Permanent marker BIC Marking POCKET ECOlutions, round tip, alcohol-based quick-dry ink, single pen (MPN 8755911)

BIC Marking POCKET ECOlutions is a single permanent marker with a round tip and alcohol-based, quick-drying ink. It is designed for durable, fade-resistant marking on a wide range of surfaces including paper, cardboard, plastic, metal and glass. The compact, pocket-size body and cap ensure safe transport and convenient storage, while ECOlutions elements indicate the use of recycled or eco-conscious materials in the product construction.

Advantages

The marker delivers consistent, opaque lines that dry quickly to reduce smudging and allow immediate handling of marked items. Its round tip provides reliable, uniform strokes for writing, labeling and simple drawing tasks. The compact format and secure cap make it practical for everyday use in offices, homes, workshops and stores, and the use of eco-conscious materials reduces environmental impact compared with fully virgin-plastic alternatives.

Suitable for

• Permanent marking on paper and cardboard for labels and tags
• Writing and labeling on plastic and coated surfaces
• Marking metal parts, tools and storage bins in warehouses
• Basic craft and DIY projects requiring quick-drying ink

When it may not be suitable

This marker is not formulated for use on highly porous surfaces where ink may bleed extensively, such as untreated wood or fabric, and it is not intended for precise technical drawing where a fine or chisel tip is required. It may also be less effective for permanent marking on oily or heavily textured surfaces without prior cleaning.

Key specifications

• Tip type: round (bullet) tip for uniform strokes
• Ink base: alcohol-based, quick-drying formulation
• Line opacity: opaque, designed for fade resistance
• Body: compact, pocket-size marker with secure cap
• Intended surfaces: paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass

How to use

Remove the cap and shake the marker gently if recommended by the manufacturer to ensure ink flow. Press the tip lightly on a scrap surface to activate ink if necessary, then write or draw on the desired surface using even pressure. Replace the cap after use to prevent drying. For best results on non-porous or dirty surfaces, clean and dry the area before marking to improve adhesion and durability.

What to consider before purchase

• Check whether a round tip meets your precision needs or if a finer or chisel tip is required
• Consider the intended surface — porous materials may require a different marker
• Note the environmental aspects if recycled-content materials are important to you
• Confirm quick-dry requirements if immediate handling is necessary

Usage recommendations

Store the marker horizontally or tip-up with the cap closed to maintain ink performance. Test the marker on a small area before full application, especially on glossy or coated surfaces. For longer-lasting marks on frequently handled items, allow the ink to dry fully and avoid abrasive contact.
