Dab-O-Ink

Clean chisel tip

The foam tip covers the number in one stroke and can be swapped out if worn.

Color matched caps

Ribbed caps twist off fast and match the sleeve so you pull the right shade.

Single bottles to cases

Order one lucky color, a six pack, a wrapped dozen, or a full hall case.

Glitter and glow inks

Choose solid shades, real Dazzle glitter flakes, or neon inks for cosmic night.

Bottles and packs for every game

We fill the same ink into standard bottles, tall heavy-session bottles, and mini travel tips. Pack them by the dozen or take a single color.

Hall regular favorites

The standard bottles and solid colors that seasoned players keep in their totes week after week.

What we stand by

Filled at home

We have filled our ink bottles right here in the USA for decades. The blend stays bright on paper and will not soak through the card.

Shaped for long games

Sessions run for hours. We mold the bottles to rest easy in hand and cap them with ribbed tops that twist off without a fight.

One player or whole hall

A solo player needs one favorite red. A charity tournament needs full cases. We wrap the same honest ink for both.

Picking your bottle

Three quick steps to find the ink that suits your card grid and your table.

  1. Choose the bottle size

    Grab the standard bottle for weekly play, the tall bottle for heavy sessions, or the mini tip for small travel cards.

  2. Pick the ink style

    Stick with classic solid ink, add sparkle with Dazzle glitter, or pick fluorescent ink for cosmic black-light games.

  3. Select the pack shape

    Buy a single replacement color, a six pack, a dozen of mixed shades, or a full case for a whole room.

Straight from the line

The standard dozen

We bottle this run for the organizers who need a whole rainbow across the tables before the caller sits down. Each standard bottle carries our classic solid ink under a color-matched cap. You get a broad spread of bright shades with one favorite doubling up, all ready to stamp clean circles right out of the box.

Dauber care and tips

We would

  • Store your bottles upright between weekly games.
  • Cap the bottle tight as soon as the session ends.
  • Prime a fresh foam tip on a scrap sheet first.
  • Check the cap color to grab the right shade fast.

We would not

  • Do not leave bottles lying sideways in a hot car trunk.
  • Do not press hard enough to crush the tip and puddle ink.
  • Do not trade caps between two different ink colors.
  • Do not leave the foam tip open to dry between rounds.

Asked before the first bottle

Three things players want cleared up

Dauber or dabber?

Both, and the bottle is the same either way. Halls across the States mostly say dauber, halls in Britain and Ireland say dabber, and plenty of players use whichever word they grew up hearing. Ask us for either and you will get the same shelf.

What the mini tip is for

Pull tabs and ninety ball tickets print their boxes small, and a 3 oz chisel can cover two of them in one tap. The 1.5 oz mini lays a narrower mark for that kind of paper, which is also why it rides in coat pockets and bus trip totes.

Read how the three sizes differ

How far one bottle goes

Further than most first timers guess, though the honest answer moves with how hard you press and how many cards you run at once. We counted it out at the desk rather than rounding it off.

Read what a bottle actually lasts

Decades on the card

We spend our days filling ink bottles because we care about that one clean circle on the card. When the caller reads the letter, the dot should land neat and dry fast. We keep the plastic sturdy, the foam firm, and the ink bright so you can play your cards in peace.

Choosing your Dab-O-Ink daubers

Every bottle we fill uses the same dependable ink, but the pack shapes fit different ways of playing. A lone player heading to Thursday bingo might only want one tall bottle of lucky blue. A family sitting together can share a six pack of mixed brights, while a charity game organizer will want a wrapped dozen or a full case.

Check the card size before picking your tip. Small grids on travel cards work best with the mini bottle tip, while standard hall sheets take the regular chisel edge. If your hall dims the lamps for cosmic night, our fluorescent inks glow under black light, and the Dazzle line leaves real sparkle behind on every win.

Where to begin

If you are new to our line, start with a mixed dozen of the standard bottles. That gives you several solid colors to try across different paper cards, and the standard size sits comfortably in any tote pocket.

Once you know what you like, grab the tall bottle in your favorite shade for long sessions, or add a six pack of Dazzle glitter bottles when you want some sparkle at the table.

From the tables

The ribbed cap is easy to twist off before the early bird game, and the purple ink never puddles across the line.

Donna, Thursday player in Ohio

We bought two cases of mixed dozens for our school fundraiser. The caps match the sleeves so hand-outs went fast.

Marcus, charity organizer in Texas

The mini bottles work great on our small practice sheets and pack right into my pocket without taking up room.
