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

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.

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.

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!

These plastic trays look flimsy and easy to break. The tray holds and keeps the pan pastel securely for storage or use directly from the pan. Nice system.

I have two of these. I was a bit disappointed in the material...clear almost bendable plastic. It isn't like a solid pallet, which is what I expected. That said, I am glad I bought them. The pastel jars fit snugly and stay put. It is better then stacking them in a box, you can see your colors all at once. So I like them. I would just like them to be made with heavier plastic.

Purchased for a pastel artist. He stated these hold his pan pastels perfectly. He has two sets of 20 pan pastels which he plans to divide between two of these trays. This item is just what he wanted but could not find at local art stores. The price was very competitive and reasonable for the quality. Other reviewers spoke of possible flimsy quality. The artist who received this item told me that the trays hold his pastels and enable him to sort and work with the ones he chooses for a particular project, so the quality is just fine.

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

I love this format my pans are arranged by colors and they are not falling or moving around. Neat and so helpful. I recommend these cases
