FAQs

1. Can Sharpie markers be used on all surfaces? While most standard Sharpie markers work perfectly on paper, plastic, metal, and glass, specialized markers (like the Industrial series) are specifically formulated for extreme applications and non-porous surfaces.

2. Do Sharpie markers fade over time? Sharpie ink is formulated to be permanent. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals may cause standard ink to fade over years. Industrial Sharpies are designed to withstand much more extreme UV and moisture conditions.
