There’s a reason our Show-me medium tip whiteboard marker is so popular. Affectionately nicknamed the “the green one” in schools across the UK, this marker is packed full of features to help tackle common frustrations in the classroom. After all, Show-me is here to help classes go smoothly, keeping students engaged and teachers smiling. So, how does Show-me do this? We discuss a few of the everyday struggles below:
Say goodbye to dried out markers
We want your whiteboard markers to go the distance. That is why our green and blue barrel drywipe markers can survive the weekend with their cap off and still work when you return on Monday morning. Been longer than 3 days? No problem. Replace the cap and leave nib-down for 24-48 hours. As long as there’s ink, it will bounce back to life and be ready for the task at hand.
Prepared for the rough & tumble of the classroom
Let’s face it – classroom resources have a tough life. From being dropped on the floor to enthusiastic students pressing a little too hard, whiteboard pens need to withstand daily wear and tear. That’s why our green barrel markers are built with an integrated nib-stop, preventing the nib from being pushed completely into the barrel. This clever feature helps protect the marker from one of the most common causes of damage, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for replacements. The result? Fewer interruptions, less waste and more value from every marker in your classroom.

Reducing waste and aiding sustainability
While mini whiteboards remain a more sustainable option than paper, we wanted to do our part and reduce classroom waste as much as possible. Show-me’s green and blue barrel markers are not only refillable but are also part of our recycling scheme. Once they have reached the end of their lifespan, just box them up and let us know so that we can arrange the rest.
Designed for maximum longevity
When it comes to classroom essentials, reliability matters. Teachers need resources they can depend on day after day, lesson after lesson. Designed with longevity in mind, our SDP medium tip and FPSDP fine tip markers combine all the features that matter most in a busy classroom: durable construction, recoverable ink technology, a refillable design and recycling options that help reduce waste.
Available in all of our classpacks and bulk boxes, these markers ensure every pupil is equipped and ready to participate. Looking to add some colour to your lessons? Our assorted marker boxes offer 10 vibrant colour options, helping to support everything from quick assessments and collaborative activities to creative classroom tasks.
It’s no surprise that teachers across the UK know exactly what they mean when they ask for “the green one”. Dependable, long-lasting and designed specifically with classroom challenges in mind, the Show-me green barrel whiteboard marker helps keep lessons running smoothly, reducing everyday frustrations and giving teachers one less thing to worry about.
