description Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker Overview

With a narrow fiber tip and quick-drying permanent ink, the Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker is intended for writing and drawing on more than paper alone. Common uses include marking cardboard, plastic, and metal, although the durability of a mark depends on the surface and the conditions it faces. Its fine-point format provides greater control than a broad marker tip for handwriting and outlines. That balance makes it useful for everyday labeling and work where a clear, relatively narrow line matters.

It suits office users, organizers, and people making simple drawings or identifying objects, while remaining a marker rather than a precision technical pen. The permanent ink and ability to mark several common materials distinguish it from ordinary washable writing tools. 'Permanent' describes its intended behavior, but does not mean every mark will resist all abrasion, cleaning products, or weather exposure.
