[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would use these for the right price but I don’t love them. They are odorless to me which I LOVE. But for a fine tip I feel like they are not as controllable for writing. They don’t smear or bleed into the paper so that’s good! They are the right size for me to label packages but too big for writing cards and too small for labeling storage boxes. Honestly what makes me not love them is the way my fingers slip on the spot where I would normal hold a similar marker. (See photo.). But I will still definitely continue to use these as I received them as a member of Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Dries FAST

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really surprised how quickly the ink dried on things like sandwich bags and plastic cups! Practically instantaneous. The fine tip is really nice and precise. Great for marking my kids clothes. I was sent these to give my honest review and I’d highly recommend. In fact my friends stole several of them for themselves! Ha!

Smooth ink but bled through slightly
on March 13, 2025
Posted by: W.T.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Things that I loved about this pen: wrote super smoothly dried quickly so it didn’t get on my hand or spread on the paper nice fine tip. I’ve been looking for a pen that I could use to write in my daily journal and I love this pen for that EXCEPT it bleeds through regular paper slightly. If you don’t intend on writing on the back of a page then it’s great but not if you need to write on the front and back of a piece of paper. I also tried using it to write sticky notes to myself and it slightly bled through to the sticky notes underneath. I’m about to give birth and I do plan on using it to write on the wooden “Hello World” sign we got because it’s so fine tip that I think it’ll work perfectly for that. My husband is a paramedic and he took a couple to work with him and his only comment was he wished it came with a click end instead of a cap because it’s one less thing to keep track of in the back of an ambulance but he still liked it.

Pretty happy with these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 36 fine tip permanent markers? Count me in! I love a good black fine tip marker and can never have enough. One of the top ways I use such fine tips currently is to label bags of frozen breastmilk. Permanence is important because the bags go in the freezer for up to a year. The date is important for baby’s safety. I used these markers for a few days and liked the feel of the pen in my hand and the feel of the tip on the plastic. I do feel like the ink could be more pigmented but I was still pretty happy with the product. Dried quickly and feels like it will last.

Top Quality Ultra Fine Design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Duramark Permanent Markers deliver exactly what they promise and more. Packaged in a sleek red/white box these markers provide several noteworthy features. The Ultra-Fine Tip is Perfect for detailed tasks where accuracy is key—whether it’s labeling crafting or professional design work. i think the Ink quality is clearly a priority with Duramark. The markers produce crisp lines that endure the test of time all without overwhelming odors—a bonus for sensitive individuals. Non Toxic means Safety meets quality making these markers a great option even in my childs hands. Their ability to mark on “most surfaces” ensures wide applicability from paper to plastic to metal. With 36 markers in the box this set offers both quantity and consistent performance. I highly recommend and so does my child.

Good Markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Staples Duramark Permanent Markers with the Ultra Fine Tip and they worked pretty well for me. I like that the box comes with 36 so they will last a long time. I like the feel of how these markers write and the look they give. I have used them mostly for labeling around my office as the ultra fine tip is perfect for writing on anything small. I will say that when writing if you don’t immediately lift the marker off the paper it will bleed fast and leave a blob of ink. These do bleed through paper fairly easily which is to be expected with a marker. These actual pen casing is not the best quality. The lids are a little too hard to pull off and hard to put on the end of the marker when in use. I do like that the lid has the hook on the side for easier carrying. I’m not disappointed with them and will definitely continue to use. I would recommend them for anyone who likes to draw in marker or use for office needs.

A Reliable Marker for Every Task
on March 13, 2025
Posted by: E.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried up a dozen of the Staples Duramark Permanent Markers with the fine blue tips and I've been putting them to good use. First off the ink quality is solid. It goes on smoothly dries relatively quickly and the blue is a nice vibrant shade. I haven't experienced any significant fading or bleeding even on various surfaces like cardboard and plastic. The fine tip is exactly what I needed. It's precise allowing me to write or mark details without any issues. I've used them for labeling storage boxes marking tools and even for some detailed craft projects. The tip holds up well too without getting frayed or worn down easily. As for the quantity a dozen is perfect for my needs. I keep a few in my office some in the garage and a couple in my craft supplies. It's great to have them readily available and I don't have to worry about running out anytime soon. The value for the price is definitely there. I've used these markers for a variety of tasks. From simple labeling and marking to more detailed projects they've proven to be reliable and effective. If you need a good everyday permanent marker with a fine tip and a decent quantity the Staples DuraMark is a solid choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these markers for meal prep on washable stickers and on plastic bags. No smear or bleed through was noticed. I feel like the fine tip lasted and allowed superior accuracy. Good markers and nice black color.
