International 24 Count Crayola Crayons: What's Inside the Box

Crayola has been making International crayon boxes for a long time. I think the earliest international boxes in Crayola's history were made for Canada. They have expanded to all over the globe. These are two international boxes that I have, I hope to get some more someday, but for now these will have to do. These boxes come from Japan and Canada.

The Canadian box is in celebration of 25 years of Staples in Canada. For this promotion Staples ran a contest flying people to the Staples Center in Los Angeles and awarding them with money. I love how Crayola works with companies to promote special events. I know there is a Target box out there somewhere that I would love to get my hands on. The 24 is in silver lettering. There is nothing on the back that is any different for the celebration.

It is a good thing the bottom of the Japanese box is in English, because other than that I can not understand anything on the box. Most of the box is written in Japanese. I will have to find someone to translate it for me. I would love to know what it says.

It is interesting to note in the code numbers instead of a 52-****-0 it is a 52-****- J for Japan or C for Canada. This is how Crayola designates international boxes within the company. The contents of the boxes are exactly the same as far as colors are concerned.

Crayola Glitter Crayons: What's Inside the Box

Crayola started making glitter crayons in 1993 starting with an 8 count box. The glitter crayons have small specs of shiny material in them to help them sparkle when the crayon is used. They had been experimenting for many years coming up with Silver Swirls, their first attempt at glitter crayons in 1990.

Do I like the current glitter crayons? I like them but I love the Silver Swirls and the GemTones even more. There was something magical about the Silver Swirls. Since then Crayola has expanded the idea of glitter to chalk and glitter glue.

16 Count Crayola Pearl Brite Crayons: What's Inside the Box

The Crayola Pearl Brite crayons came out in 1997, one was a 8 count box and other a 16 count box. These crayons are similar to Silver Swirls crayons. They came out at a time when crayola was doing a lot of experimentation. They produce a soft luster on the paper hence the Pearl Brite name. The crayons are all named on an ocean theme with pearl at the end.

I never bought the Crayola Pearl Brite crayons when I was a kid. I was in high school by that point and probably worried about high school things. And I did not have a lot of money. I wish I would have bought them though and so many more boxes. There are some truly great boxes that came out around that time. Crayola was experimenting a lot with of different effects with crayons. I have not found a patent on this box, but they remind me of the Silver Swirl crayons. I picked up this Canada box from a fellow collector who is selling his entire collection. I wish I had the money and the room to buy his whole collection. This is my first international box of crayons. I am excited to have them. The other box comes from Stacy Hodges whose story is very similar to mine. She has a ton of crayons and has been collecting them her whole life.

The box design is different for the Us and Canada boxes. The Canada box is white, and does not contain a year on the box. It also has the word nacres on the front and French writing on the back. It references www.crayola.com/canada. The crayon wrappings are not colored. The US box contains the specs on the front, and the year on the back. The back is the same color as the front and the crayon wrappers have the same color as the crayon on them.
