Notes on these facts
Country of manufacture not stated: Amazon's Product information for ASIN B0793DYRKV lists the manufacturer as Mr. Pen and gives no country of origin, and Mr. Pen's own store page doesn't state one (checked October 23, 2026).

Colors: names per Mr. Pen, checked October 24, 2026. The eight colors Mr. Pen lists for the Assorted Colors 8-pack (BH06). The barrel color matches the gel. Tints were sampled from the barrels in Mr. Pen's product photo, with hand-picked values for blue and yellow. The pack holds two orange barrels and a coral one beside the dark pink; we read the coral barrel as light pink and the paler of the two oranges as light orange, sampled from the main pack photo and the eight-pen photo on the same Mr. Pen page. Tints are representative, not measured. Shops stock different colors.

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.
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.
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.
