Grab and go with a good inking marker
on May 2, 2025
Posted by: M.M.
from Estes Park
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two small kids and writing notes or labels in bold is a daily need. This marker pulls its weight for many tasks! As seen in the photo this writes fine or fat or even calligraphy style if you don’t make the effort to choose narrow or wide. The ink flows freely even in fast writing so no scrape marks where ink doesn’t have full coverage. That said it also doesn’t bleed out too fast. Flipping to the reverse side of the paper I don’t see it leaking to the other side (forgot a photo alas). I can label clothes with this write a quick bold note or even do letter work on a poster. I like that the cap spots squarely on the end during use and you don’t have to keep track of it sitting on its own. The feel in the hand is also nice— slightly more girth than a simple fine-tip marker or a pen so your brain intuitively knows “I’m holding a more serious writing instrument here ” hah! The only thing I can’t give an A+ for with evidence is how long the marker will last but if it turns out to be unnaturally short then I’ll come back to leave an updated or new review. Glad to have these in my pen jar!

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!

Great markers but a little too thick for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of these markers is that they are high quality and easy to use. The ink is solid and does not streak. There is not an extreme oppressive odor like some permanent markers. Personally their stroke thickness is just a little wide for what I prefer. The chisel tip works great but I’d prefer it to be a little more pointed so the accuracy and thickness is more diverse in the same marker. I used these markers to address large document envelopes. I had to redo it twice to get the precise angle right on the marker to where it wrote legibly. I like the ink quality to most about these markers and the fact that they do not smell pungent.

Duramark Permanent Markers from Staples
on April 25, 2025

from Youngstown
[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!

Great Markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great option for permanent markers at a good price. I use markers regularly for homeschooling and these are bold and clear. One marker has lasted me a long time which is important to me. I also love that these markers have very little smell unless you put your nose really close. Many times markers give me a headache from the scent when writing and I didn’t notice that at all with these. I did try these on skin as well because we are part of swim team and we usually write the kids’ races on their arms in permanent markers and the markers do bleed slightly on skin so it isn’t as crisp of a line. It isn’t enough to make them not useable. On every other surface I tried the lines were very crisp and only needed a little dry time.

Bold markers with no strong smell
on April 22, 2025
Posted by: K.A.
[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!

Awesome markers for the teacher mom

from Townsend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher and a mom these markers are amazing!! They write so boldly and smoothly with the fat or chisel tip option. They also don’t bleed or run at all! The design is easy and comfortable to hold and the cap fits in the bottom of the marker when using! I used these markers at home as well as in my classroom right away to label bags snacks projects write on posters and anchor charts. Throw one in your desk junk drawer wherever to easily grab and use! I was highly impressed with these markers and would definitely buy again as well as recommend them to friends and coworkers.

Big and Bold
on April 22, 2025

from North Salt Lake
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive these markers in the mail. The first thing I did was grab a piece of paper to scribble all over. The chisel tip was at a great angle to make the writing bold or thin depending on the side you use. These are the perfect markers for things like labeling moving boxes or writing on poster boards. Like you would expect from a permanent marker they did bleed through a bit to other pages but not too much. I was using them in a booklet and I wrote on one page I could see the marker through the backside but nothing really got onto the next page. I love that there are so many in a box. This is perfect for if you are having a small army help with your project or maybe you just never want to run out. My favorite part of the marker is that the color is a great dark hue. It stands out just as I would expect.
