Crayola Wax Crayons

Crayola is an iconic American brand that has been synonymous with creativity and childhood art for over a century. Founded in Pennsylvania, the company revolutionized the art supply industry by introducing the first slate pencils and eventually the world's first non-toxic wax crayons specifically designed for children in 1903.

Today, Crayola remains a dominant force in the global art supplies market. While the brand has expanded into markers, colored pencils, and digital art tools, its primary manufacturing hub is still located in Easton, Pennsylvania, where millions of crayons are produced daily. To support global distribution, additional manufacturing facilities are utilized in various countries including Mexico for markers and Brazil for pencils.

Since 1984, Crayola has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards. This ownership has allowed the brand to maintain its focus on creative expression while benefiting from a large-scale corporate infrastructure. The brand continues to lead the market with a commitment to safety, innovation, and educational development.
