Why Do Pen/Marker/Highlighter Caps Have Holes in Them?

11th Apr 2023

Have you ever stopped to consider why pens, markers, and highlighter caps often feature holes? Though these small details may be overlooked, their presence plays an integral role in both everyday use and safety.

Many ballpoint pens feature a small hole in their cap. You may be curious why this hole exists and what it serves.

Pen caps feature holes to prevent suffocation, which could occur if the pen is accidentally swallowed.

  • Safety

Pen/Marker/Highlighter caps have holes in them and are made of glass, metal, or plastic. They come in all sorts of colors, styles, and finishes. The best ones are made of high-grade materials and have a secure lid, so they won’t roll off your desk or out of your bag.

The best pens also include safety features to make sure that they’re safe to use on kids or the elderly. Among the most important are an anti-tear cap, a water-resistant ink that won’t dry out or run out, and a smudge-proof seal.

  • Ink Flow

Ink flow capabilities allow you to write and draw with amazing precision, allowing you to scale and move anything you select. This lag-free, lightning-fast ink is the perfect way to sketch out a layout, jot down notes or create sketches with your favorite pens and pencils.

The Kaywin pens also do not fade when you make copies of highlighted text or triplicate paper, which is great for office workers or teachers. They are available in 12 pastel colors, and their caps have spring-loaded clips that help hold them in place on a clipboard or stack of papers.

  • Ease of Use

Ease of use is an important design element for products, services, and tools. It helps people accomplish goals and tasks quickly and easily.

It also helps prevent a product from becoming obsolete. Pen/Marker/Highlighter caps are often made from durable materials so that they can be used for a long time before needing to be replaced.

They also help the environment by preventing waste from entering landfills and making the planet a healthier place for us all to live.

They also feature Smear Safe(r) protection for smooth highlighting over the most pen, marker, and inkjet inks without smearing. They have a durable tip and a sturdy clip for convenient storage in a pocket, organizer, or binder.

  • Ink Drying

While these caps are very useful, they also have the ability to dry out and become useless if not treated correctly. One way to revive a highlighter that has dried out is by using rubbing alcohol.

Another way to revive a marker that has dried out is by soaking the tip in water. However, this method is not advisable as it can damage the main plastic body of the marker.

In addition, you can also revive a marker that has dried out by dipping the tip in an acidic solution such as vinegar. This process may cause some fumes, so it is best to do it in a well-ventilated area. If you have acetone at home, this can also be used to revive a dried-out marker.
