About this product
The yellow STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL highlighter, sold as a single pen under article number 70/24, with the barrel reading STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL beside the red swan roundel.[3] Both of STABILO's own product pages, the international one and the German shop, carry this barcode in their markup and publish the same property list: a chisel tip giving two line widths of 2 and 5 mm, the STABILO Anti-Dry-Out Technology that allows up to four hours with the cap off, and refillability with the BOSS ORIGINAL refill.[4][1] The maker records the pen as not erasable, not water resistant, without a grip zone or a ventilated cap, and warns that the ink contains the preservative BIT and that skin contact should be avoided; the German page adds that recycled material is used.[4][1]
More about this product
The BOSS highlighter has been sold since 1971, and German Wikipedia credits the fluorescent-ink highlighter of that year to the then managing director Günter Schwanhäußer.[5] STABILO's websites are operated by STABILO International GmbH of Schwanweg 1, Heroldsberg, a company of the Schwan-STABILO group registered at Fürth under HR B 9784.[6] A German retailer's GPSR block names that same company as the economic operator responsible for the article.[7] On 12 September 2026 the pen cost EUR 1.50 in STABILO's own German shop, EUR 0.99 at architekturbedarf.de, EUR 1.55 at Modulor and EUR 2.63 from the Lithuanian distributor RCL, which also gives its shipped weight as 18.85 g.[1][7][8][2] No source consulted names a factory, so the country of origin is left empty.
The barcode was already on the first Barcodepedia in 2006, as "Stabilo Boss Original Textmarker neongelb".[9] Two open databases misfile it, and neither is followed here. MusicBrainz gives 4006381333627 as the barcode of the 2004 CD "Eye Eye" by Timesbold, which contradicts the maker's own pages.[10] The Open Food Facts record is typed as a food, carrying nutrition values that cannot belong to a highlighter and tagged as an incorrect product type, and its uploads mix two genuine photographs of this pen with a children's atlas; only the pen photographs are used.[11][12]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 4 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 1 / 4 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 1 / 17 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- identity · unknown: country_of_origin is left empty. Neither the maker's pages, the imprint nor any retailer read here states where the pen is made, and a GPSR manufacturer block names the responsible company rather than a production site
- evidence · disputed: MusicBrainz holds this barcode for the 2004 CD "Eye Eye" by Timesbold on Zealrecords, catalogue zealcdee 008. The maker's own pages carry the GTIN for the highlighter, so this page follows the maker; the lookup nonetheless proposes filling Release and Tracks
- evidence · disputed: The Open Food Facts record for this barcode is typed as a food and carries nutriments that cannot belong to a highlighter. It is tagged en:incorrect-product-type, and its uploads mix this pen with a children's atlas. Only the pen photographs are used
- specifications · unknown: The maker's international page says the BOSS ORIGINAL comes in 33 colours while the German page says 23, nine fluorescent and fourteen pastel. Neither figure describes this article, but they disagree
- relationships · unknown: The imprint gives STABILO International GmbH's register entry, Fürth HR B 9784, and VAT number DE 236951119. The company already exists here, so a review pass cannot add them to its stub; they are recorded in the relation note instead
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
- schema · schema_gap: Some specifications retain source labels without comparable property keys.
