Great for work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very reliable markers! I use a LOT of markers like this for work for organizational purposes and these were great for labeling on a variety of surfaces for our recent event. It's great to have the chisel tip because you get the option of writing with the thin tip or more boldly with the marker edge. We mainly used these for writing on cardboard boxes and blue tape and they withstood a lot of use. Sometimes markers start losing their boldness especially on cardboard but these were great. I also love having a bulk pack because office supplies like these tend to disappear with various staff members using markers and not returning them to their home. It was definitely helpful to have a bunch of extra markers at each of the main stations for our event for last minute labeling or signage!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples permanent markers that I tried have worked great for me. The fine tip is truly fine making it easy to write small and legible. The package came with 36 so they will last me a long time.

Best Markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Duramark Tank Marker has quickly earned a permanent place in my home and workspace! As a mom of three and someone who’s constantly labeling bins organizing school supplies and tackling craft projects I rely on markers that are not only bold and long-lasting but also easy to use. These chisel-tip markers absolutely deliver—and then some! From the first time I picked one up I could tell the design was thoughtfully done. The body is slimmer than many traditional tank-style markers making it incredibly comfortable to write with—no bulky grip or hand strain even when I’m labeling 20+ storage bins during a weekend organizing spree. The chisel tip is firm and precise allowing me to switch seamlessly between broad strokes and fine lines. Whether I’m writing names on clothing tags creating folder labels or designing craft signage the result is always crisp dark and professional-looking. What impressed me the most though is the durability. I’ve been using the same marker consistently for weeks and the ink is still as bold and saturated as day one. No drying out no fading and no need to “revive” the tip like I’ve had to do with other brands. It just works—beautifully and reliably. I’ve tried all the big-name brands and plenty of generic versions over the years but nothing compares to the quality and consistency of these Staples Duramark markers. They’ve exceeded every expectation—and the fact that this set includes 36 means I’m stocked for months to come (and I’ve already tucked extras into the car the kitchen drawer and my craft cabinet!). If you’re looking for markers that can keep up with your busy life—whether that’s labeling everything in sight or diving into creative projects—these are the ones. I’m seriously impressed with their performance and staying power. I want to thank the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to try this product!

Quality marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the Duramark Tank permanent markers worked clearly on different surfaces with bold and solid ink. The chisel tip made it easy to switch between narrow and wide fonts. I found it worked really well on cardboard boxes paper and plastic bags. It took a minute for the ink to dry on plastic surfaces and could smear if touched too early but once dried the ink stayed in place and was vibrant. Overall a great permanent marker for home school or office use.

Bold markers with no strong smell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved using these markers in my recent move. I used them to label all of my moving boxes. Having a multi pack meant that I never was stuck looking for a marker. The color is bold and easy to read. I love the firmness of the chisel tip. It kept it's shape and doesn't wear down easily. My favorite thing about these is there is no strong odor that you get in other markers!

No Bleed Thru QUICK DRY
on April 22, 2025

from Azle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these markers free as part of a promotional through Stellar Panel. These are actually pretty nice markers as far as markers go. I can leave the cap off for extended periods of time without them drying out which is useful when I’m doing large projects. To test the markers sharp side the first thing I used the marker on was to jot down a note to myself in a notebook. As soon as the marker hit the paper I noticed that there was no “spread” so the letters were nice and discernible. Secondly it did not bleed through to the page beneath so that was also nice. I do have a light hand though so if your hand is a bit heavier (as far as writing goes) it may bleed through. Next I also used the marker to write the names of each of my 3 dogs on some new plastic dog bowls I purchased using the broad side of the marker. There was minimal drying time and I didn’t notice any “pooling” where the marker is lifted at the conclusion of a letter. Typically this “pooling” area is where it would take the longest to dry and because there was no pooling the marker ink stayed put without smearing. This is almost impossible when writing on plastic with a permanent marker so I was kind of impressed with that. I will say that unless you’re planning on sharing this pack of 36 (or you happen to use permanent markers a lot) you’re going to have markers for the rest of your life. I use them for almost everything from writing on xmas gifts to making bold notes for myself and my family and everything in-between so this pack may last me one or two years. I do not have any comments for price point versus quality but would recommend the product to my co-workers or anyone else for that matter.

Bold and surprisingly long lasting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t expecting to care this much about a box of markers but these honestly impressed me. I’ve been using them for everything from labeling storage bins to making quick signs and even some craft projects with my kids. The chisel tip is super versatile—it lets me write big and bold when I need to but still works for smaller labeling tasks without getting too messy. The ink is dark and dries quickly (a win when you’re moving fast and don’t want smudges). And they last longer than I thought they would—I’ve gone through a bunch already and haven’t had one dry out on me yet. Overall they’re just solid markers that work well and don’t let you down. Definitely glad I got the big pack.
