The pens have clear barrels that show the ink, colored caps with clips and metal cone tips. Shuttle Art's store calls it "Unique Colors Gel Pens - Set of 120". ## How popular is it? **It's Shuttle Art's most-rated stationery product.** On October 23, 2026, the listing showed 4.5 stars from 21,033 ratings, No. 1,806 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing and No. 18 in Drawing Pens. Amazon's review summary says buyers enjoy the big color range, especially for adult coloring books. Feedback on ink flow is mixed: some pens write smoothly, while some buyers report pens that don't write at all, ink that runs out quickly and pens that break. The brand is bigger in paint and markers: its 36-color acrylic paint set showed 11,500 ratings and "20K+ bought in past month", and its alcohol marker sets more than 13,000 ratings. This guide covers only the gel pens. ## Shuttle Art 120 gel pen specs | Spec | Shuttle Art 120 Unique Colors | |---|---| | Pens | 120, no duplicate colors | | Ink types | Glitter, neon glitter, metallic, neon, pastel, swirl, standard | | Ink | Water-based gel, per Amazon | | Tip | 0.8–1.0 mm bullet tip | | Barrel | Clear, with a replaceable refill | | Safety | Non-toxic, acid-free, ASTM D-4236 | | Case size | 13.58 × 6.1 × 2.2 in (345 × 155 × 56 mm), per Amazon | | Weight | 200 g, per Amazon | | Price band | $ (under $5 per pen) | Shuttle Art doesn't say how many pens fall into each ink type. ## Which ink types are in the set? **Seven: glitter, neon glitter, metallic, neon, pastel, swirl and standard, per Shuttle Art.** It doesn't describe each type further, so check our test slot below for how they look on white and black paper. A 0.8–1.0 mm tip lays a broad line, so these suit coloring and lettering more than small handwriting. For fine writing, a 0.5 mm gel pen is the usual pick. ## How does it compare with Sakura Gelly Roll? **Shuttle Art gives you far more colors for the money; Gelly Roll publishes its tip sizes and has decades of reviews.** ![Shuttle Art gel pen tip of 0.8 to 1.0 mm drawn to scale next to Sakura Gelly Roll 05, 08 and 10 tips of 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 mm](https://stationerytimes.com/images/shuttle-art-gel-pens-tips.svg) *The Shuttle Art tip matches the Gelly Roll Medium and Bold sizes.* | | Shuttle Art 120 | [Sakura Gelly Roll](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/sakura-gelly-roll/) | |---|---|---| | Tip | 0.8–1.0 mm | 0.5, 0.8 or 1.0 mm | | Colors | 120 in one set | Sold in sets and singles | | Brand base | China (Amazon-first) | Japan | | Price band | $ | $ | Our [best gel pens](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-gel-pens/) roundup and [best white gel pens](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-white-gel-pens/) cover pens for everyday writing and for black paper. ## Which sizes can you buy? **The same listing offers 120, 240 and 360 pens, plus 122- and 130-piece versions with a coloring book.** Shuttle Art's store also sells a 60-color set with 60 matching refills and a 240-piece glitter set. ## Who makes Shuttle Art pens, and where? **Shuttle Art is a Chinese-owned marketplace brand, and it doesn't say where the pens are made.** The USPTO lists the SHUTTLE ART trademark, registered April 18, 2017 and renewed July 15, 2026, as owned by Hangzhou JMing Imp & Exp Co., Ltd. in Hangzhou's Binjiang District, Zhejiang. Shuttle Art's About page says it started by supplying school and art supplies to other brands, then launched its own brand in 2016. Its Amazon seller profile gives the same Hangzhou address, and its store lists a US phone number. Amazon's Product information gives no country of origin, so we list it as not stated. ## How much does it cost? **It's in our $ band: divided by 120 pens, it comes to well under $5 a pen.** Amazon and Shuttle Art's store both sold it when we checked on October 23, 2026. If you want a handful of everyday pens rather than a 120-color set, the [Writech Nebula](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/writech-nebula-gel-pen/) is another Amazon-first gel pen, sold in 6-packs. ## Frequently asked questions ### Are all 120 Shuttle Art gel pens different colors? Yes. Shuttle Art sells it as 120 unique colors with no duplicates, across glitter, neon glitter, metallic, neon, pastel, swirl and standard inks. ### What tip size are Shuttle Art gel pens? Amazon lists a 0.8–1.0 mm bullet tip. That's a medium-to-bold line, closer to a Gelly Roll 08 or 10 than a fine 0.5 mm pen. ### Can you refill Shuttle Art gel pens? Shuttle Art's listing photos show a replaceable refill inside the clear barrel, and it sells sets with 60 matching refills, but single refills by color aren't listed. ### Are Shuttle Art gel pens good for adult coloring books? That's what they're sold for. Amazon's review summary says buyers love the color range for coloring books, while some report pens that don't write and ink that runs out quickly. We haven't tested them yet. ### Are Shuttle Art gel pens non-toxic? Shuttle Art says they're non-toxic and acid-free and conform to ASTM D-4236, the US labeling standard for art materials. ### Who makes Shuttle Art? The SHUTTLE ART trademark is owned by Hangzhou JMing Imp & Exp Co., Ltd. in Zhejiang, China. Shuttle Art says it supplied art supplies to other brands before launching its own in 2016. ### Do Shuttle Art gel pens work on black paper? The metallic, neon, glitter and pastel inks are the ones meant to show on dark paper; for solid white lines a dedicated white gel pen covers better. ## Sources - [Shuttle Art store: Unique Colors Gel Pens - Set of 120 (120 colors, 7 types, SKU SA GP120; read October 23, 2026)](https://shuttleart.com/products/unique-colors-gel-pens-set-of-120) - [Shuttle Art: About Shuttle Art (brand since 2016, earlier a supplier to other brands)](https://shuttleart.com/pages/about-shuttle-art) - [Amazon: Shuttle Art 120 Unique Colors (No Duplicates) Gel Pens (ratings, rank, Product information: model 963258, UPC, 0.8–1.0 mm tip, water-based ink; read October 23, 2026)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GLS0C2K) - [Amazon seller profile: Shuttle Art (business address in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang)](https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A4YKSJ25VQ2PM) - [USPTO TSDR: SHUTTLE ART, serial 87092629, registration 5184921 (Hangzhou JMing Imp & Exp Co., Ltd.)](https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87092629&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch) - [Shuttle Art store: Gel Pen Set, 60 Colored Gel Pen with 60 Refills - Set of 120](https://shuttleart.com/products/gel-pen-set-60-colored-gel-pen-with-60-refills-set-of-120)
