agree  Ron Willems: niks mis mee, ténzij een ander team verantwoordelijk is voor de vulpotloden, de plastic/metalen potloden enz. - in dat geval is "potloden" te algemeen. er staat misschien niet voor niets "wood case" bij?

agree  Edward Vreeburg: tenzij ze in een houten doos zitten lijkt "potloden" me voldoende

houten potloden


Explanation:
Een "wood-case pencil" is een potlood met houten omhulsel, gewoon een standaard potlood dus. Zoek maar op "wood case pencils" (mét aanhalingstekens) op Google en druk op de Google Cache link voor de eerste hit.
