Highlighter & Marker Making Machines
Seen from above, a large rotary table carries the pen parts past a ring of assembly stations, with a vibratory bowl at the back.
Our highlighter and marker making machines put markers, highlighters, fineliners and double-ended water-based pens together from their loose parts. Each machine is set up for your own pen parts, from the complete marker to the tip sleeves, end plugs and seal rings.
