Description

Unusual side note: Leaf Green and Brown markers arrived at our warehouse with no plastic film, which is great. But if you're wondering why the rest of the markers in your set have a film and those two colors don't, you're not alone - we wonder too. We'll keep trying to get ALL of the colors with no plastic film, but to date we have very little influence over the packaging decisions at Stabilo/Staedtler.

Stabilo 3-in-1 = Markers + Dry Erase + Watercolors all in one.

These. markers. last! (A very long time). They don't dry out because there are no caps to leave off, and unless you're making giant posters on construction paper, you rarely have to sharpen them. We've been using them for a couple years now on our warehouse whiteboard and have yet to need a sharpener.

Smoother and chunkier than a color pencil.

Turns into watercolor when brushed with a wet paintbrush (or fingers).

Use for drawing on dry-erase boards or windows. Wipes off easily with a damp cloth or sponge.

*FYI: Each marker is wrapped in a thin film to protect the marker tip and we don't have the ability to influence these manufacturers yet.

STABILO SHARPENER:

It's plastic, but it's the only one large enough (17mm) to sharpen this particular marker in a manner that does not break off the tip.

When the markers are primarily used for writing on dry-erase boards or glass/windows, they rarely need to be sharpened, which is great because:

A minuscule fraction of disposable plastic markers produced is collected for “recycling” (incineration aka waste-to-energy) while the rest exist as toxic pollution in landfills and waterways forever.

The End

You'll use them for ages, and then be left with just a nub of wood/wax at the "end". Probably best to put the nub in landfill. It's non-toxic, but at the same time, not a soil nutrient.
