The material is robust enough for regular use and maintains shape under normal conditions.

Suitable for

• School and student geometry and drawing exercises
• Technical drawing and drafting
• Art and illustration work that requires clear overlay
• Everyday measuring and straight-edge cutting guides

Key specifications

• Material: transparent plastic
• Scale: clear printed measurement markings for direct reading
• Length: standard ruler length suitable for typical measuring tasks
• Edge type: straight, beveled edge for accurate line drawing

How to use

Place the ruler directly on the work surface aligning the printed scale with the start and end points of the area to be measured or drawn. Hold the ruler firmly with one hand to prevent slipping while drawing or cutting along the edge with a pencil, pen or craft knife. For best visibility, position the ruler so the transparent section overlays the markings or drawing lines you need to see. Clean gently with a soft cloth to remove residue and prevent scratching of the printed scale.

Usage recommendations

Store the ruler flat or in a protective sleeve to avoid warping. Avoid exposure to high heat or prolonged direct sunlight to maintain plastic clarity and prevent deformation. When cutting along the edge, use light, controlled strokes and a cutting mat underneath to protect both the ruler and the work surface.
