edding 750 versus 751: choose the label size before the marker number

The edding 751’s higher number does not mean a broader line than the 750. The manufacturer lists the 750 with a 2–4 mm round-nib stroke range and the 751 with a 1–2 mm range.

Those figures come from edding’s 750 product information and 751 gloss-paint-marker information. They are useful for identifying the intended line size, not a measured result on every surface.

Use the real lettering space

Draw the available label rectangle on scrap material similar to the intended surface. Try the full word, including the smallest required letters. A line that looks clear in a large demonstration may close the spaces inside small characters.

For a broad heading, the larger stroke can reduce repeated passes. For a compact identifier, the finer option may leave more space between marks. These are task-based reasons to choose; we have not run a coverage or legibility comparison.

Keep industrial heat-resistance or other specialist claims outside a casual craft comparison unless the exact application and product instructions have been checked. A line-width decision does not certify a marking for a regulated task.
