FAQ

• Which Crayola products are permanent on fabric?

  Keep designs permanent on fabric and other surfaces when you choose Crayola products with non-washable pigments:

  
  

  • Crayola Acrylic Paints, including Acrylic Paint Sticks
  • Crayola Fabric Markers
  • Crayola Fine Point Doodle Markers (ideal for cotton, polyester, leather, & canvas)
  • Crayola Portfolio Series Acrylic Paint
  • Crayola Take Note! Permanent Markers

  For added permanency and to fix the color to the fabric, an adult should heat-set the colors before laundering or wearing the garment. Otherwise, washing the fabric before heat-setting, will cause a loss of color intensity.

  
  

  To heat-set using an iron

  1.  Set the iron at the hottest setting appropriate for the fabric type.
  2. Cover your work-surface with scrap cloth or rags to prevent unwanted stains.
  3. Turn the fabric inside out, and iron the reverse side of the design with a back and forth motion for 4 minutes.

   

  To heat-set using a clothes dryer, place the item alone in the dryer for 30 minutes on the hottest setting appropriate for the fabric. Do not dry other garments at the same time.

   

  To heat-set using a blow-dryer, use the hottest setting to thoroughly heat the design for 4 minutes.

• How are Crayola Markers made?

  Crayola® Markers are made with six components consisting of: a color solution, a porous plastic nib, a plastic barrel, a cotton filament (ink reservoir), an end plug, and a cap. Although specific ingredient information is proprietary, most of the color solutions in Crayola Markers are made from water and dyes. Below is the process we follow to make Crayola Markers.

  
  

  1. Tiny beads of plastic are fed into a molding machine where they are melted and then molded into marker barrels. The liquid plastic becomes solid, white marker barrels in a matter of seconds.
  2. Any extra plastic from the molding process goes back into the molding machine to make new marker barrels.
  3. The marker barrels are screen printed with the Crayola brand name and most with the color name of the marker. The process is like screen printing t-shirts, where the ink colors pass through a pre-made screen onto the printing surface. Up to 6 distinct colors can be used to decorate the marker barrel at one time! The ink dries quickly as the marker barrel passes through a drying tunnel.
  4. The assembly machine lines up the marker barrels in the same direction as they move along a conveyor belt. The end plug and ink reservoir are inserted into the marker barrel, and the color solution is injected into the soft reservoir. The marker nib, or drawing tip, is added to the open end of the marker, followed by the cap. It takes a minute or two for the ink to travel up from the reservoir to color the nib, so the marker is ready to write!
  5. The finished markers are placed in a sorter - a machine with separate sections for the assorted colors. A chute drops one marker of each color onto a conveyor belt, creating the colorful assortment that will fill the marker box.
  6. A robotic arm opens the flat marker boxes and sends them down the conveyor belt. Another robotic arm pushes the markers into the boxes and closes them. After the assembled markers are packed in large cartons, they are ready to be shipped to stores.

• How can I revive dry Crayola Markers that accidentally were left with their caps off?

  Your Crayola markers may have dried out if left uncapped. Below are some suggestions to help revive them.

  
  

  1. Color-Change Doodle Markers:
     • Replace the cap for 72 hours (about 3 days) before attempting to use it again.
  2. Color Wonder Markers:
     • Not water-based and cannot be revived.
     • Try wiping the nib clean, cap the marker, and store with the tip down overnight if left uncapped briefly.
  3. Fine-Point and Ultra-Fine Point Doodle Markers:
     • Cannot be revived as they are permanent marker inks.
  4. Gel Markers:
     • Rub the marker back and forth on the drawing surface.

     • Alternatively, dip the tip in warm water for about 5 seconds, recap, and wait 24 hours before trying again.
  5. Non-Water-Based Markers:
     • These markers are permanent and cannot be revived.
  6. Take Note! Gel Pens:
     • Tap the tip against paper to engage and disengage the tip until writing comes back.
