The original plant marker was produced as an experiment in late 2009. We wanted to try out our first formulated BioComposites material, which was corn cobs and recycled high density polyethylene, which performed very well! This helped us to demonstrate to potential customers that our material was truly capable of being processed by injection molding and is a viable substitute for petroleum based virgin plastics. After introducing the markers to the market, it didn’t take long for them to be a real hit!

Each order has weatherproof labels that can be handwritten with a permanent nursery ink marker or use an ink jet or laser printer. They’re pressure sensitive, easy to apply and remove when they do start to wear out. They remain in place and readable through all kinds of weather. When it’s time to replace, peel them off, and clean with alcohol base cleaner.

The markers come in eight colors and three sizes:
