How do Iconic highlighter strips work?
Peel a strip, lay it over the line, press it down. JetPens says the adhesive covers almost the whole back, so the strip lies flat, while a small non-sticky end lets you lift it or leave it sticking out as a page flag.
Because the film is translucent, the text stays readable through the color. Two Garden designs are perforated: a pink-yellow gradient tears into thirds and a green-pink one into halves, for shorter phrases.
Can you write on them?
Yes, with an oil-based pen. Answering a buyer’s question on 10x10, the seller said oil-based pens write on the strips.
That means a ballpoint rather than gel ink. The same is true of most film flags, such as the Kanmido Coco-Fusen Card, whose maker warns that gel and water-based inks may not dry.
Which Iconic highlighter set should you buy?
Garden for warm pinks and greens, Ocean for blues; both have eight designs. Iconic also makes related packs:

How does it compare to Post-it Flags?
Iconic’s strips are long and thin for highlighting; Post-it Flags are short tabs for marking pages. A strip covers a whole 13.5 cm line, while Post-it Flags 680 are about an inch wide and work best sticking out of a page edge.
At ₩4,600 (about US$3.50) in Korea, a pack of 160 costs less there than in the US, where it sits in our $$ band.
How do you use highlighter strips in a planner?
Lay a strip across the days of an event, a trip or a deadline, then move it if plans change. At 13.5 cm, one strip spans most of a weekly spread’s row, and the perforated designs tear down to a single day or two.
Because the color sits on film rather than in the paper, nothing bleeds or ghosts through, which matters on thin planner paper. You can also stack two colors: the film is translucent, so overlaps read as a third shade.
Are Iconic highlighter strips reusable?
Yes, a few times. JetPens says the strips peel off without leaving marks, and the small non-sticky end makes them easy to lift and move.
We haven’t yet tested how many moves a strip survives before it stops holding. Stick a used strip back on the pack’s folder if you want to save it.
Where are Iconic highlighter strips made?
In South Korea. Iconic’s legally required product notice on 10x10 lists Korea as the country of manufacture and (주)아이코닉디자인 (Iconic Design Co., Ltd.) in Seoul as the maker.
Frequently asked questions
Can you write on Iconic highlighter strips?
Yes, with the right pen. Answering a buyer on 10x10, the seller said oil-based pens write on the strips; water-based gel ink is likely to bead on the film.
Do Iconic Index highlighter strips damage books?
They're made to come off: JetPens says the strips mark text without permanent marks and that a small non-sticky end makes them easy to peel. Test on old or delicate paper first.
What's the difference between the Long and Short Iconic highlighters?
The Long strips run 13.5 cm to cover a full line; the Index Short Highlighter is a set of shorter tabs for single words and page edges, sold in Spring and Winter designs.
What's in the Garden and Ocean sets?
Each has eight designs of 20 strips. JetPens says the Garden set includes a pink-yellow gradient that tears into thirds and a green-pink one that tears into halves.
Are Iconic highlighter strips good for annotating library books?
They're one of the few ways to highlight a book you can't mark, because they come off; remove them before you return it, since adhesive can still lift fragile paper.
How many Iconic highlighter strips come in a pack?
160, as eight designs of 20 strips in a clear plastic folder.
