In this post, we’ll take a closer look at Dri Mark’s marker manufacturing services and explore three case studies of businesses that have partnered with Dri Mark to create the perfect marking solutions.
Permanent Markers for a Day Planner Company Facing Import Tariffs
A popular day planner company that had been importing permanent markers from China for their planner kits reached out to Dri Mark for a solution due to rising import tariffs and unpredictable shipping delays. The company included a set of permanent markers with each of their day planners, allowing customers to personalize their planners and make annotations that would last throughout the year. However, the increasing costs associated with importing these markers were significantly impacting their profit margins.
In addition to the cost concerns, the company needed a reliable American manufacturer who could provide a consistent supply of high-quality permanent markers that met their specific needs. The markers needed to be durable enough for everyday use, with vibrant, long-lasting ink that wouldn’t smudge or fade over time, as well as an appealing design that fit well with their high-end planners.
Dri Mark stepped in to provide a solution. We worked closely with the company to design a permanent marker that met both functional and aesthetic requirements. By leveraging Dri Mark’s proven ink formula, we ensured that the markers would have rich, fade-resistant colors that could handle consistent use on paper without bleeding through or fading. We also customized the markers to match the company’s branding, with sleek, stylish barrels that complemented the elegant design of their day planners.
Not only did switching to Dri Mark allow the company to avoid the high costs of import tariffs, but they also benefited from faster shipping times and more reliable supply chain management. With their new, American-made markers, the company could offer their customers a consistent, high-quality product while strengthening their brand with custom-branded markers that were now manufactured domestically.
The day planner company was extremely satisfied with the transition, as it resulted in cost savings, improved product consistency, and a stronger connection with their customers. By partnering with Dri Mark, they gained a dependable marker supplier and strengthened the value of their product offerings.
Dry Erase Markers for a School Supply Brand
A well-known school supply company approached Dri Mark with a request to create a custom line of dry erase markers that were not only durable but also safe for children to use. The company wanted markers that would perform well on whiteboards, erase cleanly without leaving stains, and meet safety standards for use in classrooms nationwide.
Dri Mark worked closely with the school supply company to deliver the perfect solution. Using Dri Mark’s high-quality dry erase marker bodies, the company chose to use Dri Mark’s proven ink formula, known for its vibrant colors, smooth application, and easy erasability. This ensured the markers would perform consistently while meeting non-toxic safety standards.
To make the product unique to their brand, the school supply company had Dri Mark add their logo to the marker barrels. The result was a high-quality, branded dry erase marker that teachers and students quickly loved. The markers became a staple in classrooms, praised for their reliable performance and vibrant colors, helping the school supply company strengthen its position in the competitive educational market.
Custom Cleaning Solvent Marker for a Specialty Cleaning Company
A specialty cleaning company approached Dri Mark with a unique request: they wanted to create a marker filled with a custom cleaning solvent that their customers could use for quick, on-the-go cleaning tasks. The company envisioned a product that could combine the convenience of a marker with the functionality of a cleaning solution, perfect for professionals in industries like automotive, construction, and office maintenance. They also wanted to resell the product with their own branding and logo.
Dri Mark’s team worked closely with the company to understand their specific needs and the properties of the cleaning solvent they wanted to use. After testing and ensuring the solvent was compatible with marker materials, Dri Mark filled the existing marker body with the custom solvent, ensuring it would dispense smoothly when used. The markers were designed with a durable, high-quality tip that allowed users to apply the solvent exactly where needed, whether it was for spot cleaning on hard surfaces or removing stains.
The company was thrilled with the results. Dri Mark not only delivered a functional and innovative cleaning marker but also branded it with the company’s logo, making it a unique product in the market. This custom cleaning solvent marker quickly became a popular item in the company’s product line, offering a new and convenient solution for their customers.
