Mr. Pen's store calls them Bible Gel Highlighters; the Amazon listing, model BH06, calls them No Bleed Gel Highlighters. The listing photos show slim colored barrels printed "SLEEK" with clear caps. ## How popular are they? **This is Mr. Pen's most-rated product and one of the most-rated highlighters on Amazon.** On October 23, 2026, the listing showed 4.6 stars from 56,991 ratings, No. 461 in all of Office Products and No. 11 in Liquid Highlighters. Mr. Pen's chisel-tip Aesthetic Highlighters, a separate liquid-ink line, showed 24,100 ratings and "10K+ bought in past month" on the 8-pack. That's a different product; this guide covers the gel sticks. ## Mr. Pen gel highlighter specs | Spec | Mr. Pen No Bleed Gel Highlighters (BH06) | |---|---| | Type | Solid gel stick, twist-up | | Size | 3.94 × 0.39 × 0.5 in (100 × 10 × 12.7 mm), per Amazon | | Pack | 8 sticks (listing options from 1 to 20) | | Tip | Rounded gel stick; sharpenable, per Mr. Pen | | Cap | Clear, with clip | | Claims | No bleed, no smear, won't dry out uncapped | | UPC | 853126008012 | | Price band | $ (under $5 per highlighter) | ![The eight Mr. Pen gel highlighter colors drawn to scale at 100 mm long: yellow, dark pink, light pink, green, blue, dark orange, light orange and purple](https://stationerytimes.com/images/mr-pen-gel-highlighters-colors.svg) *The Assorted Colors 8-pack, in the order Mr. Pen lists it. Tints are representative.* ## Why use a gel highlighter on thin paper? **Gel sits on the surface instead of soaking in, so it shows less on the back of thin pages.** That's why gel sticks are the usual pick for Bibles, which are printed on very thin paper. Mr. Pen says these won't bleed through Bibles or magazines, won't smear, and won't dry out if you leave the cap off. Amazon's review summary says buyers find them good on thin paper, like the bright colors and smooth, crayon-like feel, and are split on whether they smear. ## How does it compare with Sharpie Gel and Textsurfer Gel? **All three are twist-up gel sticks for thin paper in our $ band; Mr. Pen sells the most colors per pack.** | | Mr. Pen gel (BH06) | [Sharpie Gel](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/sharpie-gel-highlighter/) | [Staedtler Textsurfer Gel 264](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/staedtler-textsurfer-gel-264/) | |---|---|---|---| | Common pack | 8 colors | 5 colors | Singles and sets | | Size | 100 × 10 mm, per Amazon | Not published | 137 mm capped, 9 mm stick | | Brand base | United States | United States | Germany | | Made in | Not stated | South Korea | South Korea | | Price band | $ | $ | $ | Sharpie and Staedtler publish more about their gel, and their origin is on record. The draw of the Mr. Pen pack is its color range. Our [best pens for Bible journaling](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-pens-for-bible-journaling/) covers pens to pair with them. ## Which colors and packs can you get? **The listing has 31 options: single sticks and packs of 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20 in more than 20 color mixes.** Named mixes include Pastel, Vintage, Morandi, Candy, Dusty and a Vibrant pack with a Bible color-coding guide. The Assorted Colors 8-pack on Mr. Pen's store has yellow, dark pink, light pink, green, blue, dark orange, light orange and purple. Glitter gel highlighters are sold as separate listings. ## Who makes Mr. Pen highlighters, and where? **Mr. Pen is a US marketplace brand; it doesn't say where its highlighters are made.** Its About page says a few teachers founded it to supply schools, and its footer gives Louisiana. The USPTO lists the trademark as owned by Rumi LLC of San Juan, Puerto Rico, the company on the brand's Amazon seller profile. Amazon's Product information names the brand as manufacturer and gives no country of origin, so we list it as not stated. The same brand makes the [High Capacity Pencil Case](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/mr-pen-pencil-case/) we cover. ## How much do they cost? **They're in our $ band, under $5 per highlighter.** The 8-pack usually works out at under a dollar a stick on Amazon and Mr. Pen's store, which we checked on October 23, 2026. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do Mr. Pen gel highlighters bleed through Bible pages?
