Ink-Tag Marker Mighty Marker IM-31 4.0mm Chisel Tip Black 6 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The IM-31 Ink-Tag Marker is engineered specifically for polyurethane ear tags used in livestock identification, delivering a level of permanence and clarity that standard markers cannot match. Manufactured by Arro-Mark Company under the Mighty Marker brand, this marker combines a contoured grip for comfortable handling with a precision‑engineered 4.0mm chisel tip that creates bold, easily readable lines on the smooth surface of polyurethane tags. The valve‑action mechanism ensures a consistent ink flow, preventing the tip from drying out even if the cap is removed briefly, which is essential for busy farm environments where time is at a premium.

Each marker is filled with 10 ml of high‑visibility black ink, a capacity that far exceeds typical markers and reduces the frequency of replacements during intensive marking operations. The ink formulation is industrial‑grade, offering waterproof, fade‑resistant, and abrasion‑resistant properties that guarantee legibility for up to ten years of exposure to sunlight, rain, snow, and extreme temperature fluctuations. The marker complies with U.S. manufacturing standards, reinforcing its reliability and durability for both agricultural and industrial applications.

Beyond its functional attributes, the IM-31’s design incorporates a durable metal barrel that protects the internal ink reservoir from impact and accidental drops, while the ergonomic contoured grip minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged use. The black color of the marker body provides a professional appearance and easy identification among other tools in a farm or warehouse setting. The product is packaged in a convenient six‑pack, allowing teams to equip multiple workers or maintain a ready supply for ongoing tagging projects.

Usage

Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, the IM-31 excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. On a cattle ranch, workers can quickly and accurately label ear tags, ensuring each animal is uniquely identified for health monitoring, breeding records, and regulatory compliance. The marker’s chisel tip cuts through the slick polyurethane surface without slipping, producing clear, permanent markings that remain legible even after the animal has been exposed to mud, rain, and sunlight.

In industrial settings, the marker is equally effective for tagging equipment, safety labels, and inventory tags made from polyurethane or similar plastics. Its waterproof and fade‑resistant ink prevents loss of critical information during cleaning cycles, chemical exposure, or prolonged storage in harsh warehouses. The valve‑action system also makes the marker suitable for field technicians who may need to pause work and later resume marking without worrying about ink drying or clogging.

Because the marker is made in the United States, it meets stringent quality controls that are essential for organizations that require traceability and compliance with industry standards. Whether used on a small family farm or a large commercial operation, the IM-31 provides a dependable solution for any tagging task that demands durability, readability, and ease of use.
