Good for most applications

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The markers come in a large quantity and would be good for an office or small business. The fine tip was great for labeling objects and taking notes but appreciated the box showing the other options of tips available if needed. The markers write really well were low odor and write on a variety of surfaces. I found the markers do take about 10 seconds to fully dry on slicker surfaces if touched before that the ink would smudge. Overall a good marker my only complaint is on hard plastic (such as food storage containers) I was able to fully rub the ink off with my finger after it had dried. I did find the marker to remain permanently on all other surfaces I tried. What did you think of the ink quality? What did you think of the fine tip? What did you think of the quantity? How did you use these markers?

Good option for permanent marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these markers get the job done. Based on appearance one would have expected the tip to be more fine. Ink also gives the impression that it could easily smudge or get wiped if touched soon after writing. I did not test the water resistance so I can't speak to that.

Sleek Great Fine Tip Writes Well
on March 17, 2025
Posted by: M.T.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial thought was that the permanent markers have a very sleek look and come in a nice clean package. I like that it is a cardboard box and there is no unnecessary packaging. All the markers fit well inside the box. The permanent markers themselves have a very smooth feel and have a nice weight to them not too light and not too heavy. I also like that they have a clip to attach to paper a pocket etc. The cap clicks on securely and I never felt like the cap would come off at the wrong time. I like that the whole marker is blue because you know what color it is no matter if the top or bottom is pointing up. While using the markers I never felt like the marker was running low on ink. One box would last someone quite awhile if they are the only one using them. As a mother of three children I feel like I'm always needing to write names on folders water bottles backpacks etc. and these permanent markers definitely got the job done well. When writing the ink was very smooth and the fine tip gave a thin line. Once the ink dried the ink never speared or transfered to other surfaces. The marker tip stayed fine and did not break down like some brands I've tried in the past. My only complaint with the permanent markers is that when using on paper they tend to splatter ink a little causing almost a dusty look at some edges. The slight splatter is not enough to really notice if you're not looking close however I could see it causing problems it you were trying to be very exact with your lines. When writing on other surfaces I didn't notice any extra ink splatter. A very minor complaint and the only complaint I have with the permanent markers overall.

It is a Functional Marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a permanent marker. Compared to other markers it's pretty good for a store brand. It was very pigmented and didn't bleed too badly. The size of the tip is nice for labeling as it's not too thick and not fine to the point where it is unnoticeable or illegible. My picture shows how it writes in comparison to a blue colored pen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Permanent marker was just as anticipated like quality to sharpies. Bold blue ink with good value. I used them for a memory craft book. Didn’t have bleeding however the pages in the book are thicker than copy paper for reference

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are great and exactly what I needed. The fine tip allows for really precise use and the blue color is vibrant. My kids love them for art projects too.

Solid option for a permanent marker
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: E.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are a great staple to keep at my desk. The fine point holds up even after lots of writing. They seem to not run out of ink quickly. I mostly use them for taking quick notes but I can see them being useful in the kitchen and garage as well. Only downside? I love cutesy stuff so I’d love a fun box or design on the markers.

Great permanent markers love the fine tip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great permanent markers true blue color and these have a finer tip than some of the other markers out there. You can make it thicker when writing by changing the angle of how you write. I use these for assorted labeling and highly recommend.
