Which Marker is Made for You?
Whether you’re colour-coding notes, creating art, or giving a presentation, the right marker makes all the difference. But with so many types—permanent, dry erase, highlighter—it’s easy to grab the wrong one and leave a mark (literally!) where you didn’t intend.
Let’s break it down and help you pick the perfect marker for every moment.
🖊️ 1. Permanent Markers – Bold. Durable. Unstoppable.
âś… Best for:
- Labelling boxes and containers
- Decorating glass, metal, wood, or plastic
- DIY crafts and long-lasting signage
Permanent markers are the warriors of the stationery world. Once you write, it’s there to stay—rain or shine. They’re waterproof, fade-resistant, and incredibly versatile. But with great power comes great… permanence. So be careful where you point them!
Quick Tip: Not for whiteboards or important documents. These don’t come off easily!
🧼 2. Dry Erase Markers – Smart. Sleek. Wipe-Friendly.
âś… Best for:
- Whiteboards (obviously!)
- Office meetings or teaching
- Temporary lists and reminders
Dry erase markers are made for moments that don’t need to last forever. Their ink sits on the surface, making them super easy to erase with a cloth or eraser. Perfect for classrooms, offices, or brainstorming sessions.
Bonus: They come in vivid colours and even magnetic versions!
⚠️ Avoid using them on paper—they’ll smudge and bleed right through.
🖍️ 3. Highlighters – Subtle. Bright. Focused.
âś… Best for:
- Marking key points in books or notes
- Study sessions
- Bullet journals or planners
Highlighters aren’t just for students—they’re the unsung heroes of productivity! With translucent ink, they let your words shine through while drawing attention to the essentials.
Available in neon, pastel, and even glitter ranges, they add style and structure to your notes.
✨ Study hack: Use different colours to group topics—great for memory recall.
🤔 So, Which Marker Is Your Match?
| Marker Type | Erasable? | Surface | Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permanent | ❌ No | Most surfaces | Bold & Long-term |
| Dry Erase | âś… Yes | Whiteboards only | Practical & Reusable |
| Highlighter | ⚠️ No (mostly) | Paper & books | Bright & Organised |
Still not sure? Ask yourself:
- Do I want this to stay forever? 👉 Go permanent
- Will I need to erase this later? 👉 Dry erase is your friend
- Is this just for emphasis on paper? 👉 Highlight it!
