First, we launched NX5, which has a locking mechanism to secure the tip when not in use. Next, we followed up with NX50 (bullet point) and NX60 (chisel tip) markers – both of which have a simple, one-touch retraction system.

These products have opened the way for using permanent markers with more flexibility than ever before. For instance, quite often people use markers when they’re doing something else at the same time. Being able to advance and retract the tip with one hand makes life a bit easier. Our guys here in the warehouse at Pentel love our retractable markers! They’re portable and can be clipped on to your pocket, just like a ballpoint pen. No more losing caps or, even worse, losing the marker itself! There are countless ways you can use our marker to suit your needs.

At Pentel we have huge experience in permanent markers. They’re our best-selling products and the reason is simple: they’re the best that money can buy!
