    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

For anybody that uses those brightly colored markers to write on deli cups and displays, what do you use and where do you get them?

Not talking about the black or red china markers. Looking more for the bright colored ones. And it needs to be easily removable with washing. Thanks in advance.

:angry: Minimum order is $25.00.. Darn it.

Matt if you decided to order and dont hit the $25.00 mark let me know I could use a couple as well and dont mind chipping in for shipping.
 
I don't know what a hobby lobby is but I found them in the 5 pack for around $25 at Officemax..... :thumbsup:

I have on good authority they can be found at Staples as well.

Sorry about the $25.00 minimum, didn't realize as we bought about 15 of them. Didn't find them at any of the Staples around here.
Jen found them originally at OM or OD, don't recall which one.
 
They are at most office supply stores and or hobby stores. Work great but its actually almost just as cheap to use a label maker. Though the markers do make it quick. I did it smart. Invested in colored painters tape. Green as its my business color. Then black sharpie's which you can get for about 5 bucks for 10 of em. Makes it nice and easy and don't have to wash ur acyrlics all the time.
 
I plan on using them for delis with corns mostly. That way after a show I can just wash them and put them away till next time. No more needing to play match the lid with the snake or remaking labels cause a morph dropped in price, etc...

With the acrylics I may just stick to labels. I'll try these out and see how I like them and go from there. Either way I'm glad that this is one less mystery to me when it comes to vendor stuff..... And I'm really glad I tried those other paint pens on a deli before finding out just how permanent they were. :eek:
 
You can get a pack of wet erase markers from staples or office depot. A 5 pack sells for about $15. They wipe right off with a wet paper towel and will not damage your displays. They are bright and really stand out on displays and deli cups.
