Our blockbuster Big 30 summer offer is back!
If you’re starting to think about stocking up for the new academic term, this is one back-to-school offer you won’t want to pass up. For the next eight weeks only, Tesco is offering the Big 30 pack for just £10 with a Clubcard (usual price is £20).
This is the fourth year of Tesco’s exclusive Big 30 offer – the equivalent of a summer blockbuster for stationery lovers. Fifteen Mildliner marker pens, 15 Z-Grip ballpoint pens in black, and – for the first time – blue ink too. Plus, you also get a free 50-slot pen stand, all with a massive 50% discount! Better get your skates on…
If you’re already thinking about new term routines, making lists of what to buy, and what needs sorting ahead of the autumn, the Big 30 offer could be a godsend.
What’s in the Big 30 pack?
The Big 30 mix of Mildliners and Z-Grips has been designed for maximum creative versatility, whether you’re journalling, writing up lecture notes, creating a new planner or studygram, or simply enjoying some creative drawing and colouring in your leisure time. Here’s what’s new for summer 2025.
The Big 30 Z-Grips: new barrel wraps
Where would we be without a Z-Grip in our tote bag, pocket or pencil case? Z-Grip retractable ballpoints are the everyday best sellers for students, teachers and parents alike, and the 1 mm nibs can handle everything from planning and organising to notetaking and mind maps!
Z-Grips are the marathon runners of Zebra pens: they are effortlessly smooth to write with, and the ergonomic barrel grip makes them super comfortable to use, even in stressful exam conditions. And with 15 in the Big 30 pack, you can afford to keep one handy in several places!
The 2025 Big 30 also features brand-new barrel designs that you won’t find anywhere else. There are three different black-ink wrap designs – polka dots, a classic Zebra animal print in an elegant latte shade, and a striking strawberry pattern (to remind you of summer). We’ve also included six soft-touch painted barrels in creamy-beige shades (black ink) and dark powder-blue (blue ink).
If you love collecting different barrel wraps, these designs are ONLY in the 2025 Big 30 collection – you will not find them anywhere else – so jump on them quick!
Mildliners – our multi-taskers!
With their winning combo of chisel tip for highlighting and bullet tip for detail, double-ended Mildliners are our must-have multi-taskers. You’ll find 15 of our most popular shades in the Big 30: the vermillion, gold and brown pens are ideal for inspiring early autumn spreads.
The bullet tips are bold but still fine enough for headlines, writing quotes, or colour-coding subjects and themes. Pair them with a blue or black Z-Grip ballpoint, and you can underline, highlight, annotate and illustrate.
Introducing the 2025 ‘cloud’ pen stand
Most creative artists love pen stands because they combine the aesthetic and the practical, bringing order, organisation and harmony to even the smallest workspace.
This year’s Big 30 comes with a free stand in the new limited-edition shade, ‘cloud’. It’s a subtly neutral shade, designed to complement any study space. Stands slot together easily, and once you’ve assembled, they’re both robust and easy to clean.
Why does the Big 30 stand have 50 slots?
The Big 30 comes with a bonus 20 extra slots – which means you can space and sort your pens and add in your other Zebra favourites. You can group by favourite colourways or store personal colour palettes for specific subjects or study topics, or a personal artistic project you’re working on.
Match-fit for the new term
Let’s face it, buying new stationery supplies – whether for you or the kids – is your reward for the stress of organising new shoes and uniform, making transport and meal arrangements, and booking childcare and extracurricular activities. Stocking up on pens, pencils and sticky notes, and organising your own art supplies to see you through the cooler months, is a feel-good moment of late summer – sweetening the pill of the stress of the start of a new term.
How do I get the Big 30?
This amazing offer is only at Tesco stores, and you’ll need a Tesco Clubcard to receive the 50% discount. If you haven’t got one, register for free online or through the Tesco app. You’ll need to be 18 or over to join. The Big 30 pack offer is in most larger Tesco superstores and Extra stores, but it’s worth checking that your local Tesco has them in stock before making a special journey. It’s also available online as part of a grocery shop if your local store stocks it.
A tidy desk is a tidy mind. It may be cliché, but a clean, serene and orderly workspace, with the laptop in the drawer and the pens put away, is a satisfying ‘full stop’ to your day.
Mindful tidying you’ll actually look forward to – with a Big 30.
