Gel Pen Guide – Test Results, Buying Tips, and Care in Brief

(1 November 2025) – A recent comparative test by the Shenzhen Consumers’ Committee evaluated 20 popular gel-pen brands to give consumers objective guidance. All samples met safety standards for harmful substances, while writing performance varied widely across three core metrics: endurance (maximum writing length), smoothness, and quick-drying ability. Eleven pens earned the highest five-star rating, and domestic Chinese brands took seven of those top spots, demonstrating strong quality and value that rival international names.

Practical buying and care advice to get the most from your pen: purchase from正规 retailers (department stores, supermarkets, or authorized online stores) to avoid poorly labeled products and to secure after-sales protection; check the cap for a ventilation hole (a safety feature for children); avoid strongly scented pens that may contain unnecessary chemicals; or simply follow the official five-star list when unsure. To extend a pen’s life, protect the nib from hard impacts, recap or retract the tip immediately after use to prevent drying, and store pens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
