PRO-MAX can also mark sheet metal, lumber, tires, metal or plastic pipe, cartons, inventory tags, bins and signs.

"The Pro-Max Paint Marker offers distinct advantages where highly-visible, permanent markings are desired," said Tracy Tryboski, product marketing specialist, industrial/welding division. Raw material identification, shipping/receiving identification, signage and fill-in marking for fabrication are a few of the many applications for this extra large marker.
