Compact and Practical
This round tape measure extends to 5 feet, with an auto-lock mechanism that holds the tape in place and a push button that returns it smoothly. The durable PVC tape is built to withstand frequent use, and the ABS case protects the tape when not in use.
Dual Measurement Systems
The tape features both Imperial and Metric markings, making it useful for a variety of measuring tasks. Its compact 2-inch diameter and lightweight design make it easy to carry on a key ring or in a pocket.
Customizable Branding
Your logo can be applied to the top surface using pad printing, which produces crisp, fine details on the curved surface. This makes it an effective promotional item for home-improvement promotions or as a practical client gift.

Decoration & Imprint
3 methods
Your imprint is placed on the top surface of the tape measure. Pad printing applies a thin, flat layer of ink that conforms to the curved surface, holding fine lines and small text with crisp edges. Digital print and heat transfer (Crystal Print) are also available for full-color artwork, with digital print reproducing gradients and photographic detail in one pass, and Crystal Print adding a high-gloss, subtly raised finish.
Pad PrintPMS1 color/location included · one-time setup $60.00 · Up to 2 colors
Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, flexing into curves, angles, and recessed areas flat application can't follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges — each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid, holding evenly on contoured or darker surfaces; cured ink resists everyday wear.
Digital PrintPMSone-time setup $60.00 · Full color
Digital printing sends artwork straight from file to the item — no plates or per-color screens — laying all colors down in a single pass. It carries photographs, gradients, drop shadows, and dense multi-color artwork at high resolution, reading as a flat image on the surface. A specific brand color is rendered as a close full-color process simulation rather than an exact spot ink, and on colored items the substrate shifts the appearance.
Heat Transfer — Crystal PrintPMSone-time setup $60.00 · Full color
Crystal Print is a full-color imprint producing high-definition graphics with a glossy, decal-like surface and a subtle raised effect you can see and feel. It reproduces photographs, gradients, and detailed multi-color artwork with fine detail intact. Color is a full-color process blend that comes close to brand references rather than matching exact spot inks.

- What is pad printing and what does it look like?
- Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, so the pad flexes into curves, angles and recessed areas that a flat application cannot follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges. Each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid that holds evenly on contoured or darker surfaces, and the cured ink resists everyday wear. More about Pad Printed →
- When should I choose pad printing over screen printing?
- When the artwork has fine lines, small text or tight detail that must stay sharp on a contoured or uneven surface, such as a pen barrel or a curved drinkware wall. The conforming pad holds crisp edges where flat methods cannot reach. Pad printing suits fine detail better than flooding large areas, so for broad solid fills, photographs or gradients look at screen printing or a full-color process instead. More about Pad Printed →
- What is digital full-color printing?
- Digital printing sends the artwork straight from file to the item with no plates or per-color screens, laying every color down in a single pass. It carries photographs, gradients, drop shadows and dense multi-color artwork at high resolution, reading as a flat image on the surface, and holds fine detail and small type cleanly.
