Can I use Sharpie markers on plastic?

Sharpie markers can be used on plastic surfaces, but there are some important factors to consider to achieve the best results. First, it is advisable to select a Sharpie product specifically designed for use on non-porous materials, such as the Sharpie Paint Marker or the Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Marker. These markers contain ink that adheres better to slick surfaces like plastic and is often more durable than standard Sharpie ink. Before applying the marker, it is best to clean the plastic surface to remove any dust, oils, or other contaminants that may affect adhesion. Once the surface is clean, allow it to dry completely before using the marker. After marking, it is wise to let the ink cure properly, as this can enhance its resistance to smudging or fading. Please note that while Sharpie ink is typically water-resistant, it may not be entirely permanent on plastic unless it is properly cured.
