Our experts recommend the following tips for best results, while using our Signature Metallic Outline Markers.

1. With the cap on, shake your marker vigorously for 20 seconds.
2. Remove the cap, place the tip on scrap paper, then pump - press down & release rapidly.
3. Continue pumping the tip until the ink flows through.
4. Once the ink fully saturates the tip, you’re ready to use your marker!
5. Don’t forget to recap your markers immediately after use.

 

STORAGE TIP: Store markers horizontally or tip up. To re-prime the marker after storage, repeat steps 1-4.

PRO TIP: Markers may bleed through some paper. Always protect your surface and use heavy weight paper for best results!

In 1958 the box of 64 CRAYOLA Crayons was introduced. It was the first package to include a built-in sharpener design. We continue to manufacture this package design today in the 64 and 96 count Crayola Crayon package.

Recognizing a need in schools for safe and affordable wax crayons, Binney & Smith created the first box of eight Crayola Crayons in 1903. Sold for a nickel, this box included red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, and black.  

The Crayola name was coined by Alice Binney, wife of company founder Edwin Binney and a former schoolteacher. It combines the French word for "chalk" ("craie") with "ola," meaning "oily."
