What Is a Vinyl Eraser?
Vinyl erasers are block-shaped erasers that are used separately from a pencil. Since plastic erasers come in large blocks, they can cover more area than standard erasers. Vinyl erasers can edit and erase writing, drawings, and more from a sheet of copy paper or filler paper.
Although block-style erasers are larger than pencil erasers, they are compact enough to fit into most pencil cases and pouches. Polymer erasers are easy to grip and perfect for making corrections to school assignments, notes, sketches, and more.
What Types of Vinyl Erasers Are There?
Vinyl and polymer erasers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Although block-style erasers are the most common, there are other types of erasers with subtle differences in shape and material. Cap-style erasers and block erasers with beveled edges are also commonplace in the classroom and office. Additionally, most erasers are latex free to avoid aggravating anyone’s allergies.

What Can Vinyl Erasers Be Used For?
Vinyl erasers have a wide range of applications in the office and classroom. Block-style erasers are great to have handy while taking notes because they can quickly erase errors without tearing up the paper. Many artists prefer using block-style hi-polymer erasers with beveled edges because they can use sharp corners to correct finer details in their artwork. Students keep plastic erasers in their binders and pencil cases to use in classes like math and science, which require a lot of corrections and note-taking.
