Permanent markers for labelling, crafting and everyday jobs
Every household needs a good marker or two. It puts a name on the drink bottle before footy training, labels the box of Christmas decorations headed back to the shed and adds the finishing touches to a craft project. Our range of permanent markers includes black fine point, coloured and metallic markers in single packs and multipacks, all at low prices you'll love.
Choosing the right permanent marker
Start with the size. Fine point markers suit small, neat writing like names on labels, so check the tip size on each product page against the job. Then think about how many you need. A two-pack fits in a school bag or kitchen drawer, while a 24-pack or 60-pack suits a craft table with a few kids around it. Each product page lists the surfaces a marker suits, so check it before you start writing on anything new.
Labelling at home and school
School households run on labels. A name on a lunch box and a drink bottle helps them find their way home from the lost property pile. The same marker turns a stack of storage boxes into a system you can read at a glance: Christmas decorations, winter blankets, school keepsakes. Keep a pack of whiteboard markers by the family planner for the jobs that change each week, and save your permanent markers for names and labels.
Adding colour to craft projects
Metallic and coloured markers are made for jobs like gift tags, rock painting and plain Christmas decorations that need a name and a bit of sparkle. Pull out a pack on a rainy weekend and let the kids get creative, then pair it with our art and craft range for the rest of the project list.
Permanent markers FAQs
What's the difference between permanent and whiteboard markers?
Permanent markers are made for labelling and craft, while whiteboard markers are designed to wipe clean, which makes them a good match for planners, calendars and to-do lists. Check the product page to make sure you've picked up the right one for the job.
What does fine point mean?
A fine point marker has a narrower tip, so it's handy for small, detailed writing like names on labels or tags. Check the tip size on each product page if you want to match it to a particular job.
Should I buy a single marker or a multipack?
A single marker or two-pack is easy to keep in a drawer, desk or school bag. A multipack suits craft afternoons, classroom supplies or a moving weekend when you've got plenty of boxes to label.
How do I look after my markers?
Pop the cap back on firmly after each use and store them somewhere dry. Follow any care instructions on the product page, as requirements can vary between markers.
