name. bioQ works at three levels: standard branding on the existing product, adapted colour, artwork or packaging, and developed work where the product itself changes.
Do the pencils write properly?
Yes. The core is 2B graphite, so it writes dark and smooth rather than as a token. The recycled-paper body sharpens in an ordinary sharpener.
How does BG03 ship in bulk?
A tube is 2.5 × 2.5 × 20 cm and weighs about 60 g. A carton holds 500 tubes, which is two and a half thousand pencils in one box.
What is the minimum order and lead time?
Corporate orders start from a total order value of ₹25,000. Many standard orders complete in 5–7 working days; the final time depends on quantity, branding and packaging.
