There is no doubt about the fact that a permanent marker pen is good for making you mark, as it were, on many things that you want to keep track of. The main thing that you might want to remember here is that you are not going to be able to get those marks out of what you have marked. This is something that often gets the better of people for so many different reasons. How many times have you written your child’s name in something that you need to make sure that they know is theirs?
This is something that is useful while those kids are small and need to know which clothes and items are theirs, yet not so good as they get older. It is almost always suggested that you use a permanent marker pen to label your kids clothing and items. This is especially true if that child is going away to summer or sleep-away camp. The thing that makes things easier when the kids are younger is also what becomes a nuisance when they get older.
Another thing that you might use a permanent marker pen for is to mark your moving boxes so that you know what is in each box and what room each one goes in to. Here is another case in which something that is good at one particular time in your life can also become a nuisance later on down the line. Yes, it is true that you can simply mark over what you have already written to get rid of what is there, but that can be something that is going to get messy especially if your handwriting is very large.
You can also use a permanent marker pen to label boxes of things that are going out in the mail. Yes, it is true that you can also use a regular pen for this purpose; however what is the use of that when you cannot see what it is that you wrote? This is the exact reason that many people decide that they are going to use a marker in the first place. Some people decide that they are going to go with the good old felt-tipped permanent marker that is pretty large and has a wedge-shaped tip for marking their moving boxes. Some will choose a good old Sharpie marker to write the address to send that special package out to.
Either way that you slice it, there is no wrong answer to the question of which permanent marker pen is the better choice. You choose the one that best suits your needs. You might be better off having one of each kind of marker around so that you have all your bases covered. There are many parents that will reach for and use one of their kid’s markers if they cannot find their own when it is needed. This is part of the reason that Sharpie decided to make the Sharpie Mini markers in the first place. These go wherever you go.
