Marz Today Makes Its Debut at Manila Pen Show 2026
Marz Today proudly joined Manila Pen Show for the first time as an event sponsor, marking a significant milestone for the stationery brand. Held from March 28 to 29 at the Fairmont Hotel, Manila Pen Show 2026 was the largest edition of the event to date, according to organizers.
This year’s show featured 60 exhibitors, with 35 participating for the first time. Among these newcomers was Marz Today, bringing its unique blend of analog creativity to the country’s premier fountain pen gatherings.
To commemorate the occasion, Marz Today designed an official event stamp that guests could use free of charge throughout the weekend. The stamp station quickly became a popular stop for attendees documenting their visit to the show.

The brand’s participation aligned naturally with the event’s “Hello Retro” theme. Drawing from its extensive catalog of analog-inspired rubber stamp designs, the brand showcased imagery that celebrated the technologies and objects of a pre-digital era, including cassette tapes, rotary telephones, film cameras, and other nostalgic media.
The event also served as the launch venue for Marz Today’s new collection of fountain pen ink bottle-themed stamps. Together, these designs highlighted the enduring appeal of handwriting where traditional tools and analog experiences continue to find new audiences in a digital age.

Attendance exceeded expectations from the very first day. The volume of visitors created long queues at the stamp station, prompting organizers to reroute traffic flow on the second day to improve the guest experience.
As an added highlight, Marz Today’s chief creative, Marz, created custom stamps on the spot based on handwritten words submitted by visitors. These one-of-a-kind designs transformed personal handwriting into functional rubber stamps, giving guests a memorable keepsake from MPS 2026.
