For over 100 years, the Crayola name has stood for creativity, imagination, innovation and family fun. It is an icon of childhood, and a name parents trust. The Crayola brand has grown into one of the most respected and recognized brands in the consumer marketplace.

Today consumers equate the brand with colour, fun, quality and development--all the characteristics that are reinforced in our growing product line which includes crayons, markers, coloured pencils, paints, modelling compounds and craft and activity products for use in schools and homes. The brand has come a long way since the first box of 8 Crayola crayons made its debut in 1903. Currently the company makes more than 100 different crayon colours, a multitude of colouring materials and three distinct brands.

The company behind the Crayola brand came into being when cousins Edwin Binney and C Harold Smith took over Edwin’s father pigment business in 1885. Today, Crayola’s world headquarters and major manufacturing facilities are located in Pennsylvania and the European headquarters are located in Bedfordshire.

In 1984, the company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards and has since played the lead role in Hallmark’s personal development strategies.
