How to Write on Clothing With a Sharpie

Sharpie is the brand name of a line of permanent markers that is sold worldwide. The first Sharpie marker was introduced in 1964, and by the end of 2002, the company had sold more than 200 million of their permanent markers. You can find Sharpie markers in more than 24 colors in a variety of tips, from ultrathin to broad tips. There are many types of Sharpie markers, including traditional Sharpie markers, Sharpie highlighters and Sharpie specialty markers, such as permanent markers for labeling CD/DVDs, counterfeit detector markers, water-based markers and the Rub-a-Dub Laundry Marker. It's easy to write on clothing with a regular Sharpie, but if you don't want to risk any fading, you need a Sharpie Rub-a-Dub Laundry Marker.
