FAQ

• When was the built-in sharpener first introduced to a Crayola Crayon box?

  In 1958 the box of 64 Crayola Crayons was introduced. It was the first package to include a built-in sharpener design. We continue to manufacture this package design today in the 64 and 96 count Crayola Crayon package.

• Why don't Crayola Crayon label colors match the crayons?

  We currently use 12 different colored labels for CRAYOLA Crayons. The labels are purchased through an outside vendor and made of either vat dyed construction paper or printed paper and reforested wood. We manufacture more than 120 different Crayola Crayon colors, however, we do not have a crayon label to match each of these colors.

• What was the first crayon color produced?

  Before Crayola® Crayons were introduced, we produced black marking crayons in 1900. These early crayons, made with dry carbon black and various waxes, are now known as Staonal® Marking Crayons, widely used in industrial settings.

  
  

  Recognizing a need in schools for safe and affordable wax crayons, Binney & Smith created the first box of eight Crayola Crayons in 1903. Sold for a nickel, this box included red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, and black. The Crayola name was coined by Alice Binney, wife of company founder Edwin Binney and a former schoolteacher. It combines the French word for "chalk" ("craie") with "ola," meaning "oily."

• What is the best way to remove the label from a Crayola Crayon?

  Crayola uses two types of label adhesives, water-based and hot melt. To remove Crayola crayon labels, first try soaking the crayons in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Rinse and dry the crayons before using. If this method is unsuccessful, an adult can peel the label off by hand and use a dull knife to scrape off any remaining paper.

• Where did the brand name Crayola originate?

  The wife of the founder of our company, Alice (Stead) Binney, coined the name CRAYOLA Crayons. The name comes from "craie", the French word for chalk, and "ola" from oleaginous. This has been our trademark name since 1903 when our company was founded and remains one of the most important pieces of our heritage. The first box of Crayola Crayons was produced in 1903 as an 8 count box. It sold for a nickel and contained the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown and black.
