Permanent marker BIC Intensity model 5274232 — tip 1.5–2.3 mm, recycled cardboard blister (single piece)

BIC Intensity permanent marker model 5274232 produces a consistent, fast-drying ink line with a tip width of 1.5–2.3 mm suitable for visible, long-lasting marks. The marker is supplied as a single piece in a cardboard blister made from 98% recycled materials and provides smudge-resistant, water-tolerant marking on many non-porous and porous surfaces. The compact design and medium chisel tip allow both bold strokes and finer lines for everyday office, warehouse, craft and labelling tasks.

Advantages

The BIC Intensity marker offers durable, permanent ink that dries quickly to minimise smudging. Its chisel tip (1.5–2.3 mm) enables variable line widths for different marking needs, while the single-piece refillable-feel body provides easy handling and reliable coverage. Packaged in a mostly recycled cardboard blister, the product reduces plastic packaging waste and is easy to store or transport.

Suitable for

• Writing on cardboard, paper and labels
• Marking plastic, metal and glass surfaces
• Warehouse inventory marking and shipping labels
• Crafts, DIY and school projects requiring permanent ink

When it may not be suitable

This permanent marker may not be appropriate for use on highly heat-sensitive materials or fabrics that can be damaged or discoloured by solvents. It is not formulated for use as a textile ink where wash-fastness is required; marks on textiles may fade or bleed after laundering.

Key specifications

• Tip type: chisel/angled tip
• Line width: 1.5–2.3 mm (variable strokes)
• Ink properties: permanent, fast-drying, smudge-resistant
• Suitable surfaces: paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass and similar materials
• Packaging: single unit in cardboard blister made from 98% recycled material

How to use

Remove the cap before use and hold the marker at an angle to vary line width using the chisel tip. For broad strokes, use the wide face of the tip; for finer lines, turn the tip to its narrow edge. Allow ink to dry for a few seconds to avoid smudging. Replace the cap after use to prevent drying of the tip and store horizontally or upright in a cool, dry place.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended surfaces and whether permanent solvent-based ink is appropriate
• Required line width and whether 1.5–2.3 mm meets marking precision needs
• Packaging preference for recycled materials versus plastic blister options
• Indoor use versus outdoor exposure — test for weather resistance on intended materials

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the marker on a small area of the target surface to confirm adhesion and drying time. Use firm, even pressure for consistent ink flow and replace the cap immediately after use to prolong tip life.
