Great Permanent Markers
on April 26, 2025
Posted by: K.P.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While at first glance the Staples Duramark Permanent Markers were not what I thought permanent markers "should" look like by the time I put it through it's paces these markers won me over. These are great workhorse markers and the design continued to impress me the longer that I used them. Due to the structure of the cap and the base this marker can confidently be placed either upright or upside down without the marker falling or tipping over. My favorite part of the marker is that the cap can also be snuggly placed into the base of the marker (making it look a little like a rocket to me 😆) which means that you don't have to worry about losing the cap. The strong durability of the entire marker also means that it would take a lot to break any part of it. Once I figured out the ultra fine tip (you have to write with it "backwards" at least the way I would think to write with a marker like this) I did see a definite differentiation in size between the three tips. Even so I will probably write with the fine or the chisel tip the most. Speaking of the chisel tip I LOVE it. It is so easy to get a big bold black line with it something that you can only get with markers that have angular tips like these do. Honestly the ink looks pretty bold however you choose to write with it which is great for labeling. The markers also wrote equally as well on multiple different surfaces paper plastic and cardboard. When it comes to permanent markers I mostly use them for labeling things boxes bags etc so these worked great for all of the mediums that I need to use them on. Unfortunately as with all permanent markers there is that permanent marker smell that accompanies it but it wasn't too bad. I didn't really notice it until the marker was pretty close to my face and I am someone that is pretty sensitive to odors. Overall I would give these markers a 10/10. Highly recommend. They have earned a permanent place in my office that's for sure!

Duramark Permanent Markers from Staples

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received these markers and as a busy mom of 2 got straight to work using them! Marking clothes for my boys marking bins to store toys and clothes that have been out grown; if it needed marking the duramark markers could get it done! They wrote smoothly didn’t bleed and stayed tough so I could continue using them for all my needs! The chisel tip helped to be able to mark big things or to be able to write small enough to mark the small things too. I enjoyed these markers so much and am thankful I have a 36pk to be able to keep up with marking things I need in the months to come!

Excellent bold chisel tip permanent markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thoroughly research all of my products before buying including reading reviews online. Since I appreciate the honest reviews I read I love giving feedback to help others. We are a military family that moves often so we use permanent markers a lot especially for labeling boxes! The packaging was sufficient for the markers without waste. My first impression was positive with the markers feeling like high quality sturdy markers and the caps attaching strongly as to not fall off accidentally. The chisel tip worked nicely allowing for either thick or thin bold ink. The ink easily transferred onto cardboard for easy-to-read writing. I used the markers for labeling cardboard moving boxes writing our name box number and contents. These were perfect for the job. I like that they were bold and thick with plenty of ink. I also liked that I could use the chisel tip to write the contents in a smaller font yet use the thicker tip to write the room label. With little kids it was important that the cap attached strongly too! I would definitely buy these markers. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with these Staples Duramark Tank Markers!

Great All Purpose Marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a nice classic chisel tip marker. Writes smooth with saturated color and dries quickly. Not as stinky as other permanent marker brands which I especially like. I’ll be using these markers often for various crafting projects and signage/labels for events.

Bold smooth and versatile marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Duramark Tank Marker Chisel Tip really impressed me. It’s super easy to write with and the ink is the deepest richest black I’ve ever seen in a marker. The ink goes on so smoothly and looks completely solid—no skipping or streaking at all. I love the chisel tip because it gives you a lot of flexibility—you can make thick lines thin lines or even get creative with a little calligraphy. It feels sturdy in your hand and writes effortlessly whether you’re labeling something or working on a project. Overall this is a seriously good marker that’s become a go-to for me.

Good value but average quality
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: C.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers looked great out of the box (all 36 of them!) and felt comfortable in my hand. Unfortunately the first thing that I noticed was that when I took off the cap and tried to secure it on to the bottom of the marker while I wrote it fell off. I tried again a few times but it kept coming unattached as I used the marker. Not a huge deal but would have been a nice feature. I also noticed that I had to push down harder than usual to get a solid bold line. In this picture the loop on the top line was writing with my normal grip and you can see that there are section that are not as bold. However if I pushed down a little harder (like on the second line) the ink was nice and bold. I do like the chisel tip and the ability write with varying level of thickness and this box of markers is definitely a great value for the price. I will definitely keep using them but I wouldn’t say they are anything particularly special. Would probably be a great buy for a classroom or an event where you need lots of markers and won’t be heartbroken if a few disappear.

Great value marker
on April 24, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these markers for everyday things like labeling my kid’s water bottle or labeling cardboard boxes for storage. The chisel tip works well on cardboard and other surfaces and I appreciate that the marker isn’t super thick and hard to hold onto like some other markers. They work great ink is bold and dark and seem like they will last awhile.
