It is a Functional Marker
on March 13, 2025

[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.

Fantastic Marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All I can say is wow - this permanent marker has quickly become my go to writing device for work or at home. The ink is a great quality and doesn't smudge as I write out notes or make to-do lists. The ultra-fine point allows me to write in tiny spaces which is really nice when writing on pre-formatted pages like my weekly dashboard planner. The box came with 36 markers so I have plenty of markers at work and home! I will caution that this is a permanent marker and there can be some bleeding to the next page if the paper is thin or the user is pressing hard so please keep that in mind.

Pleasantly surprised
on March 13, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this marker. The quality of the ink is great it doesn’t smudge. I would touch the ink immediately after writing and it stayed put. The ultra-fine tip works very well compared to other markers of this style I’ve tried. For example it creates a nice solid line throughout while writing. And you can effortlessly write upwards which I’ve found can be difficult due to resistance with other markers. The quantity is just right. It’s enough to have in various places plus spares. I mainly used these markers with my daily planner and writing lists. I think the ease of writing with this style of marker was the most surprising for me and I was happy with it.

Non smearing marker
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: T.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are pretty great! They do not smear at all (which is a problem I’ve had with other brands). The ink quality is top notch and the ultra fine tip makes writing in small fonts a breeze. I will definitely never run out of these since they come in a 12 pack. I use these every day to write in my 5 year one-line-a- day journal as well as those of my 2 kids. I wanted something that wouldn’t leave an imprint through the page so markers with an ultra fine tip was a perfect option. They are wonderful for writing in a small space and don’t smear. I do have to be careful and not write too hard or the color will seep through the page.

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.

Wonderful pens
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: M.W.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these pens. They are ultra fine which allows me to use them everywhere from my signature on credit cards to labeling kids projects. They stay put and don’t bleed. I’ve swapped out several of my opens and use this as a replacement. I will buy more when I run out.

Ok Dupe
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: R.Y.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to others I like the amount of ink in the pen. I gave it to my kiddo to color on card board to test out the ink. It lasted the color session. I used it on the bags I use to vacuum seal and it did smudge a little but dried ok. I also used it at a party to mark cups. When it gets wet on hard plastic it kind of smears. The vibrant blue ink is nice and the grip of the pen is solid. It also takes awhile to dry out I left the cap off to test it. Overall I would say a good dupe.

They work well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t sure what to expect with a store brand marker I’ve used them in the past and they either bleed or dry out quickly. To my surprise neither of those happened. These permanent markers work well I used on regular paper and a glossy finish paper cardboard ziploc type bags and more. No issue with it writing effortlessly on any surface. The ink dries fast also. I teach a class weekly and the one test they have to do is on glossy finished dark paper and these markers have stood up to the test. I was pleasantly surprised and I would recommend.
