The J850 is the detectable gel ink pen built for environments that ballpoint can't handle, cold storage floors, refrigerated processing areas, and flour-heavy bakery environments where standard ink skips or clogs.

Engineered by BST using XDetect 2.0, the J850 is fully BRC Issue 9 compliant, metal detectable, and x-ray visible from body to ink cartridge. It's also the only detectable gel pen with Steritouch Silver-Ion antimicrobial technology built in, active against E. Coli, MRSA, and Salmonella for the entire life of the pen. Detectable gel ink pens that skip this are leaving a gap in your hygiene program.

The 0.7mm gel nib delivers a noticeably smoother writing feel than ballpoint, important for workers in gloves or cold environments where grip and control matter. Operates reliably from 21°F to 86°F.

Shatterproof, kosher and halal certified, and refillable with a fully detectable ink cartridge. FDA and EU food contact approved. Request a free sample at Service@BlueSupplyCompany.com.

Metal Detectable
The XDetect 2.0 compound includes a special formula of ferromagnetic additives that allow it to be detected by food inspection systems using metal detectors.

X-Ray Visible
XDetect 2.0 Plastic Compound includes a special density additive that makes it visible to foreign body contaminant prevention systems using X-Ray.

AntiMicrobial
The XDetect Material is made from a plastic that incorporates Steritouch Silver-Ion Additives. This technology makes the material AntiMicrobial (AntiBacterial, AntiViral, AntiFungal, etc) for the entire lifespan of the product. It protects against pathogenic viruses, germs, and moulds such as E-Coli, MRSA, and Salmonella. Looking for an AntiMicrobial pen that is Anti-Viral against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19)? Please see my article where I discuss the XDetect's AntiViral properties: AntiViral Properties of our XDetect Material

Impact Resistant
Made from a plastic that is designed not to shatter or snap. These materials make food production items safer and reduce the risk of foreign body contamination to your product. See for yourself with this video of BST hitting one with a hammer multiple times: BST Shatterproof Test

Stainless Steel Ink Cartridge
Made from high quality stainless steel body capable of writing over 30,000 feet. Designed for use in food processing environments from 41°- 86°F.
