Marker packs commonly include broad/bold tips, fine tips, chisel tips, and double/dual-ended tips that provide both thick and thin lines.
Many marker packs are labeled for ages 3 and up, while specialty markers may be intended for older users or adults. Common safety features listed include non-toxic ink and washable formulas.
Erasable chalk-style markers are intended for non-porous surfaces such as windows and chalkboards and are described as wiping clean with a damp cloth. Porous surfaces may stain, so test first.
Dual-tip highlighters usually pair a broad chisel tip for highlighting with a fine bullet tip for underlining or detail. Listings often highlight soft/translucent, no-bleed ink and water-resistant pigment that can be layered once dry.
Many marker sets are described as washable: inks often wash from skin and most washable clothing, and some list removal from painted walls. Erasable chalk/window markers wipe clean from glass and chalkboards. Porous surfaces may stain—test first.
Common pack sizes found in listings include small 10-count sets, mid-size 15-count packs, and large assortments up to 100 colors.
Marker sets range from classic primary/standard color assortments to large multi-hue collections (including packs with up to 100 colors). Specialty highlighters often emphasize softer, muted, or pastel tones.
Common handling notes include shaking some markers (with the cap on) and pressing the tip to start ink flow. Store markers capped and flat after use. Many listings advise testing on porous materials first and warn that markers may stain wallpaper, unfinished wood, vinyl, or carpeting.
