Retractable Highlighters

A solid outlining and highlighting plan gives professionals and students the ideal way to take thorough notes. Using retractable highlighters is an excellent way to take notes when you're on the go, and it prevents pen caps from getting lost. Explore Staples® writing supplies to find highlighters in an exciting variety of shades, sizes, and features.

Use Retractable Highlighters in a Variety of Colors to Organize Notes
Yellow is the standard color for highlighting pens, but options have expanded. Students and professionals choose from bright options like pink, green, blue, orange, and the classic yellow. Consider choosing a favorite color if you want a simple single-color outlining plan. Many keep multiple highlighting markers on hand to take different types of notes. Use a variety of colors to differentiate between different levels of importance, topics, or types of information. This way of organizing notes permits users to find the information they need with just one look.

Enjoy a Comfortable Grip With Retractable Highlighters
Comfort is essential for marathon study or review sessions. The smooth barrel grip of a retractable highlighter makes it as easy to use as a pen or marker. Several models curve through the center of the barrel to contour to your natural hand shape.

Chisel Tip Retractable Highlighters Offer Precision
Most highlighting markers feature chisel tips. While standard markers often have a fine or round tip, highlighters use a chisel tip design to offer crisp lines. A chisel tip comes to a fine point at the top, so users can do detailed highlighting work or notes. The angled tip creates broad lines with just one swipe. Spend less time perfecting a highlight and more time moving on to the next section of your document.

Are Retractable Highlighters Available in Bulk?
Businesses and schools go through significant amounts of highlighting markers, which makes bulk-ordering the ideal solution. Highlighter packages come with 1 to 12 highlighters, making it easy to get enough for everyone in the office. Several brands are part of the Staples Auto Restock program. Businesses and schools that restock highlighting markers on a consistent basis save time by setting up an automatic recurring order.

What Are the Benefits of Retractable Highlighters?
Standard markers have removable caps. While these work well, it’s easy to lose a marker cap during a busy meeting or brainstorming session. That risk is gone with a retractable highlighter. Just click the button, highlight, and click again to retract the tip. This feature lets users get more functionality out of each highlighter, and it accommodates one-handed use, which is often essential for those working when on the move. Many models have pocket clips. Use this feature to keep a highlighter handy at work or school.

How Do Retractable Highlighters Protect Against Smearing Ink?
Retractable markers work on printed pages and score over pen and marker ink. Simply let the initial ink notations dry before highlighting them. The liquid highlighting ink dries quickly, setting almost immediately once it’s on the page. Keep notes easy to read and reference with smear-proof highlighting pens that accommodate all types of ink.
