About Big Pencil Case
Standard pencil cases are great until your kid starts carrying colored pencils, highlighters, a ruler, and scissors alongside the regular pens. Then you're stuffing and forcing the zipper shut every morning. ZIPIT big pencil cases solve that - 40+ item capacity in the same patented one-continuous-zipper design, without adding unnecessary bulk.
These are the larger versions of ZIPIT's core pencil case lines. Monster Big Cases keep the googly eyes and character details with roughly 50% more interior space. Big Colorz cases use the triangle-print fabric in an expanded silhouette. Solid-color options give students maximum capacity without character designs. All of them unzip completely flat for easy access and cleaning.
Big cases measure roughly 9" x 5" x 3" - enough for a full set of 24 colored pencils, a handful of pens, a small ruler, scissors, and a glue stick, while still fitting inside standard backpack pockets. Materials are durable polyester and silicone, machine washable on cold. Every big pencil case is covered by ZIPIT's warranty against manufacturing defects (1 year standard, lifetime with free product registration at just-zipit.com/pages/lifetime-warranty). Free US shipping on orders over $35.
Q&A
Q: How is a big pencil case different from a jumbo?
A: Big cases hold about 40-50 items. Jumbo cases are larger still - 60+ items - and work more like all-purpose storage pouches. If you need maximum capacity, the jumbo is the better choice.
Q: What grade level is a big pencil case best for?
A: Popular from 3rd grade through high school. Younger kids often don't carry enough to need one, but once colored pencils, highlighters, and rulers enter the picture, the extra room matters significantly.
Q: Will a big pencil case fit in a standard school locker?
A: Yes. Even the largest big case styles are under 10 inches long and fit easily in lockers, backpack pockets, and desk cubbies.
Q: Can I machine wash a big pencil case?
A: Yes. Zip it closed, wash on a gentle cycle at 30C, and lay flat to dry. The polyester holds its shape and color through repeated washes.
Q: How much do big pencil cases cost?
A: Most are in the $12-$18 range - a few dollars more than the standard size for about 50% more capacity. Worth it once your kid outgrows the standard.
Q: Does a big pencil case fit a small ruler and scissors?
A: Yes. Most big cases have room for a 6-inch ruler, kid-safe scissors, and 40+ pens or pencils. Larger rulers may stick out slightly depending on the style.
Q: Are big cases available in Monster styles?
A: Yes. Monster Big Cases feature the same googly eyes and character details as the standard Monster Pouch, just with more interior space.
