Introduction
Over the years you've relied on rulers for precise layouts, and accurate measurements remain crucial; choose high-quality, durable PS plastic models that resist warping and accept vivid branding via Print & Graphics printing options—but beware of sharp edges on thin rulers which can cut skin or clothing. You'll value clear scales, bevelled edges for inking, and one-sided print areas for logos.

Have rulers printed
You know rulers remain important teaching aids despite the digital shift; at Print & Graphics you can have rulers printed with your advertising and distribute them as practical, long-lasting giveaways to younger customers. Take advantage of the various printing and design options available and submit your print job directly online with only a few clicks.
Rulers still help when you draw geometric shapes in class or mark passages at university, so you can use that high target‑group affinity to your advantage. Choose to have high-quality plastic rulers printed with your slogans or logos and you’ll score points with students of all ages.
Ideal promotional gifts for school pupils and students
Whether you are a savings bank, supermarket, student insurance company or food delivery service, if your audience includes school pupils and students, rulers are an ideal giveaway: practical in everyday use and, with a fashionable design, able to become sought-after “lifestyle” products that carry your brand daily.
If you’re creative you can design rulers to sell in your retail outlet or order personalised pieces as a thoughtful gesture for your office team; having rulers printed with a personal message is an inexpensive way to boost morale and brand recognition.
For best results you should select durable materials and correct print specifications: opt for the 16‑cm PS plastic rulers with bevelled and inking edges, and design within the available print areas (160 x 12 mm or 170 x 22 mm) using suitable processes like digital, pad or screen printing or CMYK for photos. Avoid cheap, brittle alternatives because low-quality rulers can snap and create sharp edges that pose a safety risk; choosing quality materials keeps your giveaways both safe and effective.

Two Large Print Areas for One-Sided Printing
You can choose between two generous print formats depending on the ruler model: 160 x 12 mm or 170 x 22 mm, and the artwork is printed on one side. These dimensions give you clear, readable space for logos, contact details or short slogans so your message stands out every time the ruler is used.
When you prepare your print file, follow the specifications in the data sheet closely to avoid delays or misprints — failing to meet the data requirements can cause production errors and additional costs. Properly formatted files let you get consistent results quickly and keep your campaign on schedule.
Modern Printing Processes for a Variety of Options
Printing is available via modern digital methods or traditional pad/screen printing, which lets you choose between full-colour photos and sharp spot-colour branding. If your design uses photographs or many gradients, opt for the CMYK four-colour process; for bold single-colour logos and maximum durability, pad or screen printing is often preferable.
If you’re unsure which technique best suits your design and budget, contact Print & Graphics for guidance so you get the outcome you expect. Their team can advise on colour separations, file setup and the best method to ensure ink adhesion to the ruler material.
In practical terms, digital printing gives you fast turnaround and full-colour flexibility, while pad and screen printing deliver strong, opaque spot colours and excellent wear resistance on PS plastic rulers; choose based on whether you prioritise photographic detail or long-term visibility of simple branding.
High-Quality 16-cm Plastic Rulers
Features and Benefits
Your ruler is manufactured from high-quality, durable PS plastic, offering a clear 16-cm scale for everyday measuring. You get a compact footprint of approximately 170 x 22 x 2 mm, and choices in red, blue or white, so the ruler fits easily into pencil cases, pockets or promotional packs. Each unit includes both a bevelled edge for drawing accurate lines and an inking edge for clean reproduction when marking or tracing.
You can use these rulers as practical giveaways or branded merchandise: the flat surface accepts modern printing methods that keep logos and messages highly legible. The combination of portability, visual impact and functional design means the ruler performs as a measuring tool while also serving as an effective promotional item for schools, offices and events.
Durability and Usage
The polystyrene construction delivers good day-to-day resilience: your ruler will resist ordinary knocks and retain straightness under normal use, making it a reliable tool in classrooms and offices. While PS is robust for measuring tasks, it is not indestructible — avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat since the plastic can warp or discolor under those conditions.
Use the bevelled and inking edges for precise line work and for producing clean printed marks; these features help you maintain accuracy and neat results. For branding, printed artwork holds up well with appropriate printing methods, so your logo or message remains visible through frequent handling.
For safe, long-lasting use: do not use the ruler as a lever or pry tool and do not use it as a cutting guide with a utility blade, as that can score or crack the material and create sharp edges. Store your ruler flat and away from heat sources to preserve its shape and appearance, and choose suitable printing options from Print & Graphics to ensure your artwork endures.
Summing up
From above, you can see that rulers remain a highly practical promotional and educational tool that places your brand directly into the hands of students, customers and staff. By ordering from Print & Graphics you can customise colour, size and design so your rulers work equally well as giveaways, retail items or employee gifts that reinforce your message through everyday use.
Choose the appropriate print area and process — 160 x 12 mm or 170 x 22 mm one-sided printing on durable 16‑cm PS plastic, using digital, pad/screen or CMYK four‑colour printing — and prepare your file according to the data sheet to ensure smooth production. If you need guidance on formats, colours or finishes, you can contact Print & Graphics for professional assistance to make your rulers both functional and distinctive.
