Why we’re wild for Mildliners
Mildliners – our highlighter superstars!
This month is global Mildliner month at Zebra Pen. We’d like to highlight that! What is it about these sleek and simple dual-tipped highlighters that makes them a universal favourite? A choice of 20 shades, or the exclusive Zebra ink formula that makes them so easy and addictive to use? Well, all that – and their incredible versatility.
Mildliners help you design journal pages, create beautiful lettering and calligraphy, experiment with colour and illustration and of course, create sets of colour-coded study notes and planners.
These hallmark Zebra pens are the ultimate creative companions to free your imagination.
20 colours to choose from
Remember those clunky fluorescent neon highlighters that always took up far too much room in your pencil case? Kiss them goodbye. With a palette of 20 colours to choose from, versatile packs of 5, 10 or 15 pens and a unique translucent ink formula which can layer and blend to create a rainbow of bespoke effects, even the most mundane study notes look more stylish with a touch of mild.
Choose from specially curated packs of classic subtle colours like our Fluorescent, Cool or Gentle sets to the more vibrant Warm colour collection – perfect for autumn crafting. And the Big 30 pack – 15 Mildliners and 15 Z-Grips – is incredible value, and only available in Tesco.
Using Mildliners for studying

With their trademark double-ended combo chisel tip on one end, and a fine point tip on the other, Mildliners are born multi-taskers. The chisel underlines or highlights neatly with a single, smudge-free stroke. The tip is brilliantly versatile for adding fine detail, embellishing borders or listing key points.
“Mildliners are the ultimate notetaking pen for students,” says Peach who created our August ambassador How-to guide on effective notetaking. “I change up my colour combos each month or with different subjects – and I’ve always got a couple of extras in my bag, just in case.” Take a Sarasa Clip or a Z-Grip for making notes on the go, and you’re sorted.

“Calligraphy creates art with words”
Zebra brand ambassador and lettering expert, Andrew
Whether you’re a pro or just starting out, Mildliner brush tips are a match made in heaven for artistic lettering and calligraphy. That smooth ink flow can be – we’ll admit! – slightly addictive – our ‘f’s and ‘y’s are becoming more and more elaborate!
“I started with a nib pen but then I found – and fell in love with – Mildliner Brush pens,” says Andrew, our ambassador who authors our upcoming How to get started in calligraphy blog.
“Brush lettering is so smooth and easy with pens – I normally use shades of browns for my calligraphy, but I love the whole Mildliner palette.”

Mildliners – every journaller’s must-have pen

A billion people around the world have caught the journalling habit. Journals help us record those little life moments that mean so much. Or process more challenging emotions and situations.
But the creative act of journalling itself – designing pages and layouts, embellishing borders and experimenting with lettering or calligraphy, can be a cathartic and calming experience in its own right – and we curated this journaller’s pack to match.
Mildliner double-ended creative highlighters are a brilliantly versatile choice for customising your spreads and layouts or prioritising important tasks. And the fine tip makes quick work of fine detail illustration or longer entries as well as lettering and highlighting.
Slip a mini 5-pack in your tote for when inspiration strikes – and keep a bumper 15-pack at home.
Immersing yourself for 10 minutes a day in mindful colouring or crafting is as beneficial to your wellbeing as a 30 minute meditation session. It’s both a tonic for your wellbeing and creatively rewarding.
“With colouring being such a huge trend right now, it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase the brilliantly versatile family of Zebra Mildliners,” says ambassador Lois. “They blend, they layer, and they’re built to last”!
“I can create a rainbow of techniques using only a handful of colours.”
As we head into the cooler months, it’s a great time to take up a new creative hobby, too. Keep calm and colour on!
