Review on 🎨 ArtBin 6934AB Satchel with Marker Tray, Clear Plastic Storage Case - Art & Craft Organizer (Semi) by Jessica Lewis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fits but could change design MARKERS ONLY

Worked for my needs. One tray only holds 60 markers as the 4 slots are compromised by the clips that hold the marker trays in the pocket. The markings are not level due to the ribs on the bottom of the bag that hold the removable dividers. Because some markers sit on top of the tabs, they sit higher in the box and the lid sticks out when closed. A better design would be a slightly deeper box and taller inserts that sit in the box rather than being held in place by clips. This frees up the 4 slots lost for clips and takes the stress off the lid. My Spectrum Noir markers are 6 inches high. If your marks are shorter, You may not have a problem with the bulb, but 4 slots are really lost unless you have very thin marks as 4 slots are shaped differently when made for clips. I tried my Stampin' Up Blendabilites in the slots above the ribbed base and they went deeper into the box. The blends are also 6 inches but due to their shape it was easier to fit them in the slot so they sit properly in the box but you have to wiggle them until they fall off the comb to get them seated deeper. Copiks fit better in a pocket due to their size, which is slightly shorter than 6 inches, and they are thinner markers. When I tried to insert and remove the pen in the 4 lost slots in the marker insert, I was able to insert the marker into the slot but when removing it I had to pull and wiggle and the cap came loose in the process & got under the tray and markers. I had to remove all of the marker inserts and markers to get the cap out and then put it back in. Trust me, you don't want to do that, so whether you're using Spectrum Noir, Stampin' Up Blendabilities, or Copic markers, those 4 wasted slots are really lost. I'll probably buy another bag because this bag, despite its flaws, is better than my previous storage method, but I hope ArtBin sees the light of day and creates a marker bag that is truly JUST FOR MARKERS.
