Kneaded erasers are made from rubber.

They are intended for charcoal, pastel, and chalk and are used to lift, lighten, blend, and make precise corrections.

Common package quantities include 2-, 6-, 8-, 12-, 18-, and 24-count packs, ranging from small multipacks to bulk options.

Scented erasers are often individually packaged in snap or snap-and-seal cases, miniature suitcases, or sealed containers designed to lock in or preserve the scent.

Kneaded erasers are described as long-lasting and reusable; the pliable material can be reshaped repeatedly and refreshed by pulling or twisting to expose a clean surface.
