The manufacturing of a pencil is depicted in the infographic. Overall, the process for the creation of a pencil involves multiple steps, commencing with raising the seedlings, followed by wood harvesting to prepare slats for pencils production and culminating in the packaging of painted, sharpened, stamped pencils.
To begin with, the seeds of woody plants which are sown in suitable ground, grow and turn into sprouts. Then, after four months, these sprouts are replanted, and transferred to a more spacious area so as to become saplings and develop more. Three years later when they are transformed into large trees, they are always kept in thinned shape in order to reach the greatest height for logging happening in the next 14 years. The wood, afterwards, is cut into similar thin slats which are covered with chemicals for long-lasting preservation.
In the next stage, after being dried for 60 days, the wooden sheets are sharpened to have desired grooves which are filled with glue. Following that, black leads are positioned respectively in every trenches and sandwiched between two slats. In order not to be felt during cutting into cylindrical-shape pieces, the wooden sheet undergoes a hard pressure and the heating. In the ultimate phrase, the pencils are sharpened, coated with various colours, and labeled before being bundled in a container for purchase.
