pen caps

Ballpoint protective covers

Pen caps are the removable covers that protect the tips of pens.

They prevent ink from drying out and keep the writing end from marking pockets or bags.

Most snap or click into place; some post on the pen's opposite end during writing.

The small holes in many pen caps are safety features allowing airflow if swallowed.
