Artline Garden Markers, 0.8 mm Writing Width, Black, 12 Pack (EK-780)

This has been a game-changer for this old gardener. I'm finally finding the time to be organized in my garden and putting labels on the new plants I purchase so I don't mistake them for weeks in the spring! This maker is quite permanent and has not faded all summer. I purchased a second one to keep in the house as well! I feel it is well worth the cost and so far the quality is great. It does dry fairly quickly, much as I'd expect from any marker.

I've used the Artline Exterior markers, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GPWZ2MH?th=1 for a while now and have been really happy with their performance on plastic plant tags out in the sun. But the line width was a bit too large, so I got these. They have a much better tip for writing clearly on small tags. Though the reservoir is only about half the volume as the others, so I imagine they will have significantly less ink. Still, I think they will work better for my application due to the finer tip.

I’ve been a gardener for years and these are hands down the best garden markers for labeling my plants outside. They are weatherproof, and also have a long life. many longtime gardeners use these and they were recommended to me. I’m glad I found them.

I love these. These are the best outdoor market out there, stays through sun, rain, etc. Much better than sharpie industrial for writing on plant tags.

The markers work well for writing on plant tags.

I ordered these to keep up with all of the varieties of peppers and tomatoes I grow from seed every year. I've always had a hard tie finding a marker that would hold up outside. I wish I would have known years ago that Sanford was discontinuing their solvent based permanent markers, because since then, I haven't found one that really holds up to outdoor use. These Artline markers are doing better than any others I've tried, but after three months, I am starting to have a hard time reading some of them. They do write nicely, and don't have any foul odor, which makes them pleasant to use. I just wish they were longer lasting. In my opinion, if you're using these to mark plastic plant tags that only have to last from starting seedlings, to planting them in the garden a few months later, these will work fine. If you need them to a couple of seasons or more, I'd recommend using an embossing label maker. I just don't see the plastic tags I marked with these Artline markers lasting through the growing season and still being legible. On the other hand, if you're using wooden plant tags, these should hold up much longer, although the felt tips may not last along writing on them.

The only marker I know of to survive the AZ sun.

These are by far the best markers! Last a lot longer than most, doesn’t smear and last in the sun!

perfect and I never seem to lose them as so many arrived :-)

Für mich die besten dauerhaften Garten Marker....egal was für Wetter!!!

Lovely sharp nib which writes well on garden labels. Just what I needed.

My absolute must have garden/plant stake marker. No fade and have reused tags for 2+ years without sun fade. I much prefer these to oil pencils and the staedtler garden marker. The tips hold up much better to heavy use and don’t pill.

Great pens. Hope they ink doesn’t fade!
