Back in the day, you'd need bread to erase pencil markings. Yes, you read that right! Crustless bread was often moistened and formed into a ball to erase graphite marks.
Nowadays, we have rubber erasers of all shapes, sizes and scents. From artist's kneaded erasers to vinyl erasers that architects and engineers love, we've come a long way from crustless bread. We even have electric erasers that can do the hard work for us!
We have the British engineer Edward Nairne to thank for developing the first widely marketed rubber eraser around 1770. However, it was Joseph Priestly who discovered that "India gum," which was what rubber erasers were called, could be used to erase graphite markings. At that time, rubber did not have a long shelf life, so it wasn't widely used. When Charles Goodyear discovered vulcanization, rubber erasers lasted longer, making them readily accessible and practical for people who needed them.
When we think of erasers, we think of round or rectangle-shaped ones. But your brand is anything but boring, so we know your customers will love these 3D pencil top erasers. They're a budget-friendly way to market your business and delight your young and not-so-young customers. We have lots of existing animal-shape 3D erasers you can choose from, but if you have anything else in mind, please feel free to contact us.
