Welcome to the World of Artline®

In the world of stamps, one name has stood out as a beacon of quality and innovation for decades: Xstamper® by Shachihata. Born as the very first pre-inked stamp ever developed, a technology that would define a new era in the stamping world. Taking what they learned for the Xstamper, their ink chemists continued to develop inks for other uses.

In 1964, Shachihata introduced the Artline brand of markers in Japan. From a humble beginning of 3 markers, the Artline brand has grown to more than 3 million units sold annually in over 95 countries and regions. Today, Artline offers over 350 unique writing, marking, and drawing solutions. The quality of these markers’ ergonomic design, durable build, and proprietary ink formulas makes them a pleasure to use, creating unparalleled results.

Artline’s diverse range of writing instruments cater to a wide array of needs across education, office work, architecture, arts and crafts, sign making, manufacturing, industrial and construction, home use, lettering, highlighting, calligraphy, and more. This variety of products allows individuals to choose the right solution for their specific tasks and preferences.

Most importantly, our proprietary ink formulas are among Shachihata’s most closely guarded secrets. Crafted through years of research and development, this ink is designed to deliver precise, crisp, and enduring results. Shachihata was established in 1925 as ink chemists, and that has remained our passion for nearly a century.

Our reputation as a global leader in ink technology is not only acknowledged by consumers but is also sought after by competitors, highlighting the company’s commitment to excellence in the field of inks and markers.

So, when looking for the highest-quality ink available today, look no further than the Artline line of unmatched writing instruments. This ink combined with the exceptional build of Artline markers make them the popular choice world-wide.
