Staedtler 318‑9 permanent marker, bullet tip, black ink, pack of 10 from Germany is a universal marking pen designed for durable, indelible writing on a wide range of materials. The bullet tip produces a consistent medium line suitable for general marking and labelling on paper, cardboard, film, glass, plastic, metal, leather, stone, porcelain, wood and polystyrene. The ink formula is low-odour, free of xylene and toluene, dries in seconds and offers excellent smudge-proof and waterproof properties; the pens are DRY SAFE and airplane-safe for reliable on-the-go use.

Advantages

The Staedtler 318‑9 pack of 10 combines long service life and practical features: DRY SAFE ink allows the pens to be left uncapped for days without drying out, and automatic pressure equalisation prevents leakage during flights. The black ink is weatherproof and fast-drying, reducing smudging and making it suitable for left-handed users. A robust PP barrel and cap increase durability, the tip is locked to withstand hand pressure, and pens can be refilled with Staedtler refill stations to lower waste and running costs.

How to use

Select a clean, dry surface and apply steady pressure for an even medium-width line. For porous substrates like untreated wood or cardboard, test on a scrap piece first to check absorption and drying time. When marking non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal or plastic, allow a few seconds for the ink to set to achieve smudge-proof and waterproof results. If the tip becomes clogged, recapping briefly and storing horizontally for a short time can restore flow; for full refilling use the Staedtler refill station as instructed by the refill unit.

Usage recommendations

Store capped when not in use to maintain optimal performance. For long-term ecological and economic use, refill markers with the designated refill station and keep in the stand-up Staedtler box provided to avoid additional external packaging.
