Folks,

Dumb question time, What does the term postable vs non postable in a pen?

 

[maxwell_smart007]

postable - cap can be placed on the other end of the pen when writing (usually threaded).

non-postable - cap does not attach to other end of pen - it has to be set on the table when writing

Interesting tidbit about this subject.

Americans what postable caps.
Europeans do not post their caps. The reason is so no body steals their pens when they lend the for someone else write with them (rollerball).

Wow, that is a nice little tidbit and a new selling method for explaining why it is worth buying.
