PanPastelArtist Pastels by GOLDEN, 20 Color Palette Tray, Professional Artist Pastels

I haven't used them very much yet, but what I have done with them, they are fun to work with for a background. I've done one painting and finished it with colored pencils.

I wanted to store my boxes of pan pastels with minimal space. These pastel storage containers keep my pans safe and flat allowing me to stack easily and save a lot of shelf space. The see thru plastic allows me to choose the color much easier than when I stored them in boxes. Such a great find. I will be buying more in the future.

Perfect tray, with one cover, to hold Pan Pastels without having to open each one with every use. .

I much prefer this to store my Panpastels. Read instructions on how to remove the pans once they are in place, this is very important to not breaking anything. (Screw a lid onto the pan and gently pull to release) I don't really need to remove them on a regular basis.

It’s nice to see the pan pastels laid out and easy to access.

Switching from regular pastel to the PanPastel product is a challenge but these trays make it easy to store it anyway.

This tray is a wonderful example of product design, providing a perfect solution for a very reasonable price, if you use the pan-style pastels. These cases are simply a treat to use and I recommend them as a sound buying decision. Those pastels are bloody expensive, and worth protecting!

I am new to pan pastels, having just picked up my first set of ten in the painting colors. The reviews for this product were good so decided to make this purchase at the same time. The vinyl used in this is very clear, flexible, but not brittle. I believe it will work beautifully for a very long time, with moderate care in handling. The pans fit in snugly, and indeed may pose some problem in trying to remove them, so keep that in mind when you consider where you choose to place your colors. The lid seals off each pan area so that there is minimal cross contact of the colors. I had two of my pastel pans arrive with some crumbling on the surface. The other 8 were intact. I am not concerned that the pastels have lost value or use with the crumbling, but I was concerned that the powdered pigments would spill over the other pans. The lid construction prevents this from happening.Bottom line for me is that this is a reasonable price for a product that is of excellent quality materials, and very serviceable design.
