Penco Permanent Writer Pen Set 0.5 mm 5 Colour Markers
The Penco Permanent Writer Pen Set of 5 colour markers is designed for those who value versatility and precision in their writing and creative tools. With its oil-based ink, it allows you to write on a wide range of surfaces such as masking tape, photographs or paper, making it especially useful for journaling, organisation and creative projects. A practical choice for anyone looking for functional tools with character and multiple uses.
Concept and use
Developed in collaboration with a long-established Japanese brush manufacturer, this set offers a reliable and precise writing experience. Its fine 0.5 mm tip allows for clear writing in small spaces, making it ideal for labelling, illustration or adding detailed notes, even on surfaces where standard markers may struggle.
Versatility across surfaces
The oil-based ink provides strong adhesion, allowing you to write on masking tape, photographs, coated paper and other non-porous surfaces. This makes these markers a practical solution for both everyday use and more specific creative applications.
Design and materials
Each marker features a lightweight and durable body made from PP (polypropylene terephthalate), with a balanced format that ensures comfortable use over time. The set includes five different colours, presented in a compact triangular cardboard box for easy storage and portability.

Brand story and philosophy
Every Penco product carries a playful and creative spirit, closely connected to the original spark that started it all.
What began almost as a joke between two surfers waiting for waves quickly turned into something more meaningful. The idea of creating a pen brand came naturally, and the name Penco was chosen as a simple abbreviation of “Pen Company”, evoking the image of a classic stationery brand you might find somewhere in the United States.
That relaxed and free-spirited energy became the foundation of the brand: creating tools that inspire creativity and fit naturally into everyday life.
Over time, the collection expanded organically. Because if you have a pen, you need a notebook. And at your desk, a tray to organise everything. Then a case to carry your essentials, or a functional object that completes the set. Their appreciation for American vintage aesthetics combined with an interest in European design, shaping a collection that is both practical and full of character.
Despite this evolution, Penco has remained true to one guiding principle: simplicity approached with a sense of lightness and practicality. Their products are not about following trends, but about offering tools that naturally integrate into daily life.
The objects we choose reflect the way we live. With simple tools, selected with intention and a touch of playfulness, it becomes easier to stay true to yourself. Penco invites you to rediscover the beauty of everyday life through objects designed to create, organise and enjoy without unnecessary complexity.
