Permanent marker Staedtler 348 B — black tip 0.6 mm, black and white barrel

Staedtler 348 B is a permanent marker with a fine 0.6 mm minimum stroke width and black ink, presented in a black-and-white barrel. Designed for durable marking on a wide range of surfaces, this marker combines a compact form with reliable permanent ink that dries quickly and resists smudging and water. The product is suitable for office, workshop and labeling tasks where a fine, permanent line is required.

Advantages

The marker delivers a colour-intensive, low-odour black ink that is lightfast and waterproof once dry. Its quick-drying formulation reduces smudging and is convenient for left-handed users. The PP barrel and cap are built for durability, and the locked tip construction provides consistent performance. Additional practical features include DRY SAFE technology that allows the marker to be left uncapped for extended periods without drying out, and an automatic pressure equalization that makes the pen safe for use on aircraft.

Suitable for

• Permanent labeling of folders, boxes and storage containers
• Marking materials in workshops and construction sites
• Writing on plastic, metal, glass and cardboard
• Tasks requiring a fine, precise permanent line
• General office and inventory marking

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.6 mm minimum stroke width (fine line)
• Ink colour: black, lightfast when dry
• Ink properties: permanent, waterproof, smudge-proof after drying, low odour

How to use

Shake the marker briefly before use to ensure uniform ink flow. For fine lines, use the bullet tip at a light angle and apply steady pressure; for broader markings, rotate and use the chisel side. Allow the ink to dry for a few seconds to achieve waterproof and smudge-proof results. Replace caps after use to preserve tip condition, although the DRY SAFE feature allows for temporary uncapped storage if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Test the marker on a small, inconspicuous area of the target surface if surface sensitivity or finish is a concern. Store horizontally when not in use to maintain balanced ink distribution between tips. Keep away from children and avoid contact with skin or fabrics; remove accidental marks promptly according to surface-specific cleaning instructions.
