Best for
Choose custom highlighters & markers if your moment is conference and summit delegate packs, university orientation and student recruitment or creative agency new-business and studio gifts.
Conference and summit delegate packs
A fluoro highlighter pairs beautifully with the printed agenda and lanyard — delegates reach for it in the first session and carry it back to the office. Choose dual-tip for note-takers, single chisel for speaker notes.
University orientation and student recruitment
Pastel highlighter sets in a branded sleeve photograph well on social and become study-desk currency for a full semester. Tone-matched to the faculty palette is what our campus teams keep reordering.
Creative agency new-business and studio gifts
A four-pack of pastel highlighters with a tagline on the sleeve lands on creative directors' desks and stays there. The pack is the moment; the highlighter keeps the brand alive every time a brief gets marked up.
Back-to-work and onboarding kits
Pair a dual-tip highlighter with a branded notebook and pen — a considered trio under AU$12 per kit that feels generous on day one and useful by week two.
“We wrapped our pastel highlighter set in a printed sleeve with the campaign tagline and sent them to 120 creative directors. Three posted them on LinkedIn by the end of the week. The Sense2 team matched our tone perfectly.”
“Our orientation packs needed to feel generous without tipping the budget. The dual-tip highlighters landed in the right faculty colours and were on students' desks by week two. Delivery was a few days ahead of when we needed them.”
“Customers consistently rate Sense2 for bringing brand thinking and warmth to every project — from brief to launch, with delivery that always lands on time.”

How to choose
Start with the tone of the campaign, then pick the format. Fluoro yellow, pink and orange still out-read every other colour on a page — that's why journalists, students and marketers keep them in pencil cases a year later. Pastel sets (mint, peach, lavender, butter) read quieter and more design-led; they suit brand palettes that already live in muted tones, and they photograph beautifully on Instagram flat-lays for launch content. Dual-tip highlighter-and-fineliner formats are the thoughtful choice for note-takers and are what our creative directors repeat-order for studio gifts. Branding method drives the finish. Pad print in 1-4 colours is the workhorse and sits cleanly on barrel or clip. For edge-to-edge coverage across a highlighter sleeve or a marker barrel, go full-colour digital wrap — that's where a campaign illustration, a pattern or a long-form tagline really lands. Laser engrave is reserved for metal-barrel permanent markers and premium lines; it reads refined and never wears off. Always check the imprint area on the spec sheet: a chubby highlighter gives you 35mm x 20mm of real estate, a slim fineliner gives you 40mm x 8mm, and the shape of the brief follows. On MOQ: most highlighter lines start at 100-250 units, with no MOQ on many core catalogue items for rapid delegate-pack briefs. Pastel sets and presentation packs typically start at 100 sets. At 2,500+ expect 30-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote so you can see where the value tips. And order a sample: 48 hours to your desk, so the brand manager can test the ink flow, check the fluoro against the deck, and see the print register in real light before artwork lock.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-colour pad print, a single fluoro highlighter sits around AU$0.95-$2.20, a dual-tip highlighter-and-fineliner AU$1.60-$3.80, a pastel 4-pack set AU$3.50-$8.50, and a premium metal-barrel permanent marker AU$4.50-$12. At 500 units those drop 25-35%. Full-colour digital wrap adds AU$0.35-$0.75 per unit. Setup is AU$40-$65 per colour, once-off. Laser engraving on metal barrels adds AU$0.80-$1.50 per unit.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for custom highlighters and markers?▾
Most highlighter and marker lines start at 100-250 units, with no MOQ on many core catalogue items for rapid delegate-pack briefs. Pastel and presentation sets typically start at 100 sets. For 2,500+ units expect 30-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,500.
How long do branded highlighters take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾
Standard lead time is 7-12 business days from artwork approval. Many core lines brand in 1-4 business days, and 3-5 day express is available on 400+ SKUs. For Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane briefs we can sometimes courier same-week on stocked decorated highlighters — useful when a conference date moves.
What branding methods work best on highlighters and markers?▾
Pad print in 1-4 colours is the workhorse for single highlighters and sits cleanly on barrel or clip. Full-colour digital wrap is the choice for edge-to-edge sleeve coverage on pastel sets and campaign illustrations. Laser engraving reads refined on metal-barrel permanent markers. Setup is AU$40-$65 per colour, once-off.
Can I see a sample of a branded highlighter before I order?▾
Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs so your creative team can check ink flow, fluoro tone against the deck and print register in real light before artwork lock.
Do you offer eco-friendly or recycled-material highlighters?▾
Yes. Our eco writing-instrument range includes recycled-plastic barrel highlighters, bamboo-barrel markers, FSC-paper sleeves on pastel sets and dry-ink highlighters that use less solvent. Ask our team about current certified stock — we refresh the eco range as new materials come through our international sourcing partners.
What's the difference between fluoro and pastel highlighters for a brand campaign?▾
Fluoro reads loudest on a page and is what delegates and students reach for first — best for conference packs, media kits and high-visibility campaigns. Pastels read quieter and more design-led, photograph beautifully on launch flat-lays, and suit brand palettes already living in muted tones. Many creative teams order both and let the moment decide.
