STAEDTLER Highlighter, Textsurfer in 97% Recycled Plastic

The STAEDTLER Textsurfer, printed with your logo. The housing is made from 97% recycled plastic and the ink is water based, which makes this one of the few genuinely branded pens that also stands up to an eco brief. We supply and brand it; we do not manufacture it.

A named brand changes how a cheap item is received. At under four dollars this sits in giveaway territory, but it is a STAEDTLER, and people who use highlighters know the difference. An unbranded highlighter at the same price gets used until it dries out and then forgotten; this one gets kept in a pencil case.

97% recycled is a number you can put in writing. Most eco claims on stationery rest on the packaging rather than the product. Here the housing itself is the recycled component, which is the part that outlives the ink. If you are assembling a gift that has to survive a procurement question, this is an easier line to defend than a bamboo barrel of unknown origin.

Inkjet safe matters more than it sounds. Highlighting a page off an office printer with the wrong marker smears the toner into a grey streak. The Textsurfer ink is formulated not to, which is why it is the one most offices already buy.

Where it sits in the range. This belongs with the rest of our custom stationery and doubles as an eco friendly corporate gifts item on the strength of the recycled housing. It works best as a set filler alongside a notebook rather than on its own — four colours in a run lets you mix the pack.
